Locking Server/GM access

CHowell2005 · #1 11-16-2003, 08:26 AM

I read on one of these posts that the GMs of a server can log onto it even if it is locked. Is a GM a status of 100 or 150? I tried this out earlier, i locked my server and tried to log on with my client(which has a status of 200, and is the server op), but it just told me the server was locked and i could not log on. I probably missed something somewhere...so if someone wouldnt mind sending some info and/or a synical comment my way...yeah thatd be great

I know people with 150+ can login not sure where or if it can be set at.

When i tried to log into my locked server with my account that was the serverop(status=200) i simply got the server is locked error. In order to log onto a locked server...do you first have to log onto it when it is not locked and turn on the GM flag? If not then i have some other crap error to fix. Also another question. Does the eqemu login server HAVE to add you into the accounts table in order for you to log onto that server? Or can i manually add an account. I am asking this because i manually added my serverop account, and i was wondering if ifirst should have let eqemu made the account, and then later edit it to make it status 200/server op. Thanks

Are your zone servers connecting to the world server? If not, that is one reason your server will show up as locked and not allow you, as a SysOp, to log on.

Every time i manualy added accounts it made it so that person couldnt login. Delete that, then boot everything up unlocked, login, then flag the account. after that you should be able to log in.

It use to be stated in the walkthrough that you cant pre make accounts in the accounts table and that you cant flag people as a GM untill after they logged in. Not sure if thats changed with the switch to 5.0 but i doubt it has.
