deeverhi00:23
deeverwhen i try to list the loaded plugins in bzadmin (on my private server), i get this:00:25
deever    [SERVER->] You do not have permission to view loaded plug-ins.00:25
deeveris there a way to become admin without centrally registering?00:26
SpringTankuse the password option in your server config and then use that password in client when you get on the server. "/password mypass1234"00:36
deeverSpringTank: aahhh...thank you so much!00:51
SpringTanknp00:52
deeverSpringTank: so the passdb, userdb and groupdb options are not that useful on private servers?00:52
SpringTankcorrect, unless you intend on letting others have different permissions00:53
SpringTanksuch as voting00:53
SpringTankor calling a poll. Typically you don't want unregistered players being able to call a vote00:53
SpringTankand sometimes, you might want to use global admins to help keep your server clean in case you aren't around00:54
blast007there isn't a passdb anymore either01:29
blast007note that it is possible to run a server that uses the central list/auth, but doesn't show up on the list01:34
blast007the -advertise option can be used to specify what user group(s) would see the server on the list, and I believe that '-advertise NONE' is generally used to hide a server01:35
blast007but you can also use VERIFIED to only show it for registered/authenticated players01:35
blast007(you could also request a group on the forums and then add specific people to it, and advertise it only to that group)01:36
deeverblast007: ah cool, but beyond my scope! ;)01:57

OkinaMataraIIRC, there's also some way of setting up some form of a locally run "list/auth server" too, but that's opening a can of worms.20:18
OkinaMatara@deever, if you're good with C++ you can also write a plug-in to create some form of local auth system, but otherwise the password option is the way to go.20:19
OkinaMataraOh, and BTW, maybe not exactly what you're looking for...20:24
OkinaMataraBut you can change the permissions for "everyone" in the group file, IIRC...20:25
OkinaMataraAlthough that grants "everyone" the permission to run or operate anything associated with those permissions, so it may not be the solution you want.20:26
