ZM - Models suggestions

[Christovski]

Currently added and functioning models:
Elite Combine
Stormtrooper

Currently added but broken models:
Lucario (animation/physics broken, model and texture works)
Geth (animation/physics broken, model and texture works)
Zelda (animation/physics broken, model and texture works)
Sonic (Appears as a giant red error)
Tails (Appears as a giant red error)

To be added maybe but seems like most of these are from teh same guy that the above animation errors are from:
Joshua Graham/Burned Man (F:NV)
Rorshach (Watchmen)
Steve (Minecraft)

Just a reminder. Models are still not working for Donators

[Christovski]

The whole Donator group on Sourcebans is busted and that's up to the CL's, I can set up admins not groups.

The problem is giving people the ability to use models without giving them admin on ZM which they shouldnt have.

Well that should just be a matter of changing the group permissions. Assuming that the custom flag six that you have it set to on SB is the command it should be working. I don't know why it wouldn't be.

[DBag]

Yeah I thought you could just set an admin group that only has access to whatever commands you let them have access to

[Christovski]

That works for people who are donators and not admins, but because we are tied to Sourcebans (instead of each server having independent control of admins) every person only has ONE account by steamID on sourcebans. 

Random example: say youre a trial admin on ZPS, you are in the trial admin group, you are given access to that on the ZPS server specifically, and you have an immunity level of 5 (on a scale of 100).  If you were to give them access to another server, it would automatically give them their trial admin abilities on that server, you can't (as far as I can tell the way our sourcebans is set up) give them different abilities on each server because there aren't separate settings for their access on separate servers.

The immunity and group and accesses are all tied to that one account, NOT by server.  Vet admins work fine because they get the same level of access on all servers they are admin on, but as soon as you want someone to be an admin on one server, and only a donator on another, it becomes (as far as I can tell) impossible to do.

Now currently the donator group doesn't work anyways, it is a group with 0 immunity (so all admins can act upon them like normal), and a custom flag for the models plugin, but when people who donated and are set to be in only the donator group (like Otter) join the ZM server, they don't have the flag that sourcebans says they should have, for whatever reason, so that is ALSO broken

Ah OK well that sucks I wanted to be a storm trooper again. It worked when death asked me to test it the first time but not since then. Oh well

[Christovski]

I'll try and bug Death again, I think he did something to the admin file on the server and made it different from sourcebans, then sourcebans probably synced up with the server some time after that and reset his changes to match the master sourcebans data.

[DBag]

Ah ok. I would think you could create something that wouldn't get update by SM to just keep a placeholder for a person. I am not to sure how our servers run through the database so I am just speculating.

[Christovski]

I miss the old days where I could set it all up on the server so we could easily have all sorts of custom levels, but at least sourcebans gives us the ability to track bans and such, its a tradeoff.

[DBag]

Yeah, One for the other

How about you don't use Sourcebans, and instead use the good'ole adminsimple.ini file we used to use in ZPS to add admins and whatnot?

Ideally the flags you would use on SB are the files on the server, and as long as you have the custom flags set up correctly you can just add donators to the adminsimple.ini file and give them 1 immunity and the custom flags + voting flags or whatever else you would want.

If you read the whole thread instead of skimming you would have seen that I mentioned that death tried that very thing Pillz.  Sourcebans ACCESSES those files, and anytime it syncs up or w/e with the server it resets it.  Hence when Death tried it once it worked, but a little while later suddenly it didn't work anymore.

I'm pretty sure that any time you update anything for admins who are on ZM, it updates that file.  Dante was missing the models flag and so I went in SB to add it to his account, and when I looked at the adminsimple.ini file on the server afterwards, it had that custom flag listed. 

If I were to disengage ZM server from sourcebans COMPLETELY it could work, but in doing that I would lose the good ban tracking tools we have, that allow us to identify players with past bans anywhere on CG, which is worth way more than the donator thing.

[Cortez (Mr. T. FOO!)]

Ahh yes, I can see the trouble. I wasn't thinking about the other servers too. The only thing I can think of is to have an external pluggin just for the models, but I can't imagine that being a thing for ZM. At least, not anymore.
