RC Commands.

[Torankusu]

we were chatting in RC and idling, and we thought it would be neat to have a few new "/" commands.

First,
/disconnect account
/warp account x y level

a "sendmessage" for people(RCs) when they get online.
For instance, I used
"/sendmessage AlexH messagehere"
it would pop up a message or something.
It would be pretty useful for those people that are hardly on at the same time as you and you... "want to assign work" for instance.

(the purpose for the warp is for people who cannot edit attributes and want to warp an offline account.)

er, i had a few more, and i told them to alexh, I forgot them...

and, NPC server Control -
a TEST feature.


post more.

Don't those already exist?

It could be scripted as is, but it'd need to use server strings/database NPCs/etc. What we really need is the ability to grab offline players with the with statement. Maybe something like:

with(getaccount(soandso)){
doblah;
}

This is for RCs only. I don't know of any scripts that could make a popup thing popup when the RC person logged onto the server.

Hmm. I'm thinking it might be possible, though not by any simple means. Perhaps something with sendpm and with(allplayers[]).

[DuoTCN]

That's a good idea.. Especially for Cadets :P

It was just additions to some of them.
like
/clearnpcs all (forfull server)
and stuff like /clearnpcs worlda-*.nw (would clear all NPCs in all worlda-number)
Same with update level.
So you can update whole sets of levels at a time.

/updatelevel *.nw

WHOOSH, the entire server. lol. Im sure that has LOTS of potential to be abused.

True, it was ment more for uploading new areas and quests.
Whole server update at one time.
/updatelevels *.*
Now that be better then you catch them all.

[Tyhm]

/update* would have to be a reserved, upper-admin command - but when you get hacked everywhere, you NEED it.

I was just about to mention that.

being able to update levels line "/update level levela-*.nw" would also be nice.

[Torankusu]

oh. and there should be smilies for the hell of it.

and a "/disconnect" command.

[bigkow44]

the problem is if there was some corrupt person using sendtorc /disconnect in a loop npc.

And I'm sure that person wouldn't have RC very long after doing that.

i dont see a problem with that, you can already run a loop to reset everyone, which is worse

Grim Squeaker:

Which Stefan could actually quite easily prevent by always removing all /'s from anything send to the RC by scripting.

[jeff335]

There is actually a purpose for doing reset by sendtorc. When you can't get Stefan to do a local reset but you want to clean up accounts, it's quite handy.

A true excerpt from the Providence Control-NPC:

NPC Code:

---

if(actionplayeronline && indexof(+#a+,#s(this.resets))<0){

   sendtorc /reset #a;

   savelog2 reset.txt,#a;

   sendtonc #N reports: I have reset #a;

   setstring this.resets,#s(this.resets)+#a+;

}

Or, it could just be a new right: Use wildcards

Having confirmations for deleting and overwriting files would be nice too.
Also.. you need to have the Change Rights right to use the Change Folder Rights right.. that should be fixed.
