Reading Server Options via Gscript

zokemon · #1 11-16-2004, 11:20 PM

is there a variable/string prefix or something that I need to read server options in a script?

Any help appriciated.

Admins · #2 11-17-2004, 12:57 AM

No it's not possible to access the server options yet. You want to display them or actually change them?

osrs · #3 11-17-2004, 01:59 AM

Not possible, like Stefan said, but if you eventually want to check the staff list, there are other ways to do that.

Display them. I know there are a ton of ways around this but if I said something like specialaccounts=zokemon,Slash-P2P
and I wanted it to pm a message to those accounts when they log on...can this be done via server ops?
(Don't bother explaining how to pm when someone logs on...I only care about the server ops part)

Stefan replied to my post but not my PM

You could do that with server-flags too

Or even a database-NPC.

I've wanted GScript to be able to read server options for a while.
It would be nice for certain NPCs that check if a person is staff, or something along those lines.

zokemon · #9 11-17-2004, 10:12 PM

You can veiw peoples rights with GScript... ;o

I remember Delph finding something like 70 SO commands. There's probably more if you look..

It is possible and there is no need to check the server-options. By the way, the server-options shouldn't and hopefully will not be able to be checked by non-staffs.

I'm saying have npcs load if the player is or is not staff from the server list, then maybe set a string or something acknowleding he/she is a staff member. That way there doesnt need to be another string somewhere.

But arguments will always be added and keep the thread alive.

zokemon · #17 11-19-2004, 12:49 AM

But of course, as long as it isn't something that someone posts that I specifically said I don't not need to know about but they felt like posting it anyways in an attempt to make me look less skillful then I actually am.

Slash-P2P · #18 11-19-2004, 12:52 AM

So a moderator can close everyones threads when they want, but can't close a thread when someone asks? I know atleast 1 moderator has viewed this thread. It really shows how great the Graal administration is.

zokemon · #19 11-19-2004, 12:53 AM

Oh you betcha'

Slash-P2P · #20 11-19-2004, 01:41 AM

Now lets wait for a moderator to pretend they do a good job, modify/delete my posts, and finally close the thread.

zokemon · #21 11-19-2004, 01:42 AM

Not gonna happen.

Slash-P2P · #22 11-19-2004, 01:43 AM

It always happens.

Yeah, we are all villaineous evildoers because we only use moderation tools in accordance with the rules and not on arbitrary requests. DOOM.

You could do something in favor of the players.

Why should a moderator heed such requests?

Why not? If there is an end to a thread and it couldnt possibly continue being discussed about, and the thread starter requests the thread to be closed, the thread should be closed.

It might just provide "the forbidden thing", Customer Satisfaction.

zokemon · #27 11-19-2004, 03:08 AM

And we all know that professional compainies HATE that.

"Why not?" is not a determinative factor.

Has that happened here? How does one determine whether or not it has? And if it had, surely nobody would be posting anyway, so a lock would be redundant.

Why should we give the thread starter more authority than other users?

The answer was NO. You can not read server options with GScript.

It wouldnt give authority if other users could request it.

What's your point?

Then why did you explicitly specify the creator as the recipient of this right?

I was talking about other threads created by other people.

Ok, the mods dont like players and hate the fact of possible satisfaction so I'm not going to continue arguing.

zokemon · #32 11-19-2004, 05:11 AM

Lets stop arguing, playing little games and being little kids now please.

Where is the logical link between the two? Explain your reasoning.

Quote:

You're being somewhat ambiguous. If you believe that the creator of a thread should have more authority over it than other users then you'll need to justify the belief. If not, you've been using some very misleading wording.

Okay, the players don't like mods and hate that they don't always get their way, but I'm going to continue discussing this because I'm not a hissy child like you.

...says the guy whose primary role in this thread was to pointlessly antagonise the mods because they didn't indulge his egoistic demands.

Slash-P2P · #34 11-19-2004, 05:37 AM

Kai, how about I just put it this way:
I hate the moderators.

Then I'll respond thusly:
Hatred is not a suitable substitute for rational arguments

All you do is argue. Go get some friends and agree on something.

Kaimetsu · #37 11-19-2004, 06:02 AM

Petty insults: Also not good substitutes.

Kiddo, you started an argument and you lost. Don't blame the victor just for being better than you.

zokemon · #38 11-19-2004, 07:06 PM

Kai has to have the last word just liek a little kid.
If you respond It will only prove me right no matter what you say.
Please stop talking now.

I do not think your attempts to alter reality are going to work.

What an astounding hypocrite. If you feel that such puerile and illogical assertions carry any weight then perhaps I should take advantage of them myself.

'zokemon' has to have the last word just like a little kid. If he ever responds to anything ever again, he proves me right. If he doesn't, the board is a better place. Either way, I'm happy
