Do you mind if I make some corrections?
This path in Linux is correct: (the other one was incorrect)
Also add a Mac path: (this is if it's on your Desktop)
Notice Windows uses backslashes (\) where other OSes use forward slashes (/). On Windows, that is not the default path. Anyways, I think most people would put this on their Desktop.
Also, please use correct spelling and grammar for these types of posts. That means using capitals where needed and no "teh" (but I noticed you used the right spelling this time ).

AFAIK, you don't specify C:\ on Linux.Win Xp wrote:anyways, im my linux, I made a bzflag folder to put bzflag files in
thanks for the advice
(unless it's because it's dual-boot? I've never used C:\ or seen C:\ on Linux)

I have a dual boot, it is a C:\ on my linux, what should it usually be then ?
If your bzflag stuff is in your home directory: /home/winxp/bzflag or so.
If you want to acess a Windows Partition, you've to mount it.
Linux can not really access to NTFS File Systems
Here is an introduction for mounting devices with Linux:
The names for devices are containing hd (hard disk) or sd (scsi disk) or fd (Floppy Disk).
Then after this part is a letter: a for the first, b for the second device.
Now, you need the number of your Partition.
For C:\ it's almost 1.
example: /dev/hda1
Mostly, the mountpoint for a device is /mnt/, but on many Distributions is a different system.
Then you've to check, where it is, or you've to mount your partition manually:
Go into the console
(I don't know if you need to be root)
On Linux, the first IDE Device is /dev/hda,
If you use it for file acess, it's /mnt/hda.
If you use a Serial Ata or a SCSI device, its /mnt/sda

I think he does not understand the meaning of global groups...
Any server can use any global group, only the owner of those groups can add or remove people. Just tell the person that is hosting the server for you to add your group names into the -groupdb. He will know what to do.

Sounds like a great idea; punish people by putting them in a group that they can leave at any time.
Merry Christmas!

They will receive an email saying "You have been added to the "SERVER.MUTE" group" and they may just click the link provided to see what it's all about.
If they do, they'll surely see the "Leave this group" link, don't you think?

I found a thread last night that showed me all the possible permissions, so I set them up for my cop & administrator groups, and then I tried adding "EVERYONE" and "VERIFIED" to the group file, hoping I could make it to where I could set it so that they couldn't vote for the "set" command. However, they were able to still do it (I asked someone to test it for me).
The reason I ask for this is because there are some people who have been really annoying with "set" polls, trying to set the sky as red, the raintype as frogs, and all that.
How can I get the verified people to only be able to vote for certain things?

Well, I wasn't able to find it. I don't know if it was ever publically released. Anyway, I'm not sure that it even governed /poll sets (although it did work for /set). If you're interested, I might do a little more searching around (or just get in contact with Gnurdux and ask him for it).Constitution wrote:Gnurdux has a plugin that will only allow /set for certain variables.

EDIT: Oops, I spoke to soon. Just found the plugin. The attached .zip file has the source file, a linux .so build, and the configuration file. Just list the variables that you don't want to ever be modified in the config file, and load the plugin with /loadplugin (or -loadplugin) /path/to/protectVars.so,/path/to/protect.conf (where the path after the comma is the path to the configuration file).
Hope this works for you.

It is possible to grant people the POLLKICK, POLLBAN, and POLLFLAGRESET permissions without granting them the POLLSET perm (which allows the setting of variables). Is this what's going on?
I described the loading syntax in my earlier post:
In other words, if the plugin and the config file (protect.conf) are located in your /bzflag directory, use:
The stuff after the comma is the argument to the plugin; namely, the location of the configuration file.

Code: Select all

Code: Select all
/loadplugin /bzflag/protectVars.so,/bzflag/protect.conf
sorry, I guess what I meant about the syntax is how to select the various settings. But I guess to de-select some of them, I can take them out/add a comment symbol (#).
To answer your question, yes; here's what it says in the server when I type "/poll"
Usage: /poll vote yes|no
or /poll ban playername
or /poll flagreset
I successfully did a flagreset poll, and when I tried a poll to set gravity, it said "Ck_asdf, you may not /poll set on this server"
So yes, I only want certain poll options, but I don't want the "set" option to be available. Not any of the set options.
thanks for your help so far!
