• [FIX] Locked Status

Posted: **Sun Jun 01, 2008 8:05 am**

Edit: Clarifying
In the `variables` table is an override called "minlockedstatus", which by default is set to 100. If you set Locked=true in your LoginServer.ini, players cannot enter your Locked server unless their status is at least "minlockedstatus".
I noticed while running a locked Dev server that new characters created with a status of 0 were (of course) not being allowed into the locked server. So, to give the appearance I was LOCKED, but still allow me to create new toons, I set my minlockedstatus to 0, so new chars could get in.
A bug found in the "status > 0" check prevented me from overriding this status. Here's a simple fix to get locked status to allow admin_status=0 through.

Code: Select all

Index: LoginServer.cpp

 	{
 		int status = atoi ( var->GetValue ( ) );
-		if(status > 0)
+		if(status >= 0)
 			minLockedStatus = status;
 	}

You may not have intended for status=0 players into a locked server, but I think this is a good option to show a server as LOCKED but still allow new characters to be created. For me, my Dev server is locked - but if you make a char there, expect it to be deleted, etc...
Setting minlockedstatus > 0 in the variables table will prevent new chars from entering that server until the admin bumps their characters.admin_status field to match.
Edit: Sorry I just woke up and wasn't super clear what the bug was in the first place.

That is the way it was intended to work (admin level has to be > 0 to join a locked server). Maybe I'll add a variable that will allow people to specify the minimum status to override the lock. That way they can just update their variables table in the DB to change it.

Sorry LE. You do have an override. That's what this fix is to address. I set my "minlockedstatus" to 0, and because of the status > 0 check, I could not get in as a new player.
I assumed it was a bug, because if I set minlockedstatus=0, I should be able to get in anyway.

Ah nevermind then, guess I should read your post more careful next time.

I'll make the change. That is one of the things left over from EQEmu that I completely forgot about.

Naw you probably read it fine. My bad for being sleepy and not writing it up properly. heh.
Thanks for the fix. Hopefully I can help out a little more here and there.
