******************************************************************************* *** AdvancedAdmin DLL version 1.0.3, readme file. *** *** Author: Giovanni "EvilCow" Di Sirio *** *** *** *** E-Mail: herpes@ngi.it ICQ: 1302108 *** *** Homepage: http://mw4.ngi.it/evilbot *** ******************************************************************************* ****************************** *** Purpose *** ****************************** To enhance the admin capabilities of the MW4-Monitor with features not present in the base Monitor. ****************************** *** Features *** ****************************** - Auto-Admin of players by name (unsafe, you can try to use hidder characters or spaces after your name but still unsafe). - New telnet commands to add, delete and list the admins. Examples: adm list (lists the currently active admins) adm add "HRR_EvilCow" (add HRR_EvilCow to the admins list) adm delete "HRR_EvilCow" (delete HRR_EvilCow from admins list) adm clear (clear the whole admins list) Note: admins can be added/deleted even editing Admin.ini directly. Useful if you want to create/remove admins from a 3rd part program. Note: the new commands do not appear in the "help" telnet command, those are only the built-in commands. - Admin by temporary passwords, each password can be used once and then it is removed from the passwords cache. It is possible to associate a list of passwords to a player name. - New chat commands. Example: -password "igotthepower" (give the player admin status) -deadmin (self remove admin status) Note that after a successful password presentation the password is removed from the passwords cache and it is no more valid. - New telnet commands to add, clear and list temporary passwords in the cache. Examples: pwd list (list active passwords for all admins) pwd clear "player name" (disables all passwords of an admin) pwd add "player name" "pass1" ... "passN" (add temp. passwords to an admin) Note: passwords can be added/deleted even editing Admin.ini directly. Useful if you want to add/delete passwords from a 3rd part program. ****************************** *** Requirements *** ****************************** - MW4-Monitor version 1.7.4 or newer. ****************************** *** Installation *** ****************************** - Stop MW4-Monitor (if running). - Create a .\Plugins subdirectory into your Mercs home directory. - Copy AdvancedAdmin.dll into .\Plugins subdirectory. - Copy Admin.ini into .\ directory (main Mercs directory). - Start MW4-Monitor. ****************************** *** Versions History *** ****************************** Version 1.0.3 - Modified the DLL to optionally use the bot name on printed messages, if you want the bot name to appear prefix your messages with a $.
