Admining just got a bit easier

Here SysOps can list their MultiPlayer server info and users can send feedback to their SysOps. Or just talk about the MultiPlayer servers they play on. This is not about MultiPlayer in general - please use the MultiPlayer Forum for that!

Simple reason Raw, I use the threat of a rep change and character move instead of banning now.

No cash / 100% hostile factions / Move to Omicron Alpha

Soon gets the attention of a NY pker. Also now I can remove any banking cargo missles/torpedos they could sell to to get a rep change.

But I dont use the 3 strikes rule, first that happens and if they repeat then there banned. But hopefully in future with further FLSO updates it will be a timed ban.

I want my server active but break the one and only set rule and I will deal with who ever.

timed bans,? hmmm, maybe, but when i ban em, i want wm to stay banned, btw, when u close flso down, then restarting it, does anyone else get the msg, "being used for the first time, or files moved" thingy, cos i get it every time, also i have to re put in the banner msg`s again..
pity the telnet is on the bottom of his 2 do list tho, but i do like this s/ware, but i noticed that the low cpu usage option has dissapered since his char editor progy

@server check that the setting ini's have been created, there should be 3 in the FLSO folder.

FLServerOperator.ini
FLServerOperatorBanners.ini
FLServerOperatorPlayerList.ini

ed: yep the low CPU usage ws removed as it actually made it worse

I like Pingers attitude, nothing sends a message better for a kill thief or mod cheater thinking he's gonna hop into his cloaked uber fighter and ruin someone elses day to find instead all he has is a starflier with no money no guns and is sitting in the middle of hostile territory.
I think timed bans are a good idea, as an additional option like a penalty box, "ban until" such date and time or ban permanently, as not all offences warrant a permanent ban.
Administrating a game server can be a big job, there are sometimes hundreds of accounts to have to deal with, so if some of that process could be automated, that would be a big help.

cheers ping, i seem to be missing a file, the "FLServerOperator.ini" any idea why it aint creating it? it would also be nice to see the thrusters on same page as the rest of loadouts, without going into the ed bit..

No idea why it didn't create it first time round, so backup the other 2 and reinstall FLSO. Failing that you might have to create it manually.

ed: btw Fiik has added a FLSO public access section for all admins on his board, as well as the beta testers section

Here
