1. it is saying no personal flags set but i have 89cmds @ lvl 5 and all are working so flags must be set

2. not retaining xp saved info but is retaining k/d ratio

 

???????????

1. The commands are divided between levels and personal. In other words you can define the commands to a level and hen apply that level to a player. Additionally, you can define shrubbot flags that influence only one player. This is what you see in the userinfo. Same for personal greeting etc. To edit individual players you can use !useredit command.

 

2. The XP save and KD rating are different things and have different settings for them. It seems that you don't have XP save enabled or it is reset often.

[jizz]

i understand that xp and k/d are diff, i assumed (prolly wrongly) that both would have been attached to player in the same place? stored in same db?

[gaoesa]

They are both saved in the same place and will show in the userinfo if enabled. However, it appears that the player you checked did not have any XP.

[jizz]

ok xp retention is sorted thxs for all replies....big thxs to HH that bit of cfg you sent sorted it....

[jizz]

still having problems getting shrubbot to work; cannot set custom levels. look at the log file for server and this pops up every time:

It looks like its not looking in the right place for the creation / reading of the files.

[clan DIABOLIK]

You should really ask to your provider, a full FTP access ! If they are not familiar with their job (!) it will be hard to tune your server !!!

 

Look at my classical folders for database components, and the unix-permissions (644) of files, if it can help :

It looks like clanforge isnt setting your directories correctly, thats why it cant find your files or create them where the game wants to.

Ther server.dat file should be in your serverid/silent directory and the other files should be in your database directory where ever it is set to be in, normally set g_dbDirectory "database" in the silent.cfg

[jizz]

asked them for ftp....apparently only minecraft servers have it^^ffs....

i have asked them to do me some screenshots of where they are sticking stuff.....i suspect up their collective bums.....

[NoGooD]

Hmm. I would take the others adivce Jizz and move to a better hosting company. I use them for my servers after using gameservers.com and have been happy. Either way, I'd move on to a new host.
