- A "New" Life™(XAdmin's Only Ultimate Manual)
_________________________________________________
[size=14pt]The DETAILS of this Release
Background Information: Well, the moment has come. This release is packed with crucial updates, along with a lot of other interesting ones. You will easily be amazed by all of the features that this release contains, which are going to be discussed later in the post. However, this is nothing like the other versions of Xtreme Administration.
The New Features: Well, lets start simple. The new features are plentiful and will require a lot of describing. Here we go:
-
Level System: A simple configuration file and/or function in the script will allow you to set your own levels. Lets drift apart from the old 10 level administration system. Each command has its own pre-set level in the file. The default maximum level is 10. All you have to do is open that configuration file and change the levels you want. It's all that simple. Conclusively, you can have as many levels as you want; 1 or 1,000,000! The choice is yours.
-
Custom Configuration Explained- This by far is , in my opinion, the best feature, for it allows you to configure mostly every command individually in some matter. As like the level system, there is also a set configuration file set up for these commands. Once ingame, just type /UCONFIG to reupdate the variables. Here are the list of variables that you can edit:
- ServerMessage- This stores the server message for when you connect.
- Teleport_X_Offset - This is the offset for the X coordinate when you teleport or get teleported.
- Teleport_Y_Offset - This is the offset for the Y coordinate when you teleport or get teleported.
- Teleport_Z_Offset - This is the offset for the Z coordinate when you teleport or get teleported.
- MinimumPasswordLength - The minimum password length for when you register.
- DisplayServerMessage - Display the server message on connect?
- SlapDecrement - The amount of health to take away when you slap someone.
- WiredWarnings - The amount of warnings to address when you wire someone.
- GodWeapons - Give weapons for /god?
- MaxLevel - The maximum admin level.
- DisplayCommandMessage - Display the admin used a command?
- DisplayConnectMessages - Display connect and disconnect messages?
- MaxPing - The maximum ping to allow for the ping kicker (0 = off).
- AdminImmunity - Make admins immune for the ping kicker?
- PingSecondUpdate - The amount of seconds to check everyone's ping.
- ForbidData - Action to assign when a player joins with a forbidden name (0=nothing, 1=kick, 2=ban)
- DisableJailCommands - Boolean to prevent users from using commands whilst jailed.
- WireWithPM - Boolean to deliver wire actions when a player is wired and sends a PM.
- ExposePMS - Boolean, when set, will send the PM, along with sender name/id and player name/id, to administrators.
-
Player Variables- The player variables are found in the third and final configuration file. These variables will register to every player's configuration file upon registering. NOTE: These have to be set in the script. There is a function called 'CreateUserConfigFile' which can be found under 'OnFilterscriptInit'. ADD variables to it, for all of the predefined ones are used in the entire script.
-
Registration System- First of all, the x prefix has been removed- just a note. There are new registration messages when you connect. The commands include:
- /REGISTER- Use this command if it tells you to; you have not registered an account. Upon registering, you can put text in the 'OnPlayerRegister' callback if you need anything specific for your game mode. Also, you will automatically be logged in and your IP will report to the file.
- /LOGIN- This command will only appear if the ip in your file is different than the one you are connecting to; otherwise you will auto-login. Once again, there is an OnPlayerLogin function.
- /LOGOUT- Use this when you want to logout; but when you leave the server you will automatically log out! Additionally, there's an OnPlayerLogout function as well.
-
Ping Kick System- The ping kick is a unique system which will kick any players who exceed the maximum set ping. As described, you can set a configuration variable which will toggle admin immunity, and ingame you can use /SETPING for the same purpose.
-
Jail System- This system is primarily for jailing people permanently in their cells until unjailed. Upon the /XJAIL command, the player will be teleported to a jail cell, and on respawn they will be teleported back. Unjailing them respawns them correctly and out of jail.
-
Spectator System- Along with 0.2, a proper spectator system has been implemented. It works like a charm, and a feature you'll have to see for yourself. When a player enters and leaves a vehicle, you do not have to re-spectate them.
-
Wire System- It was described that the old wire system crashed the server with 0 warnings, additionally it prevented everyone from talking when trying to use the script with 0.2. With the new wire system, there are no server crashes, and like all the other systems, should work perfectly without hesitation.
-
Giveme System- Yes, with the creation of dynamic vehicles, included with XAdmin is an administrator giveme menu, which in terms, will create the vehicle which you select from the menu. Upon selection, you will be inserted into the vehicle at the angle you were standing. Pretty cool, huh? Additionally, if you give yourself a vehicle in an interior, it will link inside-- No more invisible cars!
-
Improved Goto and Gethere- Upon teleporting, you will be teleported to the interior of the player; however there are some 0.2 bugs upon teleporting, so if it doesn't teleport you right, DO IT AGAIN and it will work. The same applies for gethere. As described, you can set the offsets of the teleports by configuration variables. Once you have altered those, just type /UCONFIG ingame and presto; changed.
-
Admin CHAT SYSTEM- The default character for admin chat is now #<text>, since most modes do not use the pound symbol for team chats. The admin messages are ensured to be sent only to administrators online, and not to players.
- NICK OR ID- You CAN use the nick portion (part of a name) of the command instead of the id. It is fixed to all it's entirety from v1.3. It's there for a reason after all.
- Car Lock and Unlock- Another system implemented: You now have the ability to lock and unlock your vehicles. When you exit the vehicle, it will be unlocked so this way you don't have to unlock all vehicles or restart the mode.
-
Name Join System- Included in release- see Xadmin Guides folder.

_________________________________________________
Altering the PHYSICAL aspects of the Xtreme Administration FilterscriptInformation: If you are inclined to add features to your version, lets just start off by saying that mostly everything defaultly set, except the levels, should not be altered, but it is best for you if you only add new features. There are two methods upon editing the variables:
- File-Wise- With this method, you will not be able to add any new commands, however you will easily be able to change variables such as configuration. Changing the variables in the 'Variables.ini' file will not be affected; you'll have to edit them in the script. However, the Configuration.ini and Commands.ini can be changed respectively. As mentioned, if you change the Configuration.ini variables, you'll either have to reload the filterscript or type /UCONFIG ingame.
-
Script-Wise- With this method, you can add new things if you know what you are doing. The system was meant to be easy for this purpose. Well, lets get started. You will notice under OnFilterScriptInit() that there are many comments which will explain what to do.
The next thing to edit, 'CreateCommandConfigEx' is there because it will not recreate the configuration file, at least with those commands. The pattern is "command",level,"command",level... If you change any command names, you'll have to edit a lot in the command itself. If you edit 'CreateCommandConfig', the changes will not be editable when the filterscript restarts.
How to edit forbidden name configuration is included in the Xadmin guides.
_________________________________________________
Common Problems Upon UsageThere are not a lot of common problems at this time discovered, the only problem that you might encounter is with the jail. If you kill yourself and respawn in the jail, but fall through the floor, make sure you don't have 'SetPlayerInterior(playerid,0);' under your OnPlayerSpawn callback.
If you have problems with setting your level as 10, joining the server, doing a command and it returns an error, make sure you are logged in and your level is at least that command's level. If all fails, make sure to restart your game and if that fails, type reloadfs XtremeAdmin2 whilst ingame.
Additionally, if you encounter a problem with /SETNAME, please make sure you have SA:MP Scripting Pack Release RC2 or greater.
