How to apply password without breaking certificate

Hi

I have kind of raised this question a long time ago, but I didn't get any working solution and a lot has changed in etpro since then so I thought it time to ask again whether there is any easy working way to do what I'm thinking about ?

I'm running a server, it used to run public campaign, but to allow matches to run I had to rcon the settings, which required me present and if my teammates played matches they sometimes forgot the rcon-password and had to use another server to have it password protected, as they could vote for CB config and vote for maps, but voting for CB config would not set a password on the server.

So, my question is fairly simple, the answer is maybe not, but is there any way to have the config file set a password when loaded ? I.e. could the clanwar.config file be configured with a password without breaking the certificate (guess it would have to be pre-configured but is that an option ?) or is there a way to create a custom .config file that would set a password and then in addition execute clanwar.config, to make it possible to make one vote on a public server and both enable passwords and clanbase config settings ?

Best regards
Mike

Maybe give some of them the semi admin right to change the password (g_password).

Won't work in this, I have already distributed the rcon password, so the problem is not the password itself, it's the complexity of remembering the procedure, I'm more looking for a way to do all the things in one single command, and I'd prefer a callvote option, since the "/callvote config clanwar" has been quite well promoted by bani and others most people will remember that procedure, and then it'd just be the thing of changing the config to "/callvote config customcb" or similar

(Ok, call us old and forgetful but anyway....

Create two extra files in etmain:

default_pub.cfg
default_comp.cfg

These get executed when people call a vote for competition or public settings.

Both can contain extra stuff (on top of server.cfg) you want loaded. E.g. in default_pub.cfg you set g_password = "" and in default_comp.cfg you set g_password "whatever".

Risk is a noob will call a competition vote and one of your members will have to go in with the password and call a vote for public settings again but hey, a small price to pay and it serves the noob well that they all get kicked

hows about:

<i>clanwar1.config</i>
password x
config clanwar

maybe add a g_needpass 1, tho dont think it'd be necessary.

Nope, can't load a config file from within the config file, all I get is an "unknown command" error when executing the "config clanwar" setting

maybe the next clanwar.config should add g_needpass 1

Well try my setting then...

For default_comp.cfg:

Code: Select all

g_password "whatever"
config clanwar

For default_pub.cfg

Code: Select all

g_password ""
config yourconfig

g_needpass should never be set by any .cfg or .config.

It is automatically set when g_password is set to a non-null value, and unset when g_password is set to a null value.
