Configuring WCCMMUD.INI (sys gotos, etc)

[syntax53]

this is taken directly from WCCMMUD.RLN, most people just overlook it.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



3.1) OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION OPTIONS



For various reasons, I want to get away from using CNF options and switch

to an alternative form of adding sysop configurable options to MajorMUD.

The new method will be via the use of a text file called WCCMMUD.INI. I

do not plan on creating any interface to access this file so the only way

you will be able to change options in this file is with a standard text

editor. The file is a series of lines of the form OPTION=VALUE. As new

options are added this section of this document will be updated. Note

that any option not specified in your WCCMMUD.INI file will have a default

value assigned to it.



Note that this file is *NOT* shipped with MajorMUD. The assumption is that

all the options are at their defaults. If you want to use any of these

options then you have to create this file yourself.



Do not include quotes ("") in your values. If you want to leave comments

to yourself you can start a line with # and it will be ignored.



Note that if you enable any of the logging features you will (a) slow your

system down due to the increased disk activity and (b) be responsible for

manually deleting the log file to avoid letting it grow too large.

UPDATE_SPEED

Valid Values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Default Value: 0

Description:

Used to control the speed at which automatic database updates

are applied.

0 == Fastest (most load on system)

1 == Medium

2 == Slow

3 == Slower

4 == Slowest (least load on system)

5 == All at startup (longest bbs start time, no load once started)

Note that an approximate timing is option 0 takes around 9

minutes on a P133 with IDE drives and a 4MB caching controller

under WorldGroup 2.0.

Option 5 takes 8 minutes on a P166 with a SCSI (8ms, 1MB cache)

drive with a regular SCSI controller running in a DOS box under

Win '95 under WorldGroup 1.01.

Another timing we've done here for option 5 also took 8 minutes

but this time it was on a 486-100 with a slow IDE drive and an

8MB caching controller running WorldGroup 3.0 for NT/95 on a

Win '95 system. Interesting comparison: Exact same PC, running

Win '95 in non-gui mode and WG 2.0 took 13 minutes to complete.



LOG_SYSOP_COMMANDS

Valid Values: 0 (means do not log sysop commands)

1 (means log sysop commands)

Default Value: 1

Description:

When enabled, all sysop commands done in MajorMUD will be

logged to the LOGFILE. (This does not include commands

from the sysop menu, just commands in the game.)



MAXIMUM_BANK_BALANCE

Valid Values: 0 (means no maximum)

number (maximum allowed balance)

Default Value: 0

Description:

When set, all bank balances will be limited to this

amount - any excess will be removed from the bank

account for the user with no warning.

The value is in copper pieces (do a 'look' in the

bank for conversion rates).



ENABLE_CLASS_CHANGE

Valid Values: 0 (means do not allow changing class)

1 (means allow changing class)

Default Value: 0

Description:

When enabled, users who had characters prior to version

1.1u will be allowed to change their class in addition

to their race. This only affects characters in this

situation - it does not affect any new characters

created in 1.1u or newer.



RACE_CHANGE_DURATION

Valid Values: 1-720

Default Value: 300

Description:

Characters that existed prior to 1.1u will be given a

chance to change their race (and optionally their

class - see ENABLE_CLASS_CHANGE above). Once they

make the first race change they can continue to change

their race until they have spent this many minutes

playing the game. The default of 300 is 5 hours.



BLANK_LASTNAME_ALLOWED

Valid Values: 0 (Means do not allow blank lastnames)

1 (Means allow blank lastnames)

Default Value: 0

Description:

If you allow blank lastnames then a user can create

a character with just a given/first name and no

last name. If you do not allow blank last names

then the user will be forced to create a lastname.

If you change this setting to force lastnames when

you previously allowed blank lastnames it does not

force users without last names to enter one until

they train stats (and even then there are ways to

get around it that we're not going to remove).



----------------------------------------------------------

Options for MajorMUD Plus (put in wccmmud.ini)



PLUS_PURCHASE_EMAIL_USERID

Valid Values: userid

Default Value: N/A

Description:

If SEND_EMAIL_FOR_PURCHASES is set then this is the

userid who will receive the emails regarding plus

purchases. Note that there is NO default.



SEND_EMAIL_FOR_PURCHASES

Valid Values: 0 (means don't send email)

1 (means only send email)

Default Value: 0

Description:

When set to a non-zero value, MajorMUD Plus will

send email to the sysop (based on the MajorMUD CNF

option '') to record a purchase. The user will NOT

be charged credits, game currency, or days if this

option is set. Typically this is to be used for

sysops running on a DMA server where credits or

account days don't make any sense to use. Note that

you must specify PLUS_PURCHASE_EMAIL_USERID for this

to work.





Here is a sample that gives sys gotos and sys map to everyone:



1) clear your required gameop key:

Security and Accounting > WCCMMUD > GAMEOPKEY= (clear it)



2) for users who you want to have the gameop commands like retrain and such (listed below), give those users the WCCREALGAMEOP key via the remote sysop menu.



3) put this in WCCMMUD.INI:



SYS_LIGHTNING_KEY=SYSOP

SYS_STATUS_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_ADDLIFE_KEY=SYSOP

SYS_RETRAIN_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_ALIGNMENT_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_EDITEVIL_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_SPEAK_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_LISTUSER_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_LISTLIMIT_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_USERINFO_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_JAIL_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_CHANGE_KEY=SYSOP

SYS_BUFFERS_KEY=SYSOP

SYS_CLEARSUICIDE_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_REPORT_KEY=WCCREALGAMEOP

SYS_TOPTEN_KEY=SYSOP

SYS_DISBAND_KEY=SYSOP

SYS_RESET_ROOMS=SYSOP

SYS_DISABLE_GANGS=SYSOP

EXP_IN_TOPGANG=1

does it really need to be stickied? i mean you copied and pasted out of the .rln file for god's sake



i should sticky 20 posts for the useful info i can find from the .rln files



here's an idea: make 1 sticky saying this: "read the .rln file"

well after being asked this question like 20 times I decided to make a post somewhere so people could easy find out. i get a very good sense of what information is frequently needed.



and no crap i copied it from the .rln. i said, "this is taken directly from WCCMMUD.RLN, most people just overlook it." and i KNOW people overlook it because i get asked all the time.



:boring:

[Reckless]

don't listen to Ray, syn. He's a tool ;)

[Raybdbomb]

syntax, ever heard of the term "RTFM"? try and use it... make us proud big boy

[Rust In Peace]

Yeah Ray, stfu. Let syntax do his thing.

[Hobo_Bill]

Ray's just jealous..

[Raybdbomb]

don't make me copy and paste out of the .rln files to make you jealous too hobo

Thanks very much for the help Syntax ;) .. I'll make a point of searching through the forums before I bother you again... :P
