Server options

The server options are a collection of key=value configuration options that allow you to customize the non-scriptable behaviour of an individual Playerworld.

Usage

Options are usually set only by high Playerworld staff, preferably only the Playerworld owner, as they are very powerful and can be abused easily.

When you omit an option, its value will not be changed if the option has been used before. Therefore, it is more secure to change only the value and not whole option, should you need to change something.

Lines beginning with # are not parsed, and can be used for comments.

Known Server Options

Please add new options if you discover them.

Start location

 startlevel=level name
 startx=number
 starty=number

This sets the originating location for all Players which do not have location statistics of their own saved locally.

Unstick me location

 unstickmelevel=level name
 unstickmex=number
 unstickmey=number

These define the position that a Player is warped to after using the Unstick me command.

Protected Weapons

 protectedweapons=list of comma seperated weapon names

NPC weapons that cannot be deleted by the Player. This differs from weapons with asterisk prefixed name which cannot be deleted with the Del key, but still can be deleted on the Clientside using the destroy command. `Protected' weapons can (unless *ified) be deleted with Del, but the NPC server will not remove them from the player's weapon list and thus the Serverside part will remain and the player obtains them again on the next connect.

Jail Levels

 jaillevels=level names comma separated

Non-staff players in these levels will not be able to leave them. A Serverside setlevel2 or warping with RC is neccessary. Also, they can send PMs only to RC clients and not regular Clients. , ,

Explosion Restriction

 noexplosions=true/false

Disables the result of putexplosion, and `explosive' NPC weapons.

Statistic Restriction

 setbodyallowed=true/false
 setheadallowed=true/false
 setbomyallowed=true/false
 setswordallowed=true/false
 setshieldallowed=true/false

Whether the chat commands to change the player's appearance are enabled. Defaults to true.

Gralat Loss Options

 mindeathgralats=number
 maxdeathgralats=number

Defines the amount of Gralats that the player drops on death.

Staff Gralat Restriction

 normaladminscanchangegralats=true/false

Whether normal RCs can change the gralat count of a player. `Normal' used to be defined as `below Adminlevel 4', but nowadays is probably regulated by certain high-level Admin rights.

Local 'Staff Guilds'

 staffguilds=comma seperated list of guild names

Matches to these Guild names appear in the `Staff' section of the playerlist (Delphi client only for now)

`Bush' Items

 bushitems=true/false

Selects whether Bushes contain Items. May not work on a GMap.

`Baddy' Items

 baddyitems=true/false

Selects whether baddies drop Items once killed.

`Healing' Swords

 healswords=true/false

Selects whether is possible to have a negative Sword power and thus add Hearts to those hit by the sword.

Non-script timeouts

 respawntime=number
 horselifetime=number
 baddyrespawntime=number

Timeout in seconds for respawn times for Bushes, Horses and Baddies

Server Scripting Flags

 dontaddserverflags=true/false

Selects whether scripts can add new Server flags or only modify existing ones.

Server Maps

 bigmap=maptext,mapimage,defaultx,defaulty
 minimap=maptext,mapimage,defaultx,defaulty

Default serverwide Maps. Syntax resembles setmap and setminimap GScript commands.

Warping (All Players)

 warptoforall=true/false
 warptoforlowadmins=true/false

Whether all Players can use the Warpto command, and whether Global Admin level 1 allows warpto.

Warping Activation

 warpto=false/true
 ignorewarpto=true/false

Allows or disallows the default Warpto command for all staff, including Globals. This is normally enabled.

Note that warpto=false will show a "(warping is disabled)" error message to Player, whereas ignorewarpto=true will treat Warpto commands as just normal chat text and display no error message.

The latter is good for replacing the default Warpto command with a scripted version.

(History fact: Requested by Ibonic and implemented on Sept. 14, 2005.)

Ghost Mode

 ghostmodeenabled=true/false
 ghostmodefornotstaff=true/false

Selects whether all Players appear as Ghost, or only non-staff players, or nobody.

Playerlist Icons

 playerlisticons=comma seperated list of statusses

Possible status list, Players can select one of them in the Players list. There must be a Downloadable file plisticonNAME.png available in a folder specified as `file' in Folder configuration.

Profile Variables

 profilevars=comma seperated list of profile variables

Selects what is to be displayed in a Player's profile. The default variables are: playerkills, playerdeaths, playerfullhearts, playerrating, playerap, playerrupees, playerswordpower, canspin, largely modelled after Old GScript. Custom string variables can be added in the format `name=stringname'. If name is not specified, stringname is used.

Trial Account Limits

 limitfreeplayers2=true/false

Selects whether to disable adding of Bombs, Arrows, and Explosions for Trial accounts.

Starting AP

How much AP Players are given upon first login to this Playerworld.

Global Guilds Activation

 globalguilds=true/false

Allows or disallows Guild from the Global database. This is normally enabled.

 allowedglobalguilds=guild,guild,guild

This option limits what guilds can be used from the Global Guilds database. (Note: globalguilds= needs to be set to false so other guilds besides the allowed can not be used.

AP Timeouts

 aptime0=number
 aptime1=number
 aptime2=number
 aptime3=number
 aptime4=number

Time (in seconds) it takes to recharge one point of AP when the AP is currently below 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 respectively. The defaults are 30, 90, 300, 600 and 1200.

'putnpc' Scripting Command

 putnpcenabled=true/false

Whether the putnpc command is enabled. (Mostly Deprecated)

Translation

 enabletranslations=true/false

Selects whether the Translation system is enabled. (TODO: Move this to the aforelinked article, or gscript articles:) If yes, signs and text in scripts in #U(text goes here) form will be saved in a text file where they can be translated into different languages. The files are to be found in the translations/ folder on RC.

Language Selection

 translatedlanguages=comma seperated list of languages, like Deutsch,...

The languages of which a translation file shall be loaded by the server. (TODO: See above:) If a file exists, signs and #U() text will be replaced with values from this file.

Server Language

 serverlanguage=language name

The default language of the Playerworld. Defaults to English.

NPC-Server 'Sleep'

 sleepwhennoplayers=true/false

Whether the NPC Server must execute scripts even when no Player is around.

Tilesets

 newtilesets=true/false
 newtilesetlevels=comma seperated list of levels

Whether all Levels will use the new Tileset layout, or a match list of levels that shall.

Staff

 staff=comma seperated list of account names

The Accounts in this list will count as Playerworld staff as if their admin level was > 0. Their mass messages override the option to ignore mass messages, their Admin rights will be applied, and if their IP address range matches their actual IP address, they may log in to RC.

GMAP List

 gmaps=comma seperated list of gmap files, without .gmap extension

The server will attempt to load these as GMaps. As this line might get rather crowded, it is possible to have multiple gmaps= lines.

Weapon Order

 weaponorder=comma seperated list of weapon names

Specifies the order in which the NPC weapon scripts will be sent to the client upon connection. This can be used to ensure that the inventory script that disables the Q menu will be sent first, for example. First, all weapons in this list will be sent in order, then all unlisted weapons.

NPC-Control Rights

 npcrights=true/false

Whether NC rights are active. For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to set this to true.

Kill Count

 dontchangekills=true/false

Selects whether the variables 'playerkills' and 'playerdeaths' can be changed serverside via GScript.

NPC-Server Nickname

 nickname=string

The NPC Server will use this as its Nick name, with (Server) appended. Ignores all Guild tags.

Speedhack Tolerance

 speedhacktolerance=number

This gives the percentage of data packages that clients may send above the expected over without being logged as Trainer users. On Graal Kingdoms, the rather conservative setting of 90 is used. If you set this too low, your server will crash.

Idle Disconnect

 disconnectifnotmoved=true/false

Selects whether Idle Players are automatically disconnected. (Possibly deprecated).

Save Levels

 savelevels=true/false

Setting this to true allows changes to the Tiles of Levels to be saved to the actual level files from scripting commands, so it is possible to persistently change the levels. Currently, this does not work with GMaps.

Staff Only

 onlystaff=true/false

Setting this to true allows only staff of the server to log on.

Log script function calls

 scriptlogfunctions=write player.nick,write player.guild,call sendtonc,call sendtorc

This lets the npcserver log script activity into logs/scriptfunctionslog.txt. You can get a list of available functons / actions by typing /listscriptlogfunctions on RC chat. Currently only important or exploitable things can be logged. Keep care to delete the logs from time to time.
