| So you decided to buy a Graalonline playerworld?

|
| |
|
| Welcome to the world of playerworld management. This document will run you through the basics, and vital points to consider now that you have brought a Graalonline playerworld. As it stands right now, all upcoming playerworlds have to pay. However, the previously online playerworlds receive 6months online time. Use the contents table to navigate your way through the document:
| | Viper's Graal Issues. |
|
| |
|
| =Basics=
| | Hello everyone, as of late, many people have been attacking me on the issues and matters, trying to lie about things, bend the truth, and downright spin to make me and others of my cause look bad, in this text document i will discuss and lay to rest the issues that matter. |
| ==Logging on your playerworld:==
| |
| By now you should have received an e-mail to say that your application for a Graalonline playerworld has been accepted and it should contain information about which playerworld number you have been granted access to, along with a username and password. For now your playerworld will remain with the name it currently has. There are two ways to get access to your playerworld:
| |
|
| |
|
| RC (Remote Control): Used by staff to perform certain actions [Click connect on your Playerworld, make sure you double click it, or you may attempt to connect to the wrong one]
| | I have been involved graal for over three years now, and i used to really like Graal and its admins alot, then slowly after about a year Graal and its admins went in a bad downward spiral, i still stuck with graal in hopes graal would pull itself out of this hole and unixmad would go back to the right path, this however did not happen, instead unixmad and even stefan went fouler and lower than i could have imageined, First with fireing Pachuka and Fuitad, two of the BEST graal admins ever in my view for no other reason than disagreeing with his future plans, then if just fireing them was not bad enough, he threatend to sue them and kill they're families, this was so wrong and bad Fuitad even said he would punch unixmad in the face for saying that if he met him in real life, but that was just the beginning of the downward spiral unixmad foolishly invoked onto graal, he then blatantly STOLE a domain name graal.net from Owl Shimy which costed over 30$ US Dollars, and never gave it back to him and never paid him for the cost of the domain, he also threatend to sue Owl Shimy and kill his family although it was Unixmad which stole the domain from Owl Shimy, then around Graal1.3.1 he blocked off Gservers officially and threatend to sue anyone that ran the former Gservers, although they were released as "Freeware" and actually used to encourage people to use the Gservers, this was a blatant attempt to monopolise , threaten, and intemidate that players that actually helped graal and supported him, he then made claims he copyrighted "Graal" and would contact so called "Lawres" about anyone that used the name "Graal" or had "Graal Files" on there websites, although graal was distributed as "Freeware" or "Shareware" and had no official software copyrights related to it, and that the name "Graal" was actually the name of a holy sacred golden cup used in some religion, and in that he has commited blasphemy against whatever religion has the so called "Holy Graal", then later on Unixmad fired SuperNick, because of his country and his origion and called him an American Asian slut, this was the first sign of racism on the part of Unixmad, towards Graal1.4.1 Unixmad was secretly unwrapping his sadistic plans, he then started claiming credit and claiming to own the copyrights to graal, although unixmad has done nothing but host some stupid weak as servers, and yet Stefan Knorr has done all the real work for Graal, and was the one to make ZeldaOnline , GraalOnline in the first place and has written every bit of codeing for the Graal Client , Gserver, RC, ect, yet unixmad the worthless pile of trash that he is steals all credit for Graal, then in February 2001, Unixmad and Antago release Graal2001 and the start of the "Pay to Play" system, now i have no problem with the fact that it is pay to play, the issue is when you PAY for something you actually expect to get the worth while of your money in this product, but instead they got a shittily made level generated land that was 99% empty, the NPCs were and are laggy as hell, and there were no quests, and there is only two shitty things today for hearts that suck so much i refuse to even call them quests, and to add to that about 40% of everyone that paid and gave unixmad there credit card number NEVER got the accounts they paid 27$ or more for, and those that did clearly got chumped out by a cheap peice of crap that aint worth paying for, it sucked so badly that most people played on Graal Classic still, even those that foolishly paid for pay to play accounts, and in an attempt to "FORCE" people to pay for a shitty product they do not want against they're will Unixmad hired "Tyhm" to deface and ruin GraalClassic in an attempt to make it buggier and less fun than even Graal2001, about this time i was disgusted with unixmad and most of the other admins and decided to downright turn against Graal and for the most part stop playing the peice of crap in general. People starting getting angry, complaining, asking for help, and asking for refunds, of coarse unixmad gave noone a cash refund, and simply deleted and banned "PAID ACCOUNTS" of those who complained, asked for help, or asked for a refund these are PAYING CUSTOMERS, they have the rights of basic service that they PAID for, unixmad promises pay to play players a quality product and customer service, but instead gives them a grade F product and ripps off his customers and delete they're accounts that they PAID HIM money for, his excuse? Credit card fraud, when infact at least 90% of the people he bans for credit card fraud pay legitamately with there OWN credit cards or pay via paypal by check, and yet Unixmad has stolen and used others credit card numbers to buy things for himself on several occassions, he also claims he needs pay to play money to keep graal alive and running, yet there has been evidence that he makes at least 90% profit out of the monies he gets, and that he uses illegal porn ad banners and illegal cookie style web tracking and giveing email adresses of the players and even phone numbers of every player to spam and telemarketting companies without there permission, he even keeps personal player info, includeing email, adress, and phone number on unsecure servers which have already been leaked out, such info about people should not be on a public webserver accessable to the internet in anyway, then after all that Unixmad starts banning african american people, asians, koreans, and or people with images of people of that race from the Graal2001 forums and graal itself, yet again they are paying customers and this is another sickening act of racism on the part of Unixmad and GraalOnline, and then even more disgusting is what Stefan posts on the Graal2001 forums, he makes several anti american, racist, pro terrorist, pro nazi, and pro taliban comments on that post and goes on and on several pages bashing americans, this post was offense, obcene, and disgusting to many people includeing myself . If all that does not make you sick to your stomache or dislike unixmad yet, i am far from done, then Unixmad proceeds to illegally DDOS webservers of mafukie and make threats to him over the phone, and has phone assaulted me over 40 times a day between midnight and 5am, and has made threats to sue dozens of people, kill there families, and shut down innocent websites and servers, while hosting illegal stuff and doing illegal things himself with the use of his own wanadoo.fr servers, stuff which includes child porn, bestiality porn, DVD Piracy, DDOS Attacks, theft of copyrighted materials from gameing companies such as nintendo, Credit Card fraud, theft, spamming, phone harrassment, useage of illegal pirated corperate softwares, all this just to start the list of what Unixmad, Stefan, and they're servers are doing 24/7 for nearly 4 years now , anyone that likes unixmad or thinks he is a good person even after all this is clearly a fool, everything in this document is the truth and why i hate unixmad so much, if you like unixmad after all these sickening things he does, then you are no better than a KKK or Neo Nazi member and should go kill yourselfs, i do not tolerate facists, racists, or nazis, they are all bad people, and unixmad is one of the worst of the worst, and no person with any morales could tolerate or support such a person like Stephane Portha or Stefan Knorr. The people that spin, lie and bend the truth in support of unixmad will always exist, but i will always reveal the truth about unixmad, and EVERYTHING said in this document is true, despite what any assclowns try and say about this, and this supriseingly enough is only 1% of the bad things Unixmad has done, how some people even tolerate, none the less support such a bad person is beyond me... I fight against bad people like unixmad, why? Because unlike many others in this world i actually care about other people, and i will do everything in my power to stop unixmad from hurting graal or its innocent players, many say i want to destroy and kill graal, this is NOT true, i used to love graal, i only wish to stop unixmad's evil sadistic illegal actions and restore graal to the great game it used to be when it was "for the players, by the players" , but if i have to destroy GraalOnline in exchange to stop unixmad's tyranny, it will be regreteable, but sometimes some sacrifices have to be made for the greater good, lets just hope that unixmad drops dead and that sacrifice never has to be made... I love graal and lots of its players, and i wish to someday restore it to the grandness it once had, but bad people like unixmad must be gotten rid of if that is to be achieved...''' |

| Graal Client: The Game Program [Under the classic tab, type your playerworld name into the drop-down menu and press connect, e.g: playerworld99] | |
| | |
| Each of these are downloadable off the Graalonline.com download page. To get to this, go to:
| |
| http://www.graalonline.com/downloads/index.php
| |
| Once the page has loaded, put your mouse over 'About Graal' and then over 'Download Game Client'.
| |
| | |
| ==Admin-Playerworld## Account==
| |
| This account is given to the purchaser of the matching playerworld number (Playerworld##). The purpose of this account is so that you may log onto your playerworld and get started, without having to wait for someone to setup your rights.
| |
| | |
| As we do not know you, there is not an IP range set on this account. An IP range makes it so that someone with the same IP/IP Range (Internet Protocol - Your computers online ID) can log on, while people without it can not. For this reason you should NOT share, nor give out this account password to anyone else.
| |
| See Section 5.1 about how to find an IP Range!
| |
| | |
| When you first log onto your playerworld; it's best to transfer the rights to your normal account. To do this type: /openrights youraccountname in the RC text field.
| |
| | |
| You will then be presented with an 'Edit Rights' window. Here you will see your account name, a space for an IP/IP Range and various tick boxes. Because you are the manager/payer the chances are you will need a level four RC (The maximum available to you). To do this, either check all of the boxes, or click the '4' in the bottom right. To save the changes click Apply.
| |
| DO NOT do this if you are not ready to add an IP/IP Range to your account as this is a security risk, and could cause a problem later on. Once you have got an IP/IP Range set on your account, you may add the rights.
| |
| | |
| Please Note: Only Gold & VIP accounts can log on RC on a paid playerworld, if you have not got a Gold/VIP account you can use the Admin account until you wish to upgrade your normal account.
| |
| | |
| At this point you no longer need to have the Admin-Playerworld## account, unless you are using it as you do not have a VIP/Gold account. So if you no longer need it, you can say:
| |
| /openrights Admin-Playerworld## (Where ## = Playerworld Number)
| |
| Uncheck all boxes, and then in the IP Range put: 0.0.0.0 (This stops people logging on)
| |
| | |
| ==Adding Other People==
| |
| Making a playerworld takes time, and man-hours. Because of this, it's best to form a staff team, with good working people who you can trust and know well. Staff may need RC to help aid them with their job. RC should not be given to every staff member, and rights should be given to people who need them only. Nobody but the manager; should not have a high amount of rights.
| |
| | |
| To give someone access to your playerworld via RC you first need to tell the server that they are allowed to log on via RC. This is done via a serveroption which is read by the server, and is used to load and keep certain settings.
| |
| | |
| Here's how to add an account:
| |
| # Click the Icon in the RC window on the right with a picture of the world and a spanner.
| |
| # Now the serveroptions have loaded. Look for the on that says: staff=
| |
| # In here you can add the accounts to be allowed on RC
| |
| # They are separate via a ',' like this: account1,account2,account3,account4,
| |
| # After adding an account into the staff line, click 'Send' to update the serveroptions
| |
| # Finally you need to add an IP Range and Rights using: /openrights accountname
| |
| | |
| The three things important when adding an account are:
| |
| # Adding to staff= serveroption
| |
| # Setting an IP/IP Range
| |
| # Giving the correct amount of rights, keep them to a minimum for security
| |
| | |
| The account you have setup is now also ready to be used. The account can log on RC which is downloadable from the Graalonline.com downloads section. Some rights will only work in the graal client, but we will come to that later.
| |
| | |
| ==Security==
| |
| | |
| ===IP Ranges===
| |
| One of the most important security risks with playerworlds today, is no IP Protected Accounts. You should have already protected your account with an IP/IP Range and every account you have made should have IP/IP Ranges. If you stick by this rule it guarantees you a good secure playerworld. Some playerworlds either forget to add them, or choose not to. If you do not add IP ranges to all RC accounts, then you are at risk of someone logging onto that account, and potentially causing damage.
| |
| See Section 5.1 about how to find an IP Range!
| |
| | |
| When you create an IP/IP Range, make sure that you remember to have a good IP range, and not something like: 64.*.*.*, instead have something like: 64.120.45.*
| |
| The less stars you use, and the more numbers, the more secure the account is.
| |
| | |
| With a recent change in the server you may now use computer ids instead of IP ranges. In the IP Range field put "pc:<computerid>", computerid can be found by using "/openaccess account" while the player is online. This is useful for people who have constantly changing IPs, such as AOL users. For more information see [http://forums.graalonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65482 this thread].
| |
| | |
| ===Account Rights===
| |
| When you setup an account, think about what this account will be used for. If the account will only be used by someone to upload levels, they do not need any higher than a level one RC. Every right available can be used against the server one way or another, which is why each staff member should only have what they need, and nothing else. Be strict with rights, do not give into people begging for them, do not allow your playerworld to be attacked.
| |
| | |
| ===NPC-Control Rights===
| |
| The most common problem after attacks on playerworlds is the NPC Database. Due to its backup restrictions (no quick way to backup) people dont backup NPCs as often, and so, they are often deleted over levels. To protect yourself against this, NPC-Control has access rights as well as levels. With these you can limit what access people have. You will need to add this serveroption to active NPC Rights.
| |
| | |
| To do this, open the serveroptions (far right icon with world and spanner on it) then:
| |
| # Start a new line where you want the serveroption to go
| |
| # Input the following: npcrightsenabled=true (if it's not already there)
| |
| # Then click send to update the settings
| |
| | |
| Now when people access the NPC Server, they need the right to edit or view any NPCs. To edit these, please read section 2.4 to learn about configuration of NPC Control Rights.
| |
| | |
| ===Guest RCs===
| |
| A guest RC is an account allowed onto a playerworld RC, but does not work for the playerworld. Some people allow these people on if they want them to look over something, or help with something else. The best thing is not to have these RCs, as they are a real security risk.
| |
| | |
| If you still wish to have these RCs then please make sure you do the following:
| |
| # Have a very secure IP range: #.#.*.* (#.#.#.* would be better)
| |
| # Do not let them keep rights, remove them after they are finished
| |
| # Remove them from staff= after they are finished
| |
| | |
| You can always re-add them, and their rights. Its best to keep doing this, as you may forget about them and they may come back in the future to cause problems or damage to the playerworld.
| |
| | |
| ==Name Change==
| |
| Currently there is no way to change the playerworld name yourself. Somebody, most likely Stefan, will drop by if there is a playercount on your playerworld and you still have a default name: playerworld##, and ask you what you would like the playerworld to be called.
| |
| | |
| In the future it should be added to your Control-Panel on http://www.graal.net
| |
| | |
| ==Notifying The PWA of the Managers==
| |
| The PWA (Playerworld Administration) is in control of sorting out problems on playerworld, enforcing certain rules and to help you if you have problems. They try to have an updated list of managers and co-managers so that they know who to contact if they have any problems. Please try and e-mail all of your manager information to a PWA member, set out like the following: | |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| Playerworld Name: (PW Number)
| |
| Payer: Nick (Account)
| |
| Manager: Nick (Account)
| |
| Co-Manager: Nick (Account)
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| e.g:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| MyWorld: (99)
| |
| Payer: Payday (Rick_Rich)
| |
| Manager: Ken (Ken2003)
| |
| Manager: SoulChild (SC_UK)
| |
| Co-Manager: Mou (MouKay)
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| ''Please Note: You do not need to do this until your playerworld has had a name change.''
| |
| | |
| =Configuration=
| |
| ==Ways to configure your playerworld==
| |
| Configuration of a playerworld makes your playerworld more practical for you, and easier to use. The most common configuration methods are:
| |
| | |
| * Serveroptions
| |
| * Folder configuration
| |
| | |
| ==Server options==
| |
| Serveroptions are just that, options, which the server reads to output certain features, functions and settings. When you log onto your playerworld, some of the following serveroptions should already be in your serveroptions:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| #Gameplayoptions
| |
| startlevel=
| |
| startx=
| |
| starty=
| |
| unstickmelevel=
| |
| unstickmex=
| |
| unstickmey=
| |
| staffguilds=
| |
| heartlimit=
| |
| swordlimit=
| |
| putnpcenabled=
| |
| setbodyallowed=
| |
| jaillevels=
| |
| bushitems=
| |
| baddyitems=
| |
| healswords=
| |
| #bigmap=
| |
| #minimap=
| |
| aptime0=75
| |
| aptime1=150
| |
| aptime2=300
| |
| aptime3=600
| |
| aptime4=1200
| |
| aptime5=2400
| |
| staff=
| |
| playerlisticons=Online,Away,DND
| |
| npcrights=true
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Each one of these can be altered, changed and removed. It's best to keep most of these as they are the basic default server options to tell the server where new players should start etc. See [[Server options]] for a full list of them.
| |
| | |
| ==Folder Configuration==
| |
| The folder configuration can be found in the RC window. It is the top right button, with a picture of two folders on it. This is used so that the server knows where to find certain things, such as: Heads, Swords and Shields. The default folder configuration when you log on will be something like this:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| body bodies/*.png
| |
| head heads/*
| |
| sword swords/*
| |
| shield shields/*
| |
| level *.graal
| |
| level *.nw
| |
| level *.gmap
| |
| file *.png
| |
| file *.mng
| |
| file *.gif
| |
| file *.gani
| |
| file *.wav
| |
| file *.txt
| |
| file *.gmap
| |
| file images/*.png
| |
| file images/*.gif
| |
| file images/*.mng
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| If you want to add a folder you put the following on a new line in folder configuration:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| type location/allowed_filetypes
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| If you want a folder for heads, then you would do something like:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| head staffheads/*.png
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| This would allow .png images to be read as heads from the location:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| levels/staffheads
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| When you add a folder, the 'levels' is a default thing.
| |
| So you do not do the following
| |
| <pre>
| |
| head levels/staffheads/*.png
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Instead you just put:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| head staffheads/*.png
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Folder configuration should be used at all times when you want a new folder. The idea of this is so that you can limit the file-types that can be put into it, and it is read correctly by the server, so that it knows where the heads are, and which folders contain levels for example.
| |
| | |
| ===Access to the folders===
| |
| To upload into this folder, you need to give yourself or the other staff member's access to it. To do this, say: '''/openrights accountname''' in the RC text field at the bottom.
| |
| | |
| Once the edit rights window appears, the box below the checkboxes can be used to input which folders you want this person to have access to. There are two main rights for each folder:
| |
| | |
| R (Read-Only)
| |
| RW (Read and Write)
| |
| | |
| For an example, the default levels folder is: '''/levels/'''
| |
| To give someone full access to this folder, you would put: '''rw levels/*'''
| |
| | |
| However, RW is a security risk, as it allows people to delete all of the contents. Some servers may wish to setup a folder, where staff can upload levels into, and someone else can transfer them into the main folder. To do this they would need rw to the upload folder, and r to the main folder, so they could download all of the files, but not edit or delete them.
| |
| | |
| Please also note that if you want access to the following two folders:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| /levels/folder1/
| |
| /levels/folder1/
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Then this will not give you access to it: /levels/*
| |
| The star is the file type your allowed to see, a star means all, but it could be *.png
| |
| So you would need:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| rw levels/folder1/*
| |
| rw levels/folder2/*
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| ===Folders outside of levels/===
| |
| If you want to create a folder that does not begin with levels/ then you do not need to use folder configuration, you can just give the rights to the person, such as:
| |
| <pre>rw newfolder/</pre>
| |
| | |
| which makes:
| |
| <pre>newfolder/</pre>
| |
| | |
| Please note that files in these folders are not available to game clients. Levels, GFX, GANIs, etc for the playerworld should be in the levels/ folder.
| |
| | |
| ==NPC Control Rights==
| |
| The NPC Control rights work exactly the same as folder rights. It may be a good idea to read 2.3.1 if you are still unsure after reading this. Because NPC Server is such a big part of RC, there are three types of rights: Weapons, Classes and NPCs.
| |
| | |
| To give someone access to everything, you have to grant them access to view and edit everything and give them the NPC Control right. To do this say in RC: /openrights accountname or go through the top left icon in RC into the player list, and then right click an account and click Edit Rights.
| |
| | |
| The NPC Control checkbox is at the top. And the NPC Control Rights are put into the window below called Folder Rights.
| |
| | |
| To give them access to everything put in:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| rw WEAPONS/* (Weapons - Icon with sword)
| |
| rw CLASSES/* (Classes)
| |
| rw NPCS/* (database NPCs)
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| If you want to restrict access, to lets say only NPCs beginning with their name, you could put:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| rw WEAPONS/staffname/*
| |
| rw CLASSES/staffname/*
| |
| rw NPCS/staffname/*
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| If you want them to access more than one type of NPC starting name you can put:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| rw WEAPONS/staffname/*
| |
| rw WEAPONS/system/*
| |
| rw WEAPONS/player/*
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| This will work fine. And don't forget that these rights work in the same way as folder rights, so you do not always need to put '''rw''', you can just put '''r'''.
| |
| | |
| =Graal.net Control Panel=
| |
| This is the central point for your playerworld. Here you can control certain things, and view stats on your playerworld, to help you manage your playerworld with ease.
| |
| | |
| ==Getting to your control panel==
| |
| In the same e-mail you had the username and password for your account, you can log into the control panel with it. First of all the URL given to you should be put into your web browser. When you have loaded this page you will be asked for the username and password, once you have put this in, you are into your control panel.
| |
| | |
| ==What you can do with your control panel==
| |
| Once inside you will see stats on the NPC Server and the G-Server (graal server). You can click either of these words and be taken to a page where you can perform certain actions such as: Stop, Start, Restart the NPC Server or G-Server. You will also see stats such as how much CPU and memory you are using.
| |
| | |
| =Guides=
| |
| ===Getting RC===
| |
| * To get RC go to the following URL: http://www.graalonline.com/downloads/index.php
| |
| * Click on the setup you want (Windows, Linux, Mac OSX)
| |
| * After setting up the location of the download you are asked to choose a mirror
| |
| * Choose Graalonline.com
| |
| * Then when you have a list of available parts to download, make sure the developer does not say skip and instead is a version number, e.g: 1.0.0-7
| |
| * Click Next and it should start downloading
| |
| | |
| ===RC Icons===
| |
| Please look at the document 'The Insides of Remote Control' for information on how to use Remote Control (RC) and what each icon does.
| |
| | |
| ===RC Rights===
| |
| What can I use?
| |
| Depending on what rights you have, and what your job is, you may only use a few icons, as they will not be useful to your job. Each Icon has been put there for your use, and the best way to find out what they are, is to have a go.
| |
| | |
| The best way to find out what you can and can not do it to say the following in the RC text field at the bottom:
| |
| | |
| /openrights myaccountname (e.g: /openrights mark_45)
| |
| | |
| Depending on what rights you have, you may or may not be able to change them. To change them you will need either: Change Rights or Edit Folder Rights
| |
| | |
| Every right Explained? [Back to top]

| | |
| Anyway, when the Edit Rights window opens, look what you have got (checked) and then look below to see what it is, and how it works:

| | |
| * Warpto x y: When in the Graal Client in a level, say: warpto x y (where x+ y use number positions to warpto) e.g: warpto 10 30 = Warps player to x=10, y=30, of same level
| |
| * Warpto player: When in the Graal client, say: warpto accountname = warpto that person
| |
| * Warp Players: When in RC click the top left button, right click a player, click warp, enter the level name and the X and Y position for the player to be warped to.
| |
| * Update Level: When in Graal Client, say: update level - Updates to original settings - e.g: Removal of things that are not in the level normally such as money, baddies, dbnpcs.
| |
| * Disconnect Players: When in RC click the top left button, right click a player, click disconnect the players connection to the playerworld will be terminated, useful after banning someone, or if they need to reconnect for a change to be made.
| |
| * View Player attributes: When you either say /open accoutname in RC or right click and account from the top left button and go to edit attributes you can see information about this account, such as their colours, flags, open chests, weapons, IP address etc..
| |
| * Set Player Attributes: This allows you to edit/alter player attributes, after opening them, to open them, see above.
| |
| * Set own Attributes: This allows you to open and edit the attributes of your own account using the top left button and the player list, or saying /open myaccountname in RC.
| |
| * Reset Attributes: This clears all of the attributes, and will take away everything so that this account is like when it first logged on. To use this either go through the top left button in RC, onto player list and then right click account and finally click Reset.
| |
| Or simply say in RC: /reset accountname
| |
| * Admin Message: This is a little popup in the graal client, which people must press enter on to clear it. Its often a good way to send very important messages, but can be annoying. To use this, go to the top left icon in RC, into the player list. Then you can either send it to just one person by right clicking the account and going to Admin Message or click the Admin Message to All button at the bottom of the player list window.
| |
| * Set Server Flags: This allows you to edit or add .server scripting flags into the icon with the Flag and the World. This is useful if you have a NPC which is trying to read the server flag and you need to create one yourself first of all.
| |
| * Change Rights: This allows you to change rights of peoples accounts if you have that right too. To do this either say in RC /openrights accountname and save it by clicking Apply. Or use the top left button, and right click and account in the player list and then click Edit Rights.
| |
| * Ban Players: This stops a user logging on. If they have gone against rules or you think their actions need a punishment of a ban you can either say in RC, /openban accountname. Or right click them in the player list using the top left Icon. When you use this window, to ban them you must check the Banned check box. And in the Ban Reason you must put why they are banned, and who they are banned by. Its also a good idea to add it to their comments, for this see the right below.
| |
| * Change Comments: This is used to add comments to an account. It's useful if you wish to log certain jailing, or how often this person does something. Most people use it to add the ban reason too, so everybody with RC and the right can see why that person is banned.
| |
| * Change Staff Accounts: This is used when you want to alter your Admin-Playerworld## account. You can change certain things in here. One of those things is the password. If you do change your password, then please choose a random one such as: Ghu9n42 and not something simple like playerworldname or graal. To do this either use the top left icon and on the player list right click an account and click Edit Account or say: /openacc accountname in RC.
| |
| * Change Server Options: This allows you to change the serveroptions. To do this you click the icon with the world and the spanner on it, you can alter, remove and add server options to change certain settings.
| |
| * Edit Folder Configuration: This allows you to change the folder configuration; information about this was in part 2.3. To change the folder configuration look over that section, and to access it click the top right icon in RC.
| |
| * Edit Folder Rights: This is to change the access rights people have to folders. This is the bottom box in the Edit Rights window. You can alter folder rights for someone by using the top left icon, going into the player list and right clicking and then click Edi Rights, or just say in the RC text field: /openrights accountname. More Information is in 2.3.1
| |
| * NPC-Control: This right allows you access to the thirteen icons instead of just eight. If you have this you have a lot more access to other things. You may need NPC Server rights to perform certain actions. More information can be found in 3.1.1
| |
| | |
| ===RC Shortcuts===

| | |
| ==How to use the file manager==
| |
| This guide will teach you how to use the file manager. Most people will use file manager if they are staff on a playerworld at least once, so its important that everybody knows what it is, and how to use it.
| |
| | |
| ===What is file manager===
| |
| File manager is the built in section within RC which acts as a FTP Client. It is used to send files from the client to the server, and vice versa. This can be found using the top left icon, the one with the two folders on it.
| |
| | |
| ===How to create folders within the file manager===
| |
| This was explained before in the document. To create folders you use folder configuration to tell the server where the folder is, and what its used for. If you cant remember, or didn't read it, please look at section 2.3 and section 2.3.1.
| |
| | |
| ===How to access the folders in file manager===
| |
| To access a folder, you need the rights to do so. This is inputted into the Edit Rights window. Either use the player list and right click the player then click Edit Rights or say in RC: /openrights accoutname. The bottom window is where the rights go; please note you will need Edit Folder Rights to edit anything in the bottom window.
| |
| | |
| There are two main rights for each playerworld:
| |
| | |
| R (Read-Only)
| |
| RW (Read and Write)
| |
| | |
| For an example, the default levels folder is: /levels/
| |
| To give someone full access to this folder, you would put: rw levels/*
| |
| | |
| However, RW is a security risk, as it allows people to delete all of the contents. Some server may wish to setup a folder, where staff can upload levels into, and someone else can transfer them into the main folder. To do this they would need rw to the upload folder, and r to the main folder, so they could download all of the files, but not edit or delete them.
| |
| | |
| So if your folder is: /levels/upload/
| |
| The folder configuration will be: level upload/* (Where star is, put available file types e.g: *.png)
| |
| While the rights for access to it will be: rw levels/upload/* (Could be just r)
| |
| | |
| ===How to upload files into the file manager===
| |
| To upload files into a folder you have rights and access to, you first need to find the files. Lets say the files are in: /graal2001/my_uploads
| |
| | |
| 1)First of all go to this folder in a new window (/graal2001/my_uploads)
| |
| 2)Second highlight the files you wish to upload
| |
| 3)Then go back to RC, Click on the file manager Icon
| |
| 4)You then go back to the folder where the files are and drag the files into the file managers' right window.
| |
| | |
| There are many ways to do this, you can drag the files down to the open windows bar, and then into file manager. You can alternate through the open windows (Alt+Tab for Windows) and then into the file manager. Or you can make is so both windows are visible, by re-sizing them. Sometimes it is a good idea if you drag the file manager away from the RC, as sometimes the RC goes over the top of the File Manager, and you cant drag the files in.
| |
|
| |
| ===How to download files from the file manager===
| |
| Downloading is basically as easy as uploading. Once you have the file you want to download, go to it in file manager, and then simply drag it out of file manager to a folder to the desktop. Another way is to right click and click Edit and then you can save it somewhere when it opens.
| |
|
| |
| ===How to delete files from the file manager===
| |
| Sometimes you may have to delete the file before you can upload; this is sometimes a problem that rarely occurs. Or maybe you just want to delete the file. Once you have made sure you do not need the file, or have got a backup in case you need it again, simple right click the file in file manager, and then click delete.
| |
| | |
| ===Sub-Folders===
| |
| Sub folders are easy to create and easy to access. Here is an example of a few sub folders:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| /levels/staff/
| |
| /levels/staff/staffmember1/
| |
| /levels/staff/staffmember2/
| |
| /levels/staff/staffmember3/
| |
| /levels/staff/staffmember4/
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| It is exactly the same as creating a normal folder. But for the folders above, you would put the following into folder configuration:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| level staff/staffmember4/*
| |
| </pre>
| |
| ''Where the star is, put available file types e.g: *.png''
| |
| | |
| And in Folder Rights you would put:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| rw levels/staff/staffmember4/*
| |
| </pre>
| |
| ''Where star is, put available file types e.g: *.png''
| |
| | |
| And to navigate through sub-folders you will see either a + or a - sign. The + sign means that there are sub-folder within this folder, and you can click it to expand them. And the - sign means you can see the sub folders, and you can press it to hide them.
| |
| | |
| ==How to make guilds==
| |
| Guilds are very easy and simple to make. First of all the guilds should be placed in the correct folder. This has changed recently, the new folder is: /levels/guilds/
| |
| | |
| ===Making filename===
| |
| To make a guild you use something such as notepad, to save as a .txt file. You then have to call it what you want to call it, like this: guild<guildname>.txt (e.g: guildGP.txt)
| |
| | |
| ===Inside File===
| |
| Inside you need to use the following format for everyone who you want to have the guild tag:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| account:nickname
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| So lets say someone with the account bob and the nickname ralf needs a tag (GP) you would make the following:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| Filename: guildGP.txt
| |
| Inside: bob:ralf
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Which gives us: ralf (GP) ''(for account bob)''
| |
| | |
| ===More accounts inside===
| |
| If you want more people inside, you simply just put them on a new line inside:
| |
| account:nickname
| |
| account:nickname
| |
| account:nickname
| |
| account:nickname
| |
| account:nickname
| |
| | |
| ===Making it a staff guild===
| |
| If you want this guild to be a staff guild, simply put the tag name into the staffguilds=serveroption like this:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| staffguilds=GP,FAQ,Manager,LAT
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| =Frequently Asked Questions=
| |
| | |
| ==How to find an IP/IP Range==
| |
| First of all you need to know the difference. An IP is a number with 4 parts, while an IP Range is a number with open parts where different numbers can go, and open have more than one set of IPs in them.
| |
| | |
| ===Finding your IP===
| |
| First of all you need to find out your IP, to do this go to a website such as:
| |
| http://whatismyip.com/
| |
| | |
| For dial-up users your IP endings will change, but the start may stay the same. You will then need to vist this site a few times to write down your IPs. Always on connections can just put in the IP, and alter it later, as it should stay like this for a long enough period of time. Dial-Up users will need to write down about 15-20IPs.
| |
|
| |
| ===Sorting my IPs===
| |
| Lets say you have the following IPs
| |
| <pre>
| |
| 64.124.42.44
| |
| 64.124.88.52
| |
| 64.74.963.25
| |
| 64.123.67.32
| |
| 78.225.96.34
| |
| 78.125.46.34
| |
| 78.62.45.32
| |
| 64.124.85.32
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| The first thing to do is put them in numerical order, so 64.*.*.* > 78.*.*.*
| |
| | |
| Once you have put them in order, you need to look at what changes and what doesn't. In this case it's the first and some of the second parts of the IP address.
| |
| | |
| Which means this IP range for someone with those IPs would be:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| 64.124.*.*
| |
| 64.74.*.*
| |
| 64.123.*.*
| |
| 78.642.*.*
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| And in order they are separated via a comma to produce the following: 64.124.*.*,64.74.*.*,64.123.*.*,78.642.*.*
| |
| | |
| Now many people will just do the following: 64.*.*.* (if the other numbers seem to change a lot) Ideally if you can have a tighter IP range such as: 64.124.*.* then it will be more secure.
| |
| | |
| Ideally you should take IPs over 2-3days so that it is a greater IP range.
| |
| | |
| '''Remember: You can always edit or change the IP range, but you can't always get back the Levels and NPCs deleted by an intruder.'''

Viper's Graal Issues.
Hello everyone, as of late, many people have been attacking me on the issues and matters, trying to lie about things, bend the truth, and downright spin to make me and others of my cause look bad, in this text document i will discuss and lay to rest the issues that matter.
I have been involved graal for over three years now, and i used to really like Graal and its admins alot, then slowly after about a year Graal and its admins went in a bad downward spiral, i still stuck with graal in hopes graal would pull itself out of this hole and unixmad would go back to the right path, this however did not happen, instead unixmad and even stefan went fouler and lower than i could have imageined, First with fireing Pachuka and Fuitad, two of the BEST graal admins ever in my view for no other reason than disagreeing with his future plans, then if just fireing them was not bad enough, he threatend to sue them and kill they're families, this was so wrong and bad Fuitad even said he would punch unixmad in the face for saying that if he met him in real life, but that was just the beginning of the downward spiral unixmad foolishly invoked onto graal, he then blatantly STOLE a domain name graal.net from Owl Shimy which costed over 30$ US Dollars, and never gave it back to him and never paid him for the cost of the domain, he also threatend to sue Owl Shimy and kill his family although it was Unixmad which stole the domain from Owl Shimy, then around Graal1.3.1 he blocked off Gservers officially and threatend to sue anyone that ran the former Gservers, although they were released as "Freeware" and actually used to encourage people to use the Gservers, this was a blatant attempt to monopolise , threaten, and intemidate that players that actually helped graal and supported him, he then made claims he copyrighted "Graal" and would contact so called "Lawres" about anyone that used the name "Graal" or had "Graal Files" on there websites, although graal was distributed as "Freeware" or "Shareware" and had no official software copyrights related to it, and that the name "Graal" was actually the name of a holy sacred golden cup used in some religion, and in that he has commited blasphemy against whatever religion has the so called "Holy Graal", then later on Unixmad fired SuperNick, because of his country and his origion and called him an American Asian slut, this was the first sign of racism on the part of Unixmad, towards Graal1.4.1 Unixmad was secretly unwrapping his sadistic plans, he then started claiming credit and claiming to own the copyrights to graal, although unixmad has done nothing but host some stupid weak as servers, and yet Stefan Knorr has done all the real work for Graal, and was the one to make ZeldaOnline , GraalOnline in the first place and has written every bit of codeing for the Graal Client , Gserver, RC, ect, yet unixmad the worthless pile of trash that he is steals all credit for Graal, then in February 2001, Unixmad and Antago release Graal2001 and the start of the "Pay to Play" system, now i have no problem with the fact that it is pay to play, the issue is when you PAY for something you actually expect to get the worth while of your money in this product, but instead they got a shittily made level generated land that was 99% empty, the NPCs were and are laggy as hell, and there were no quests, and there is only two shitty things today for hearts that suck so much i refuse to even call them quests, and to add to that about 40% of everyone that paid and gave unixmad there credit card number NEVER got the accounts they paid 27$ or more for, and those that did clearly got chumped out by a cheap peice of crap that aint worth paying for, it sucked so badly that most people played on Graal Classic still, even those that foolishly paid for pay to play accounts, and in an attempt to "FORCE" people to pay for a shitty product they do not want against they're will Unixmad hired "Tyhm" to deface and ruin GraalClassic in an attempt to make it buggier and less fun than even Graal2001, about this time i was disgusted with unixmad and most of the other admins and decided to downright turn against Graal and for the most part stop playing the peice of crap in general. People starting getting angry, complaining, asking for help, and asking for refunds, of coarse unixmad gave noone a cash refund, and simply deleted and banned "PAID ACCOUNTS" of those who complained, asked for help, or asked for a refund these are PAYING CUSTOMERS, they have the rights of basic service that they PAID for, unixmad promises pay to play players a quality product and customer service, but instead gives them a grade F product and ripps off his customers and delete they're accounts that they PAID HIM money for, his excuse? Credit card fraud, when infact at least 90% of the people he bans for credit card fraud pay legitamately with there OWN credit cards or pay via paypal by check, and yet Unixmad has stolen and used others credit card numbers to buy things for himself on several occassions, he also claims he needs pay to play money to keep graal alive and running, yet there has been evidence that he makes at least 90% profit out of the monies he gets, and that he uses illegal porn ad banners and illegal cookie style web tracking and giveing email adresses of the players and even phone numbers of every player to spam and telemarketting companies without there permission, he even keeps personal player info, includeing email, adress, and phone number on unsecure servers which have already been leaked out, such info about people should not be on a public webserver accessable to the internet in anyway, then after all that Unixmad starts banning african american people, asians, koreans, and or people with images of people of that race from the Graal2001 forums and graal itself, yet again they are paying customers and this is another sickening act of racism on the part of Unixmad and GraalOnline, and then even more disgusting is what Stefan posts on the Graal2001 forums, he makes several anti american, racist, pro terrorist, pro nazi, and pro taliban comments on that post and goes on and on several pages bashing americans, this post was offense, obcene, and disgusting to many people includeing myself . If all that does not make you sick to your stomache or dislike unixmad yet, i am far from done, then Unixmad proceeds to illegally DDOS webservers of mafukie and make threats to him over the phone, and has phone assaulted me over 40 times a day between midnight and 5am, and has made threats to sue dozens of people, kill there families, and shut down innocent websites and servers, while hosting illegal stuff and doing illegal things himself with the use of his own wanadoo.fr servers, stuff which includes child porn, bestiality porn, DVD Piracy, DDOS Attacks, theft of copyrighted materials from gameing companies such as nintendo, Credit Card fraud, theft, spamming, phone harrassment, useage of illegal pirated corperate softwares, all this just to start the list of what Unixmad, Stefan, and they're servers are doing 24/7 for nearly 4 years now , anyone that likes unixmad or thinks he is a good person even after all this is clearly a fool, everything in this document is the truth and why i hate unixmad so much, if you like unixmad after all these sickening things he does, then you are no better than a KKK or Neo Nazi member and should go kill yourselfs, i do not tolerate facists, racists, or nazis, they are all bad people, and unixmad is one of the worst of the worst, and no person with any morales could tolerate or support such a person like Stephane Portha or Stefan Knorr. The people that spin, lie and bend the truth in support of unixmad will always exist, but i will always reveal the truth about unixmad, and EVERYTHING said in this document is true, despite what any assclowns try and say about this, and this supriseingly enough is only 1% of the bad things Unixmad has done, how some people even tolerate, none the less support such a bad person is beyond me... I fight against bad people like unixmad, why? Because unlike many others in this world i actually care about other people, and i will do everything in my power to stop unixmad from hurting graal or its innocent players, many say i want to destroy and kill graal, this is NOT true, i used to love graal, i only wish to stop unixmad's evil sadistic illegal actions and restore graal to the great game it used to be when it was "for the players, by the players" , but if i have to destroy GraalOnline in exchange to stop unixmad's tyranny, it will be regreteable, but sometimes some sacrifices have to be made for the greater good, lets just hope that unixmad drops dead and that sacrifice never has to be made... I love graal and lots of its players, and i wish to someday restore it to the grandness it once had, but bad people like unixmad must be gotten rid of if that is to be achieved...
