Mani mod questions

[||§§||TheSaint]

Ok guys this is my first server ever and I have just installed mani mod and have a few newbie questions to ask. So you know I am running a 16 player Counter Strike: Source server. First off when I want to add an admin do I just type // STEAM_0:0:21233123 or do I have to have the ip, username and password? Also how do I find my steam id? Next when ever I change a cfg file do I have to restart the server for it to take effect? Oh and I have a question that really doesn't have anything to do with the Mani mod but when I create and html file for the MOD can I just use an image off my comp or does it have to be hosted somewhere or uploaded or what?

K I think that's all for now if I have anymore questions I'll post them in here.

First off when I want to add an admin do I just type // STEAM_0:0:21233123 or do I have to have the ip, username and password?

You add admins to cfg/mani_admin_plugin/adminlist.txt, adding your full steamid with no // in front. If you have // in front, it tells the server to ignore that line. It should look like STEAM_0:X:XXXXXX either at the top or bottom, anywhere in that file is fine. You can have IP or passwords if you wish, the adminlist.txt explains how to do those, but I would recommend just using steamid.

Also how do I find my steam id?

You can find your steamid by going into any server and typing status in the console. You will see your steamid next to your name in the console.

Next when ever I change a cfg file do I have to restart the server for it to take effect?

For cfg files, you need to either exec or change maps depending on which cfg file you modified. You can go rcon exec name.cfg to exec a cfg file, some cvars need a mapchange.

when I create and html file for the MOD can I just use an image off my comp or does it have to be hosted somewhere or uploaded or what?

The image for the motd needs to be hosted on a webserver somewhere, such as the free space we give you. Use the html <img> tag to call the picture and display it in the motd. You can search these forums for the exact coding and some examples.

K well that took care of a lot but I still am having some problems with changing cfg settings. So I'll tell yah what I'm trying to do and exactly how I've tried doing it.

First off is changing the style of ranking on the server. In the file cstrike\cfg\mani_server.cfg I changed the setting mani_stats_calculate 0, 1, or 3 and yet each one I try still gives me Kill/Death ratio. What I did was change the number in the file then save it on my comp then upload it and overwrite the existing file via FTP. Yet it still doesn't work.

The other problem I'm having is getting weapon restrictions to work perminately. I can do it just fine in game but it only last for one map. I also tried it in the file cstrike\cfg\mani_admin_plugin\weapon restrictions by deleting the \\ in front of the weapon but that didn't work either.

here's what it looked like originally and then after

(before)
awp magnum awp //Magnum Sniper Rifle

(after)
awp magnum awp Magnum Sniper Rifle

I appreciate the help and hope that I'm not being an annoying newb lol
k thx

Ok, there should be no cstrike folder in your FTP at all. If there is, then thats the issue. When entering your FTP, you are now in the cstrike directory of your dedicated server.

inside cfg/server.cfg, put exec mani_server.cfg.

Make sure the directories are setup properly, as well as that additional exec line in server.cfg.

Yeah I realize that is the cstrike folder and I'll try that out thx.
