-= Superman Server Administration Functions =-

Introduction: I understand the growing concern about all the hacking, and the lack of effectiveness of the REF function on the superman server. Do to all the issues I have looked at a few alternatives to help manage the server. With the Help of Mindriot, a "X" FSK405 member he has offered a good solution. What we found is Big Brother Bot (B3) - B3 is a server bot that allows extended admin control and functionality. NOTE: (B3) WILL REPLACE THE REF FUNCTION ============================================================ = What is Big Brother Bot & what does it do - http://www.bigbrotherbot.com/ == ============================================================ • Role based permissions: "Varying Responsibilities for each level of admin " -- This function is the main reason we have implemented B3 on the server. This will allow Multiple Admins on the server at one time. Also allowing the server admin the ability to choose how much control each player gets. - even a regular every day player can have some special control, such as the ability to view the alias's used by another player. • Spam system: - Ability to paste BIGTEXT in the middle of the server screen. -- To get FULL attention of all users, information can be screamed - multi-colors repeated. • Automatic Warning System: B3 will automatically issue warnings for blocked words, team killing, spamming, etc., easing the responsibility for admins. When warnings reach restricted amounts, B3 will automatically kick, tempban, or ban as required. -- The closest thing we have for a anti cheat. • Tiered system of punishment based on severity of infraction: Warn, Kick, Tempban and Permanent Ban. The reason, length and activity of the punishment are all logged. • Database can be shared with multiple servers. Repramands and lookups can be issued from different servers, regardless of which server the user has been on. • Aliases of users are tracked, thus keeping track of players attempting to "hide" from the admins and B3. • Team Damage Tracking: Whenever a user kills or bleeds a teammate they will be issued TK points. When users reach maximum TK points they will be warned, and kicked if not forgiven. If a player does too much damage in a short time he is temp-banned without warning. • Spawn Shooting Warnings: Players shooting teammates at spawn will be issued extra TK points. It is typical for a team killer to kill the whole team at spawn, B3 will detect this and temp-ban the user within 2 team kills. Warnings are issed for single shots. • Much More, =============================================================== ============ Who Gets To Use B3 & What Control Will I Have ============ =============================================================== Current RCON Users: "Senior Admins" Level 80 REF Admins: "Admin" Level 40 Advanced Players: "Reg-Mod" Level 2-20 Regular Player "Reg" Level 2 Any User "User" Level 1 NOTE: All "Admins now equal to REF Admins will be required to visit the Forums. http://www.kickassctf.com =============================================================== ==================== What Do the Different Levels Do ================= =============================================================== Levels 0 - 0 register - register youself as a basic user Levels 0 - 100 help (h) [] - get info on how to use a command, you can use * for partial matches Levels 1 - 100 regtest - display your current user status time - display the servers current time greeting [] - set or list your greeting Levels 2 - 100 maps - list the server's map rotation nextmap - display the next map in rotation seen - when was this player last seen?

awesome dank!!! we all appreciate the time you have put in to make this happen. I cant wait to see it in action!

It will take a couple weeks to work out the bugs and train some folks how to use it. But i think the time will be worth it.

-=DANKS NOTES 9-29-08=-
will update

- if you are looking up a player or using a players name in a command line you dont have to type their full name. Abbreviations work.
Example: if you wan to slap WhiteRhino you can type: !slap rhino

- To look up a player: !lookup fokker
Note: when you look up a player you will see a "@#" the number is the players (B3) @#

- To look up a players alias: !alias fokker -or- !lookup @## , # (B3) @#

So does this mean there is no point of me using a new alias each time? Do I have to register?

My biggest concern is an anti-cheat to ease the paranoia of certain refs. It is actually the reason I quit playing STA because I opposed participating in competition without using q3.exe and punkbuster.

The developers made a huge mistake releasing IO without an anti-cheat. I am grateful that urban terror is free but I would have been willing to purchase it had it came with an anti-cheat.

Anyways hopefully this new mod or what have you is some indication that there will be one eventually.

So does this mean there is no point of me using a new alias each time? Do I have to register?

- Answer: You can continue to use a alias though now REF-Admin Level "admins" and above will be able to look up your other alias's.
- Answer - no you dont have to register just to play. But if you want even a basic level of B3 Powers you have to register.

Simple register by typing
!register
!help - for help commands

awesome dank. can't wait to try it out. i hope this solves some gameplay (noobs) issues and keeps the server running smoothly for all to enjoy!

Im asking all the B3 ADMINS to Please work with FSK405 to make the transition into B3 as smooth as possible. I understand it's change and there is new stuff to learn. It is all done in the hopes of reducing hackers, and allowing more than one admin on the server at a time.

sweeeeeet! i'm going to have to pull myself away from CoD4 to check out B3 i guess :P

Thanks Dank for sorting this. Hope it will make FSK Superman a nicer place to play.

Can I make a request that the permissions for B3 be altered to allow more players to use !teams?

Ive played on a lot of servers where the admin bot automatically uses !teams when needed. Makes sense I reckon.

The team auto balance is on but will need to be tweaked.. As of now its set to scan the server every 3 minutes , if the teams are off by 2 it will auto balance..
