WolfAdmin is very flexible and configurable. Currently it has over 30 settings which allow you to customize messages, adjust the module's behaviour or disable some functionality completely.
Table of contentsIn case you run into trouble and need support for WolfAdmin, check out the Discord channel dedicated to WolfAdmin on the ET: Legacy Discord. You may also contact me via mail or via one of the communities where I usually hang around.

Settings allow the module's features to behave in a different way, or disable some functionality completely. The list below is an overview of the settings that you can use to customize your server.
For installations running version 1.2.0 and later, you can find all of these settings in the wolfadmin.toml file in your mod folder (in fs_homepath). This is a TOML-formatted file.
For installations running versions before 1.2.0, the related CVAR that toggles the same functionality is also listed. This file follows the same syntax as the shrubbot.cfg file.

Each player can have a greeting, either specified by the level of the player or a GUID. If a player has both a greeting specified by his/her level and one by GUID, the latter will have priority.
In the examples below, a player with GUID XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and level 0 would see the latter greeting (Welcome back [name]^9!). Any other player with level 0 would see Welcome a guest! and hear Provide sniper cover!. Note that the greeting sounds are relative to the /sound/ directory in the .pk3 files. added in 1.0.1
For installations running version 1.2.0 and later, you can find all of these greetings in the greetings.toml file in your mod folder (in fs_homepath). This is a TOML-formatted file.
[[level]] level = 0 greeting = "Welcome a guest!" sound = "chat/axis/955a.wav" [[user]] guid = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" greeting = "Welcome back [N]^9!" sound = ""
For installations running versions before 1.2.0, these greetings can be configured through the greetings.cfg in the mod folder (in fs_homepath). This file follows the same syntax as the shrubbot.cfg file.
[level] level = 0 greeting = Welcome a guest! sound = chat/axis/955a.wav [user] guid = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX greeting = Welcome back [N]^9! sound =
The rulebook of your server can be structured by WolfAdmin's support for rules. This makes it easy for server admins to show the rulebook to online players or to highlight a specific rule when it's needed.
In the examples below, any player that is allowed to execute the !rules command, will be able to show NO spawnkilling! to the rest of the players online by typing !rules sk.
For installations running version 1.2.0 and later, you can find all of these rules in the rules.toml file in your mod folder (in fs_homepath). This is a TOML-formatted file.
[[rule]] shortcut = "sk" rule = "^1NO ^7spawnkilling^9!"
For installations running versions before 1.2.0, these rules can be configured through the rules.cfg in the mod folder (in fs_homepath). This file follows the same syntax as the shrubbot.cfg file.
[rule] shortcut = sk rule = ^1NO ^7spawnkilling^9!
This system is only enabled in standalone mode.
Access control lists can be changed through the server console using the acl [action] command. The command currently offers the following functionality:
listlevels
list all available levels and the amount of players in each level
addlevel [id] [name]
add a new level
removelevel [id]
remove a level
relevel [id] [newid]
move all players from one level to another
listpermissions [id]
list all permissions in a level
isallowed [id] [permission]
check if a level has a certain permission
addpermission [id] [permission]
add a permission to a level
removepermission [id] [permission]
remove a permission from a level
copypermissions [id] [newid]
copy all permissions from one level to another
removepermissions [id]
remove permissions from a level
When running the module in standalone mode, you will be able to grant administrators commands and abilities through permissions. These can be granted using the commands described above.

When running the module in add-on mode, the ACL system is not available. Instead, to make the new functionality available, levels require additional shrubbot flags.
The flags should match the settings used on a community server. For example, !plock has the same flag as !lock and !listaliases is similar to !finger. The following table lists all the flags and their features.
