Installation modes changed in 1.2.0

WolfAdmin can be installed both as a standalone game manager (default with ET: Legacy) as well as being an add-on to existing mod functionality (such as ETPub or NoQuarter).

When used as a standalone game manager, WolfAdmin will take care of all your needs as an administrator. It provides you with fine-grained acccess control for players and administrators, as well as many different settings to enable or disable features.

Older modifications already have an administration system in place, called shrubbot. This system can be disabled if you want to make use of all of WolfAdmin's features. To do so, check the relevant section on the setup page. If you want to run WolfAdmin alongside shrubbot, you do not have to change any configuration at all, since the module is able to detect this automatically.

Because some functionality is only available in standalone mode (and some only in add-on mode), blue labels are added in the documentation for the sake of readability. standalone and add-on denote functionality that is available in standalone mode and add-on mode, respectively.

Access control lists standalone added in 1.2.0

WolfAdmin comes with its own authorization system. Rather than editing a configuration file, all levels and administrators are stored in a database in so-called access control lists (ACLs). Each command or feature is associated to a permission (e.g. !help requires the permission help) rather than a shrubbot flag. ACLs are basically feature permissions grouped together in a list (level).

Anyone with access to the acl command is able to read and modify the ACLs that are available on a server, for example to create new permissions (for custom features) or to add/remove permissions from a certain level.

For more information on configuring ACLs, see the relevant section on the configuration page.

Commands

To control most of WolfAdmin's features on the fly, you can execute commands in-game or from the server. Below you can find a list of default commands. Server owners are also able to install more commands written in Lua.

Voting

WolfAdmin provides you with a new set of voting options. This allows players to adjust the game's settings, for example when there are no administrators online.

New options

/callvote poll enable bots
enable bots on the server

/callvote poll disable bots
disable bots on the server

/callvote poll put bots [axis|allies]
put bots to the selected team

Restrictions

It is now possible to restrict votes to a certain group of players. Only players who have the % flag will be allowed to call the votes specified in g_restrictedVotes. Currently it is only possible to restrict the default voting options - the above options by WolfAdmin are not yet supported.

Together with WolfAdmin comes a custom menu for the newly added voting options. This is provided via the wolfadmin.pk3. However, if your server already has such a menu, it may not work. To fix this, please add the following line in your own menu (in /ui/menus.txt):

// WolfAdmin
loadMenu { "ui/ingame_vote_wolfadmin.menu")
