Title: Server Admin Problem
Post by: Richard Evans on August 02, 2010, 07:34:25 AM
Hi Guys,

On Section 31's server, i am a admin, however, when i try and set a admin feature like surface explosion, i get this wierd little ball appear, and then it explodes and hurts me and all players around it. I can't seem to change it! Any help?

Don't fire effects with the admin gun and make sure to always log in after respawning.

depands how big the surface explosion is. if its like normal size (like 80ish methink), shoul work. but generally, surface explosion cant hurt you. they dont :/

but that is a wierd glitched. i never encountered that when i was admin :/

Considering this is a RPG-X problem, might be worth checking out the http://www.ubergames.org/forums/ (//http://www.ubergames.org/forums/) (Ubergames Forums).

As they developed the game, they might have some more resources and developers who can pinpoint your problem. ;)

I remember an issue like this years ago where one of the RPG-X 2.1 betas was causing people to shoot grenades instead of admin effects. Make sure your server is running ont he most recent version of rpg-x

depends if ther people can see it as well. if they can, somethings corrupt or glitched in your files. i can think of other possibilities but most of them involve everyone having the same problem. i advise for you go go onto the server with someone sometime and test it out.

It may be a cvar issue on your server's end.

is rpg_effectsgun set to 1 or 0?

Post by: Richard Evans on August 03, 2010, 12:48:53 PM
It's set to 0, do i wanna set it to one?
Title: Re: Server Admin Problem
Post by: The Investigator on August 03, 2010, 01:08:26 PM
Yes.

rpg_effectsgun 1 = effects on and grenades off
rpg_effectsgun 0 = effects off and grenades on

So, yeah, you want it set to 1, not 0. :P

When i was messing around with trip mines, i logged out of admin to detonate them but i was still holding the admin gun, when i logged back in it would only fire those little balls.
