Advanced server

[Guest]

Hi everyone!

For a couple friends, I have set up the MTA Server at my computer.

But sometimes, some 'professionals' come in my server. No problem, let they play. But, they try to use commands starting with !, but my server doesn't respond on that. What are those commands and how can I enable them?

Thanks

You need the MTAMA admin utility available from http://home.deds.nl/~aeron/

This utility requires mIRC ( http://www.mirc.com ) and enables you to run scripts on your server. One recommended script package would be MTAMA: GRS, available here: http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=8788

[Guest]

So: I have to install mIRC and that plugin so the server will react on that commands???

[orappa]

Yep, and some scripts such as the General Release Script recommended above.

[Brophy]

yes u need mirc, then u load the mtama, connect to your server, enable admin+ and load the grs script , there should be a readme with it to help u if u get stuck

I just don't get it...

What have I do:

1. Install mIRC in C:\Program Files\mIRC

2. place the self extractor of mtama in that directory and install it there.

3. read the GRS_MANUAL.txt file

What am I forgetting?

Already a great thank you for trying to help me

That's exactly correct.

No it's not, he's forgeting mtama (which doesn't have a self extractor), people keep getting confused between mtama and mtama:grs.

Owww, thats why mIRC keeps giving an error (that that stuff may not be loaded, it must be loaded with mtama)

Let's try

Edit: I can login on the server with that admin stuff on mIRC, but after a few seconds, this happens:

* Disconnected: Timed out.

And in the server module, this comes:

ADMIN-QUIT (nick e.d.) ... quit due to timeout.

I think that is not normal...

Try the server-patch on http://www.mtavc.com

THe mta-server.exe in the cleint-packet is 'bugged'.

Thanks for your help.

It works

[Guest]

Owkeuj, It doesn't work...

A few commands for the admin work in the admin module, but that's all.

The commands like !stats just don't work!

[Jani]

Make sure you enable Admin+ in the MTA:mA, and enable Stats in the GRS interface.

[Guest]

Weird: the splashscreen of MTA:mA:GRS doesn't leave...

[Jani]

Right click on its bar in the taskbar and just close it. It's known to just hang on some systems.

[Guest]

And now mIRC doesn't react annymore :')

I can kill everything

if GRS hangs it could be loading a large hash table OR could be converting an existing stats file into the GRS format.

Wait a few minutes and see what happens.

There is a "close" button on the grs dialog. To get back to it type /menu in irc.

This stuff can all be found in the GRS manual.
