Administration
- The INIDBI2 Mod uses ini files for data storage. These files are located in a folder called db in the mod structure. If this folder does not exist, create it. Otherwise the mod isn't able to create the ini-files.
- Also use the latest version of INIDBI2. At the moment this is v2.06
- To create an admin for PPS you first must start Arma with CBA/PPS and Arma Server with CBA/PPS/INIDBI2.
- Next you must allow sending data to Server by Opening the addon options in Arma, going to the PPS client settings and tick allow sending data, see screenshot.
- Then you have to start a multiplayer game on your server and connect your client. At this point the client connects to server and the server adds an entry for that player in his db file, called pps-players.ini
- Now you can locate the pps.players.ini file in mod folder of inidbi, for example @INIDBI2\db\pps-players.ini
- Open the file with an editor of your choice, locate the entry block for your player, like this one:
[76561197994306240]
playerName=""y0014984""
playerUid=""76561197994306240""
isAdmin="false"
isAdminLoggedIn="false"
- Now change the isAdmin entry to
isAdmin="true" - The next time you open the PPS interface you are able to login as admin and then to start an event, which allows the recording of statistics.
- For every player in every event the will be a statistics db file with name scheme pps-statistics-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.ini containing the statistics. The first number is ther player UID and the second number is the event ID (It's a timecode: yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss).
- To create an admin for PPS you first must start Arma with CBA/PPS and Arma Server with CBA/PPS/INIDBI2.
- Next you must login as server admin (not voted admin) by typing in chat
#loginoder perhaps#login [password] - The next time you open the PPS dialog, you will become an admin.
You can promote players to admins by using the Promote Button. If a user is already an admin the button changes to Degrade. Now you can revoke the privileges by pressing the button.
