Tobias Solem Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I've seen some admin tools out there, there's n8tm4re's web-based tool, and then there's some in-game tools that basically work like a hack usable only by admins, and then there might be some other tools other than editing the database manually. But how do you admin your server (that isn't hosted and come with a custom admin panel)? For example: 1. Some players destroy a base, you want to grant them building components (or restore the base) how would you deal with that? 2. You want to revive a player who died, or got a permanent unconscious state from server network issues... 3. You want to compensate a guy who lost all his building materials from something due to a bug (edit inventory) How do you deal with this as an admin? What tool do you use? Is there a need for something to do all of the above or more, more efficiently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cen Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Infistar has a "hack" menu that lets admins do all sort of things in-game. There are also different levels of the menu that you can customize so the admins only see what you want them to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthyPark Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Does the infistar tool solve the three issues above? Yes, it can do 10x more than that :P but there is only one problem (or if you are rich its no problem) the infistart antihack tool costs 40$ anyway here is the link: http://dayzantihack.com/ LawlessBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind-Sir Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I created a few custom PHP scripts that would convert database backups into time slices along with area slices, so I am able to restore a certain area of a map and see who was where and what happened based on the database backups.They are not at all secure, and still have a lot of improvement.Might package them into a tool set soon..

Is there a need for something to do all of the above or more, more efficiently? all these things can be done using the database. 1. Add a (pre-setup) backpack filled with building supplies 2. Isdead (or isalive) value 3. edit gear boxman80 and skittles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Solem Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yes, as I explained I am aware of the editing of the database. :) The pre-defined backpack with building gear was a nice tip though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kivuli Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 We use a customized version of Blue Phoenix admin tools combined with database editing to do all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomness Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Everything important can be done through the sql. Infistar can do most of these things too, but infistar can also do non-hive related stuff. For lost materials it depends on how it went missing, but I modded infistar to spawn boxes, but i can also do a player rollback or a safe rollback with the hivelog. In short: you can do all the important stuff in the database too, infistar is just a tool that makes this a bit easier , with the luxury of cheaters getting caught more easily. At first i didn't want to pay for it and wanted to try writing my own, but considering the amount of time it would have cost me, the 40 dollar for infistar was quite well spent. also im a douche, I do very little support for my players, since they are all victims of the same bugs anyway. I tell them to play careful and sort stuff out theirselves :P Fair Play Policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEB11 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Infistar won't let you do a rollback. I make my bases indestructible for that reason. Everything else yeah it's np. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
