Configuration Guide

The /Config/ path contains several .json files which can be used to configure the game:

Admin Rights

"adminrights" is an array of objects defining the rights for each admin level. Individual rights can be configured in the admin account using file browser.

• type: number, the admin level
• commands: array of string, such as ["profile", "summon"], define which commands the admin can use (/profile, /summon), sometimes this is also used to enable the corresponding buttons in the admin menu (command "summon" enables the Summon button in the "Admin actions" menu, which is actually only setting the player chat to /summon params)
• paths: array of string, gives access to paths in the file browser, such as ["rw /Config/*", "rw /Admins/*", "rw /DB/*"]. Available paths are /Config, /Files, /Scripts, /Maps, /Admins and /DB.

Auto Spawns

"autospawns" is any array of objects defining what items to automatically spawn on certain maps:

• map: string, map name
• spawns: array of objects, example: {"spawntype":"trash", "npcclass":"trash", "markers":null, "itemnr":40}; npcclass must be "trash", "arrow" or "movingcar"; counts how many npcs of a built-in class exist, and spawns "itemnr" items of "spawntype" either randomly or at locations defined with the "markers" class

Bans

"bans" is an array of objects defining which players should be blocked from entering the game, can also be used to restrict access to new servers:

• active: boolean, default true, can be used to enable to disable certain rules

• showtoadmins: boolean, print the login attempt on admin console
• rules: array of objects {action:string, ip:"*" or [ips], os:"*" or [operating systems], userid:"*" or [player ids]}, action can be "allow" or "deny"

When deciding if a player should be allowed or denied access, then all matching rules will be applied one by one: checking if the ip, os and userid contain the player's ip, os (iOS, Android) or id, and depending on the action allow or deny. The last matching rule decides the fate of the player.
