Tadmin = Temporary administrator Tadmin was originally designed as a tool that allows any player to change the server map without needing to be an admin or PlayerAdmin. Now the Tadmin has become more than a map changer. Currently, the Tadmin allows the following functions to be carried out without the need to be an Admin or Playeradmin: change server map enable or disable cheats set the duration of the game set the number of rounds per game enable or disable respawn swap teams change class without using cheats have infinite ammo without using cheats get medical packages without using cheats warn inactive players to move randomly assign ammo when picking up enemy weapons Tadmin can also help players to find the correct map that is running on the server and thus avoid the DCDS message. This works in conjunction with the DODGE download system. With Tadmin you can set a default map to which your server will automatically switch every time your server empties of players (this is configurable, you can activate or deactivate it) In fact all the features of Tadmin are configurable you can activate and deactivate the ones you like from its ini configuration file How does it work? Any player that connects to a server that has the TADMIN running has the possibility to become TADMIN. To do so, just open the command console(press ~key) and type the command "mutate beadmin" If no player is self-assigned the role of TADMIN all players can administer the server with TADMIN commands which is not recommended. Once someone is self-assigned the role of TADMIN with the command "mutate beadmin" only this player can use the TADMIN commands to manage the server. If the player who had the role of TADMIN is disconnected from the game, the mutator waits 2 minutes for the player to reconnect, if the player does not reconnect during that time the mutator will automatically remove the role of TADMIN to that player. This way any player that is in the server can self-assign the role of TADMIN with the command "mutate beadmin". An Admin or PlayerAdmin can use all the TADMIN commands without needing to have the TADMIN role. they can even use the commands if there is a player who already has the role of tadmin. click here to see a video tutorial on how to use tadmin How to install Tadmin on your server? STEP 1 Get a copy of the Tadmin v1.7 by clicking the Tadmin download link above or go to github STEP 2 unzip the file to extract its content STEP 3 Copy the files Tadmin.u, Tadmin.ini to the system folder of your server STEP 4 Stop your server and start it adding the parameter ?Mutator=Tadmin.Tadmin as shown in the following example EXAMPLE: Server.exe LAN Bridge.aao?Mutator=Tadmin.Tadmin log=server.log ini=server.ini Note: If you want the Tadmin map change function to be fully functional you must generate the files "tadmin_coop_list.lst" and "tadmin_pvp_list.lst" and copy those files to the System folder of your server. Below you can see the methods to create the lists for the Tadmin Any questions you can write to my email oban.bere@gmail.com How to generate the PVP and COOP maps lists for Tadmin mutator There are two methods for creating the lists. the automatic method using a tool and the manual method. Automatic method For this we are going to use a list generator tool that you can download by clicking the maplistg download link above or go to github The file you will download is a compressed file that contains 3 files: maplistg.u RunTool.bat ToMapFolder.bat To know how to use this tool watch the video tutorial here If an error occurs during the list creation process, watch the video to continue the process here IMPORTANT NOTE: Before using this tool, you must have in the "Maps" folder of the game all the maps that your server has. so you can generate lists that reflect the maps of your server. Manual method The manual method consists of manually creating the tadmin_coop_list.lst and tadmin_pvp_list.lst files. for this you must create two text files and rename them tadmin_coop_list.lst and tadmin_pvp_list.lst (it is important that you change the extension to .lst) then open each of the files with a text editor and begin to add the names of the maps one for each line and always ending the line with ":" as shown in the following example armoury_infiltration.aao: once you finish adding the maps save your files and that's it Remember the COOP maps must go in the tadmin_coop_list.lst file and the PVP maps must go in the tadmin_pvp_list.lst file. Once you have the files ready, upload them to the system folder of your server. TADMIN COMMANDS FOR PLAYERS Help command displays the list of all available commands that a player can use.

"map_id_tool" is a mutator designed for AAO 2.8.5 servers. Its purpose is to help players to accurately identify the map that is running on a server in order to download the correct map and thus avoid the DCDS message How does it work? map_id_tool gets the md5 code, the map file name and the map title of the map running on the server and sends this information using the responses from the server's query port. map_id_tool adds the map information in the field for the server administrator's email. map_id_tool works in conjunction with the server browser and also with the Dodge website, who are in charge of processing the information to generate a download link for the map. How to install map_id_tool on your server? STEP 1 Get a copy of the map_id_tool.u file click map_id_tool link above or go to github STEP 2 Copy the map_id_tool.u file to the system folder of your server STEP 3 Stop your server and start it adding the parameter ?Mutator=map_id_tool.map_id_tool as shown in the following example EXAMPLE: Server.exe LAN Bridge.aao?Mutator=map_id_tool.map_id_tool log=server.log ini=server.ini
