General MCServer Help

[thesilentdiablo]

Due to the recent loss of Bukkit, I have been exploring options for a new custom server. I believe that MCServer could be what I'm looking for, but I am having trouble with getting started. Here is a list of things I am stuck on:

• With the WebAdmin, I am not able to log in. Upon editing the setting file, I enter a user and password, but after starting the server I notice the file has deleted the password. Am I doing something wrong?
  
• How do I add someone, like myself, to a rank?
  
• Are there any plugins similar to factions available?
  

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Q: With the WebAdmin, I am not able to log in. Upon editing the setting file, I enter a user and password, but after starting the server I notice the file has deleted the password. Am I doing something wrong?

A: Have you removed the semicolon and whitespace at the beginning of the lines?

Q: How do I add someone, like myself, to a rank?

A: with core installed do "/rank <user> <rank>" ingame or "rank <user> <rank>" in console

Q: Are there any plugins similar to factions available?

A: I do not know a faction plugin for MCServer

For the webadmin, could you type an example for me? And for the ranks, are there any predetermined ranks? If so, what are they?

For the webadmin, see the bit that says:

Code:

; [User:admin]
; Password=admin

Make it look like this:

Code:

[User:username]
Password=passwd

Where your username is username and password is password.

You might be using a reload. That only is for plugins. And if it still doesn't work then try it in this order:

• Stop the server
  
• Edit the file and save it
  
• Start the server
  

Because it could be possible that we have a bug where the server overwrites the server file with the settings it has loaded.

The ranks are (case-sensitive) : Default, VIP, Operator, Admin
