I noticed lol. And fyi, one cannot access pm's while banned lol. I'm writing this from inside the vbulletin thing. I tried both the admin and mod link. The mod link gives me a 'forum manager' tab on the left. Which is how I am here now. But I still can't find anything to actually the change the stuff.

yup, not being able to access pms while banned is normal according to vbulletin.

are you still banned? mind giving me your password so i can peek around with your account in the admin section?

Not at all. My pw is ******** When on the normal site, there's a 'moderation' drop down box for editing threads, moving posts, etc. I even tried the help section on vbulletin, to no avail.

Freakin huzzah! I see all the options, and it makes me giddy lol. First thing that comes to mind; 'Power!!! Unlimited power!!!' Well done though. I need just one more favor, and then I'm taking a nap lol. Email Justin and ask him if there's anything we can do to help setup the ftp. He wrote me last week and said he'd get it setup in a few days. I'd really like to get this taken care of. I scheduled a game-day earlier and noone could join cuz the server was out of date, so I'm hesitant to make any game events. Plus there's far too many maps, and it would just be easier if I could moderate it. I appreciate the help m8.

awesome!

i can email him, but im sorry i forgot to tell you that i have the ftp for the server

it never crossed my mind just to give it to you.

Game Server FTP: ****
Username: *******
Password: *********


Map Redirect FTP: *******
Username: **************
Password: **********


Rcon Password: **************

Basic rundown:

Put the bsp files in the maps directory.
Edit mapcycle.txt (add new maps into the rotation)
Edit maplist.txt (add new maps into full map list)
Edit motd.txt (Update w. current map rotation)

I , then, use 7-zip to compress them into .bz2 files and then upload them to the map redirect ftp into the maps sub-dir.


If you have any questions, please let me know. I play under the name "AssCacti", so say hello if you see me in there.

Thanks,
Justin

Considering this is all under the title of 'Re: ban', I think this officially counts as epic lol. If you don't mind, I'm gonna post this little transaction, minus the rcon stuff of course.
