Bad Nick INFO! other threads useless!

[RogueOne[UUNut]]

ALFREDDDDD!!!!!!!

this is nuts. I tried changing the users.ini so that it set with my wonid, and max access. I get the bad nic info error.

Now, my server is on NT, running at work. I called some friends there, and they reworked the file while on the phone. They removed the wonid, and places and actual name, nothing. Changed the access level to 65535, nothing.

Did a whole bunch of stuff. At the latest, we have REMOVED every comment about me in the users.ini, ip.ini, and the nicks.ini is not being used. I removed any comments to my setino password from my autoexec.cfg, and yet I STILL can't get in. I always get the Bad NICK INFO, change names. So I did, still nothing. Any ideas? I have until about 930 est to get them to try some other things.

Please help!!!!!

Note that Alfred's name matching is incomplete matching; if they removed 'RogueOne', but 'RogueOne[UUNut]' or something else starting with 'RogueOne' is still in there, you'll still match. This gets a wee bit more problematic with regex matching, too.

My recommedation is for them to try to backup their users.ini, then delete it. Then try to get in. If that's successful, obviously there's something in the users.ini that's doing it.

haha, we did that. and when we changed the server.cfg to //users_file users.ini i got in. When I bring the users.ini file back to active, I can't get in. Now, one of the other guys says he was able to ge in yesterday, and another said he wasn't. So I can't find a pattern. All 3 of us had the same user access.

At the moment, I have all my refenences out of the users file. I had them remove my wonid, any reference to my name etc.

An example of the file would be like this:
12345678:jump:65535
wildman[UUnut]:down:50175
shooter[UUnut]:my:50175
Krusher[UUnut]:throat:50175

obviously I made up the pwords on the fly =) but anyway, Krusher was the one who said he could get in yesterday. His entry is both by his name and hiw wonid. I was only entered via wonid, and the other guy who tried was entered only by name.

any thoughts on that?

Nope. Just that something in the users.ini is keeping you out. You can try removing stuff from the users.ini until you can get in, or double-double check that neither you nor your WON ID is in there...but, not being at the server, I really can't help much.

[RogueOne[UUNut]]

that's where I'm screwed too. since it's at work, I won't be able to play around with it for a few hours. But once I'm at work, I can't test my connection to the server from home =/ derrr

So before I get to work, let me try and clarify some things about the file. Oh, and remember, this is on NT. From what I've seen messages on, I have gathered that regex doesn't work in windows. Is this a correct or incorrect thought? If incorrect, what must I do for it to work?

Nicks just needs to be removed corect?

In the users.ini, I can put in wonid:pw:50175 (that should be max access based on my math, unless I can't use a calculator now ;). Is this correct or incorrect? This includes the reserve nick option. Since there is no nick, is that going to present a problem?

To reserve a nick, will I need it to be in the users file exactly, and with all access levels, or just the 16384? (this is based on also placing my wonid in with access as well)

If I don't have a person's wonid, I can just place name:pw:32768+16384+any others to give friends admin along with reserve access?

(I only use admin mod for it's reserve function, so I only place names in the users.ini that I want to have access to the server at anytime. )

the last thing I can think of is the ip.ini. If my ip is in there, how is that affecting me now? Does it allow or prevent anything? Since there is no access level stuff in the ip file, what is it actually doing?

Sorry for all this, but these are the questions I can think of that will impact my getting everything working tonight so I can get on tomorrow. Thanks for all the prior help as well.

haha, i'm sure you know this, I didn't, but the 2 green smiles are actually :p 's

take care

the ips.ini is independant of the users file.

regex can work under windows, perhaps you have it on by mistake? set "use_regex 0" in your server.cfg.

How are you entering your pw? Do you do it manunally via the console EACH TIME you enter your server? Do you have a server log showing your server starting up, and you being kicked? set "admin_debug 1" and see what it says.

>>the ips.ini is independant of the users file.
so if I have my ip in this file, how does that affect the entries in the users.ini? will it just always allow me reserve access? Or give me full admin?


>>regex can work under windows, perhaps you have it on by mistake? set "use_regex 0" in your server.cfg.
It's never been on in previous versions, no reason for it to now unless updating to 2.09 changed something, but I'll check.

>>How are you entering your pw? Do you do it manunally via the console EACH TIME you enter your server?
I have it set in the autoexec.cfg, and I have a shortcut that has it as part of the startup line. But I also have tried it from the console, nothing works

>>Do you have a server log showing your server starting up, and you being kicked? set "admin_debug 1" and see what it says.
yes, but it's at work. I'll not have access to it till 10pm.


any comments on the other questions I have? It doesn't make a lot of sense that the upgrade to 2.09 broke my access, the only change I made for me was changing the users.ini to my wonid instead of a userame, since I'm using 2 names currently. but there is another person in the file who I didn't touch, and they can't get access either today. There's just no sense to this. any thoughts would be appreciated.

[alfred]

there is the usual, try deleting everything (hl too) and start again option.
Make sure you don't use a name in the users file that is also matched by a wonid (just to be safe :) ).

What line are you entering into the console before connecting?

the ips.ini lets you give out reserved access to people from certain ip ranges. It is independant of the users file in all ways.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt't the users.ini file supposed to hold information about who can do what in the Admin Mod? - that means the users connecting doesn't need to admin_password until they wish to access the admin commands. I have no nick reservations or model reservations.

I'm having the same problem as the rest in this thread. The nicks in the users.ini gets kicked out upon connection (and ONLY the ones mentioned in the users.ini file gets kicked) with the reason:
[ADMIN] kicked Tornado due to bad nickname/model info

Deleting the users from users.ini and I can connect without any problems.

Here's a copy of the log with admin_debug 1:

"Tornado<1><WON:XXXXXXXXXX>" connected, address "192.168.0.2:27005"
[ADMIN] Loading users from file users.ini
[ADMIN] User:Tornado Access:1023

[ADMIN] DEBUG:found user! Tornado Tornado 1023 **ksgeiN/bXuaX.****1

Any ideas? :)

[alfred]

Its a bug in 2.09. You need to give everyone reserved nicks or that will be kicked like that :) (older threads explain this).
2.10 will fix this, but for now everyone who is in the users.ini must have a reserved nick and must use the setinfo method to enter a pw.

[Tornado]

I just read about it in the FAQ too few mins ago - usually everywhere the FAQ is the last thing to be updated, but not here - you have control. :)

I'll be waiting for v2.10 then - and hopefully it'll be out soon. :)

Good work with this mod ;)
