Server List Question
by Myrddin Emrys · in General Game Discussion · 01/16/2005 (2:03 am) · 12 replies
What does the star symbol, on the server list, signify? I believe the 'note' symbol means that stats are tracked... but I don't understand why every server but mine has a star next to it. :-/

Not sure what adminpassword is used for, but maybe a bad idea to post it here?

Admin Password lets me connect to my server as a player, enter the password, and then I can boot people, change the maps, etc. It lets you remotely administer the server.

That's why it was redacted. :-) That's a fancy term for 'crossed out', often used by the government when they censor documents before releasing them to the public.Admin Password lets me connect to my server as a player, enter the password, and then I can boot people, change the maps, etc. It lets you remotely administer the server.

Lock - Requires Password
Star - Tracks stats
Box with lines - Dedicated
Admin password is used for admin control while in game. If you are in a Zap game you have admin to, you can hit escape, enter the admin password, then do things like change maps etc.

Myrddin uses the "-stats" argument. So there should be a star, right?

There isn't... do you have a theory as to why?

Possibly related to the previously noted arg parsing issues?
