Let me first thank all in the dev team for the coolest piece of open source software for games ..ever.
Although it took me a couple of days to configure it but i now have a cod4 internet server running from my PC using b3.
now  I confront 3 problems
1. I cant display the local time of my machine,instead it displays a time,which is set by default(that one is like 10 hrs off my time ).

2. Whenever i warn a player the console displays "Auto kick for warnings if not cleared" and eventually kicks the player out,even if it may be his first.I have to clear his warnings for him to be able to play.

3.  Not quiet sure if this is the rt place to ask this as its a game specific issue(Cod4)....a name changer once crept inside and i did a !list command to figure out that the guy at (6) was the one...now he doesn't have his real name so i cant kick him...and  the command !k @6 wont work either as it would kick the player in database at position 6..now how do I grab this name changers' cojones.

only for question #1

Code:

/b3/conf/b3.xml

line 9 ish

Code:

<set name="time_zone">HERE</set>

find your time zone and put it there also if your area does daylight savings you will need to change it when that time comes around

Hi sherinkapotein

1. Ryry46d9 is pointing you to the right place  I might add you can find timezone codes at http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/

2. maybe you played with the admin plugin settings. What do you have for :

Code:

<settings name="warn">
<!-- This setting determines whether the warning is sent to the the whole server, or just the player and admin, to reduce chatbox spam.
0 is whole server, 1 is private.
-->
<set name="pm_global">0</set>
<!-- THESE APPEAR TO BE OBSOLETE - DO NOT USE - mindriot - 10/20/2008
<set name="ban_reason">^7too many warnings ^1BANNED: $reason</set>
<set name="ban_num">5</set>
<set name="kick_num">3</set>
<set name="kick_duration">2</set>
<set name="ban_duration">1h</set>
<set name="kick_reason">^7too many warnings: $reason</set>
-->

<set name="alert_kick_num">3</set>
<set name="instant_kick_num">5</set>
<set name="tempban_num">6</set>
<set name="tempban_duration">1d</set>
<set name="max_duration">1d</set>
<set name="message">^1WARNING^7 (^3$warnings^7): $reason</set>
<set name="warn_delay">15</set>
<set name="reason">^7too many warnings: $reason</set>
<set name="duration_divider">30</set>
<set name="alert">^1ALERT^7: $name^7 auto-kick from warnings if not cleared (^3$warnings^7) $reason</set>
</settings>

3. The !list command gives you the slot where players are connected, not the players' database id. In your case, you should have used

Code:

!k 6

instead of

Code:

!k @6

Hey guys a myriad thanks as issues 1 and 3 have been hit right on ::)


but i couldn't comprehend what you meant here

2. maybe you played with the admin plugin settings. What do you have for :[ somecode]

////////// ???

of course i played with admin settings...!!?? and those settings remain untouched by me

[Courgette]

maybe you run the multiple times simultaneously

[ryry46d9]

Do you have echelon installed ? If not I recommend it. It's nice to keep track of who and why some one is getting kicked (oh and by who )

maybe you run the multiple times simultaneously

 I think what u mean here is that i run "B3_run" multiple times simultaneously...
that i do not...but anyways good news i edited some file dunno which and the warning system's on track....
also one more thing i installed the  votekick plugin (only for the votemap feature) and the console says to all my registered users that they do not have sufficient permission..inspite of mine having changed the min_level_vote to 2(which i suppose corresponds to registered use) .Thirdly isin't  there an option by which players can vote for the gametype..

THANk you for all your help so far and beyond this


<configuration plugin="votekick">
   <settings name="settings">
      <set name="min_level_vote">2</set>
      
      <set name="vote_times">3</set>
      <set name="vote_interval">3</set>
   </settings>
   
   <settings name="votekick">
      <set name="min_level_kick">100</set>
      
      <set name="tempban_minvotes">3</set>
      <set name="tempban_interval">3</set>
      <set name="tempban_percent">75</set>
   </settings>   
   
   <settings name="votemap">
      <set name="min_level_map">1</set>      
      <set name="mapfile">@b3/conf/maplist.txt</set>
   </settings>
   
</configuration>

that's because 2 is the 'regular' group 

have a look at this page in the doc

I'm out of words to express my gratitude towards you guys and your work here.Only thing I'm left with is ...Thanks.
cant express gratitude in monetary terms as I don't get any pocket money. 
But I surely have eased your task making you answer one less query of my friends'  which just installed b3 with my support(should I  say) 

Overwhelmed I "managed" a server which I plan to use from game hosting 24*7 and a clan website.
Now the problem here is that b3 comes with apache already and if i type my ip in my friends browser what I get is my Xampp homepage..
Is there a way by which, when connected through game console my ip resolves to game server and when entered in a browser it directs them to my web page (not the xampp one but the one that of my website) ..what I could get was to forward ports as required.But if I forward the port in such a manner that for http queries the url to my server resolves to my webpage then that will also be my localhost....?? and in that case the line in the b3.xml that says

set name="database">mysql://****:*******@localhost/b3</set>

will be rendered useless as the localhost now directs to my webpage and not to database.

I understand that this problem doesn't directly come under domain of B3 but believe me I've searched the web and nothing relevant could be found.Now your team is my only reprise, if nothing else ,atleast if you could give me some links which may be of some help in this context.
i have a dynamic ip at home so i use Dyndns for all above mentioned stuff.   

many of my sentences may not be technically sound but that's all i could assimilate with my tryst with web-technology..

Thanks sherinkapotein for your support.

regarding your xammp issue, I would create a web redirection page as the default page of your xammp installation.
Search the web for "web redirection php"
