Co-Host Rank

[Cannon666]

You know so you can have Cannon666 has become Co-Host (Auto)

if you want them to have the same access as host, it'd be a bit difficult to implement
many addons check if the client is host by comparing their ID to the server owner's(?)

what's wrong with super admin?

[failbros2]

So, it's basically an addon that makes a super admin(s) more important than other admins.

[Cannon666]

Just so people can assign a co-host

[phflack]

what is a "co-host"
you still haven't told us what that means
is it just a relabled super admin, or is it something else?

could you do relabeled super admin and when you join it says Co host and the player list says CH

[CRITAWAKETS]

the player list says CH

Im pretty sure its 1 letter long only and thus it should be "C".

I doubt this will even have any use but on some servers. The only server i can think of using this is pure stuff so...

I'm pretty sure the player list GUI works with numbers, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

For example, admins are 1, supers are 2. Then compares host id to server id to get the host.

It converts that to S, A and H. Therefore, you'd have to update the client GUI to support the C in the player list.

I guess you could package something up to support the message sent, but it'd be like a cheat in a way.

Apologies for any syntax errors, I'm on a phone.

Code: [Select]

package coHost {
   function messageAll(%f,%msg) {
      strreplace(%msg, "has become SuperAdmin", "has become Co-Host");
      return Parent::messageAll(%f,%msg);
   }
};
activatePackage(coHost);

Specify what advantages the Co-Host would have. Specify why it would be better than Super Admin?

there used to be an old co-host mod that was super buggy, the co-host could kick the real host and it would cause everyone's avatar to slowly turn to doombot and eventually the server died

this sounds like a wild rumor because from a coding stand point kicking the host just deletes the client which in the case of the host shuts down the server, unless its a dedicated server and then there would be no logical repercussions to deleting the host

[Drydess]

well one time i spartan-kicked the host and me and another guy on the server were still just wandering around in it while the server slowly succumbed further to the farlands
did something like it another time too, neither were dedicated
