Thread: [508] load mods admins and login message from file no need to recompile

you will need to find:
Login.java
fileManager.java(if you want my way to take total controle of the mods and admins)

ok so open your login.java and put this method somewhere:

Code:

public String[] ReadFileLine(String filename) throws IOException {
        FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(filename);
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
        List<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
        String line = null;
        while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
            lines.add(line);
        }
        bufferedReader.close();
        return lines.toArray(new String[lines.size()]);
    }

now find:

Code:

if (p.banned == 1) {
                returnCode = 4;
            }

underneath above what ever ticles your fancy! paste:

Code:

            try {
                String[] lines = ReadFileLine("./data/characters/admin.txt");
                for (String line : lines) {
                    if (p.username.equals(line)) {
                        p.rights = 2;
                    } else if(!p.username.equals(line)){
                p.rights = 0;
                    }
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Misc.println("Cannot Read Admin File");
            }

            try {
                String[] lines = ReadFileLine("./data/characters/mod.txt");
                for (String line : lines) {
                    if (p.username.equals(line)) {
                        p.rights = 1;
                    } else if(!p.username.equals(line)){
                p.rights = 0;
                    }
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Misc.println("Cannot Read mod File");
            }

now to load the welcome message like you see when u login you need to find the origanal welcome message now this is where u have to use your noggin! your best bet is to search for the login message you see when u login to the server usualy "welcome" or something, in my server it came up with

Code:

p.frames.sendMessage(p, "Welcome!");

ok so they might be more than one line of welcome messages just delete them all if you dont want them and replace them with:

Code:

try {
                String[] lines = ReadFileLine("./data/characters/LoginMessage.txt");
                for (String line : lines) {
                    p.frames.sendMessage(p, "" + line);
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Misc.println("Cannot Read Login Message File");
            }

then at the very top you need to add the import statement:

Code:

import java.util.*;

this next bit is optional it just makes it so that when you add the name in to text file that when you take it out there no longer a admin or a mod, basicly open up filemanager.java and search for something like

Code:

stream.writeString("rights:" + p.rights);

then ether delete it or comment(should be 2) it out (put a // infron of the code)
then search for:

Code:

else if (line.startsWith("rights:")) {
                    p.rights = Integer.parseInt(line.substring(7));

an comment them 2 lines out

then create your admin.txt,mod.txt and LoginMessage.txt in the data/characters file and your as good to go!
i inculded a screenie so u can see what it does
you can change the text file then the next time u log back in! it changes

please dont leech n say thanks! any comments or ways to make it better please tell me
