Sightjacker

15 posts in this topic

Sapp documentation says to use sj_level [level] to enable/disable sightjacker (from HAC2) - but there's no info to say what the levels are, apart from: Default: -1 (everybody can use sightjacker)

 

What are the other levels and what is the correct level to set that allows only admins to use it ?

 

Thx

Tiddy-bits:

Thx.. do you know what all the levels are.. and what they allow ?

Setting sj_level 4 gives an error when restarting the server - retried with sj_level -4 and it appears to work. Assuming then that -4 is for admins only ?

 

It would be good if things were explained more in detail in the guide.

-1 means sightjacking is enabled for everyone, 5 means it's disabled. In between -1 and 5 are most likely admin levels. -4 is not a valid parameter and does nothing.

That's strange then.. if I use sj_level -1 it works ok - if I use sj_level 4 the server won't even start ?? If I use sj_level -4 the server starts - but with what you're saying, I'm unsure if this is only for admins.

 

Btw I'm using sapp 10.1 - using sapp 10.2.1 doesn't appear to work on Elite Game Servers for some reason. EliteGS support have recommended using 10.1.

 

Thx giraffe for your help :)

 

From sapp 10.0 changelog:

 

Quote

New: sj_level [level(-1-5)] command: This is the unified command that replaces disable_sj and sj_admin_level commands. -1 means sightjacking is enabled for everyone, 5 means it's disabled.

It worked for me by adding the following line event_start 'sj_level 5'  in events.txt

Ok.. adding this to the events file works ok.. thx mdc81 :)

 

I have tried setting -1 and also 5 - they both work as they should.  But.. changing the setting to 2, 3 or 4 however, disables sightjacker - it doesn't allow admin only usage .

 

So I'm assuming that this will only enable or disable sightjacker for everyone and that there is no provision to allow only admins to use it ?

 

Can anyone confirm ?

 

Before sapp 10.0 it was possible to use 'sj_admin_level [level]' to allow only admins to use sightjacker for whatever level that admins had access to, but it was replaced by sj_level [level] and now seems to have been discontinued. Surely there must be a way to allow only admins to use it ?

I thought this to be the case until recently I found this post.

I'm running 10.2.1 on wine 5.0, you also need to run it with a 32 bit wine prefix.

 

I was disappointed for a long time until I ran this workaround, I was doing something crazy like running windows 7 in virtual box from an ubuntu host to run a halo server with sapp to do my development.

ive been able to get the latest version of sapp (possibly version 11, but pretty sure its latest) on a ubuntu server worked fine. I'll check what I used in my SAPP ubuntu tutorial video and see.

 

Regardless of all that, it still annoys me to this day that sehe is hellbent on keeping the source code private. I'd literally pay to have it released because it would help the community so much. -.-

 

Edit: Nvm I was using version 10.1
