Echo Admin Commands to Admins only

[nathan736]

why not just add a config seting so people can set it but it defaults to the old thing so nothing changes if people don't do it

2 - Anonymous outputs to players with out access to see a predefined name to see when a admin uses a command  instead of "(someone)" they would see "(your String here)" slaped bob for 0 damage.

 you would see  (in code) "(".. ulx.echoword .. ")" .. string

[Stickly Man!]

Would it not be easier/more backwards compatible for us to just 'add' the option.
Leave current 0,1,2 as is, and add the option 3?

I brought this up with Megiddo when I first asked him about this, he said that having the configuration in the proper order would be less confusing in the long run. We'll obviously have to make a prominent note about it, however.

Harumph, I'm just gonna call Megiddo mini-Gar...uh, nah, he's NEVER that bad.

I really really really appreciate it

did a modification to add the ability to set a convar in config.txt https://github.com/nathan736/Ulysses/tree/patch-1/ulx
this is not a stand alone this patches the stock ulx code
-warning this may not work-

change someone to what ever you want in that dir and your set, what did you want then ?

Instead of it saying (Someone) to all the players, it just doesn't echo to anybody BUT admins.

Hi guys,

I hate bumping new threads but on this occasion I feel I need to.

Can I just ask if this was ever completed? We have an extensive structure of staff within our community.

We currently have the owner who is 'superadmin', we also have 'founder', 'co-owner' and 'headadmin' that are all inherited with slight variations from 'sadmin' (senior admin). 'sadmin' inherits from 'admin' and intern goes from 'tadmin' (trial admin).

We would ideally like to be able to have ULX echo all admin commands used but so only 'sadmin' and higher can see the echoes.
We don't want 'admin' and lower to see the echoes as we don't actually want them to know we can see them.

Brief bit of background to understand why - there is a culture where some of our admins kick or slay during TTT rounds for sometimes very petty reasons often because the admin was a T and they got killed. The owner is not on very often so getting him to check server logs is difficult and we would like to be able to deal with this quickly when he isn't online.

Me and him have agreed if we can get this working he'll implement it. To be honest, I'm quite the Lua junkie, I can edit the code with a basic understanding of what I'm changing but no good at new code. If someone could simply tell me where the Lua checks to see what usergroup they are in when it echoes and I'm sure I could do the rest.

Thanks!

It has not been done yet. The code for logging is in logs.lua. You'll want to look near the end of the file.

[JamminR]

I believe we have a group flag for seeing console log functions.
Don't we?
Maybe not. It's been too long for me since I looked at our groups.
Maybe I'm thinking the seeasay with operators.

[Megiddo]

You might be thinking of the permission that lets you see who used commands when logging is set to anonymous mode.

That is pretty much what I want. So our higher admins can see every command our lower admins are doing without anybody else seeing the echo.

I see this in log.lua on line 21 and 22:

Code: [Select]

local seeanonymousechoAccess = "ulx seeanonymousechoes"
ULib.ucl.registerAccess( seeanonymousechoAccess, ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN, "Ability to see who uses a command even with ulx logEcho set to 1", "Other" )
Now the ability to change ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN to a custom usergroup and being able to change it to work when echo is set to 0 would be PERFECT.

[Megiddo]

Now the ability to change ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN to a custom usergroup

It's just a standard access tag.

being able to change it to work when echo is set to 0 would be PERFECT.

It's not a simple change, but it's one that you should be able to accomplish given basic Lua experience and an hour of time.
