Gm Commands and Priviliges:

[ASCENT] Server Commands

Within the accounts table, there is a field that says GM. the following codes show which letter needs to be present for the function to work. Apparently putting "az" (without quatation marks) is the equivalent to a-z, therefore enabling all commands valid on that account.

there is a Big thread like this from Tinker, it is sticked, but thanks, i guess this is updated
Great job mate

[Steph]

I have a few problems with your guide:

Q: Why do I disconnect from patch 2.3.2.7741?
A: Retract maps and dbc and your problems are fix

Wrong - it's another issue if you are crashing. Maps havent changed since 2.3.0 so they wont make a difference. DBC changes are negligible, Ive tested them with 2.3.2 DBC files and 2.3.0 DBC files with the latest revisions, the crashes happen no matter what. The answer is most probably a database or core problem.

Q: How can I raise my lv cap to 254?
A: Look in your Ascent.CONF,scroll down and look for

FOR THE LOVE OF THE CHILDREN!! Leave Genlevelcap alone. Just change 'levelcap'.

Other than that, good job and thanks for the linkies.
