it has now been just over 2 years since tiny neon lights started blinking in a cold room in a pennsylvania colo, and hightime was born. and now hightime needs
you.
we are currently looking for admins to keep the server warm around the clock. our in situ recruiting efforts are stymied by our schedule, which allows us to be around when darkness falls in otherwise sunny california, between 9 and 12 or so, with only a few unpredictable exceptions. hopefully, this post will allow us to expand our search beyond the short list of usual suspects (you know who you are!). if you are digging this, please drop by and hang out. forum feedback is also welcome.
here's everything a hightime admin would need to know:
hightime mantra (apply whever in crisis)
if you choose to do nothing, you are doing your job.
hightime code (apply all the time)
responsibilities: none
powers: rcon
never stiffle free expression,
which includes statements of offensive
and politically incorrect opinions,
among other things.
never be rude
(which is not the same as being offensive).
never share ips or any other private gamer info
with anyone except for the hightime management,
to the extent the law permits.
never kick or ban people or bots for any reason
other than causing server instability.
admin guide (apply when pigs fly)
this is a collection of administration tips for those who actually decide to be productive (why??)
status shows gamers, ips, and ids
tell can be used to whisper to a specific id
quit kills the xonotic server, and is the preferred way to fix stability issues such as server lag. the os will cold boot xonotic server after several seconds, so it works like a restart, but more thorough.
lsmaps shows loaded maps
changelevel is a neat way of switching to a specific map without causing gamers to drop out
seta will change and archive the settings, and the changes will persist through reboots. using it is ill-advised: only the management can one-click restore screwed-up settings to git values.
