@shutdown command

[EvilPuncker]

I would like to suggest an in-game safe method to shutdown the server, my ideas for the command follows:

@shutdown <time in minutes>

so an admin would use for example @shutdown 5

then there will start a broadcast every 1 minute telling "Server is going down in X minutes, we will come back soon." and then it would kick all players then save them and finally close map,login and char servers.

don't flame telling that it is possible to make it manually via X or Y way, my suggestion is that, if you don't like just leave since i'm not going to argue with anyone xd

Uh... @mapexit?

[EvilPuncker]

Uh... @mapexit?

close map,login and char

hope it is clear enough?

[Euphy]

It's inherently insecure to allow closing login/char servers through a mapserver command, especially since you can run multiple mapservers per login. o.o

[EvilPuncker]

that was just an idea =D they can make it secure btw

[KeiKun]

No for me

for me...

its lame.. cause no RO Server(ofc) will do maintenance (server side)

without accessing the server where is it hosted...

btw

why you want 3 of them to go exit automatically?

i think killing login and char is safe when you do it manually or possible

send delay time after map server goes down to char then login or login to char (whatever)

Automatic countdown...

But that's something you can do via script. Trigger it via a whisper or some kind of NPC that only Administrators can access it, and when you trigger, it will announce in how much time (~~APROX) the server may be offline.

Like this...

- script Shutdown -1,{
end;

OnWhisperGlobal:
if( getgmlevel() < 60 )
end;
if( @whispervar0$ == "stop" )
{
stopnpctimer;
announce "-- Server Shutdown canceled by Game Master --",0,0xFFA500;
end;
}

if( set(.Minutes, atoi(@whispervar0$)) <= 0 )
end;

initnpctimer;
announce "-- Server Shutdown in " + .Minutes + " minute(s) --",0,0xFFA500;
end;

OnTimer60000:
set .Minutes, .Minutes - 1;
announce "-- Server Shutdown in " + .Minutes + " minute(s) --",0,0xFFA500;
if( .Minutes == 1 )
{.
end;
}

initnpctimer;
end;

OnTimer90000:
announce "-- Server Shutdown in 30 seconds --",0,0xFFA500;
end;

OnTimer100000:
announce "-- Server Shutdown in 20 seconds --",0,0xFFA500;
end;

OnTimer110000:
announce "-- Server Shutdown in 10 seconds --",0,0xFFA500;
end;

OnTimer115000:
announce "-- We will be back soon. Bye bye --",0,0x00BFFF;
end;

OnTimer120000:
atcommand "@mapexit";
end;
}

Well what I meant was that but, closing map, login and char manually though.

It is not safe to close all servers, @mapexit will do the job by script function. You will rain out reports about Roll Backs by your players..

Indeed. I forgot what which server I think char, but it needs some time to save up all of the character's data before it can actually be closed.

[clydelion]

yeah it is better to leave char server running so it can save all characters.

@kickall

@mapexit

That is the chain you need to follow. The kick all will forcefully make the server save all characters who are online. Then you can map exit safely.

Well of course you gotta know when you can turn it off lol. It's not just like that.

It was meant to be an addon to Eden's script. But the original topic starter wants an actual command rather than a script.
