I want to know how this site was made! :confused: And how it's connected to the server maps, if you know what i mean? No? Well, how does the game know the diffference between Student and Knight, ect? Why do only Knights+ get Admin abilities? How does it work???? How does the game Know??? AAARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! It really annoys me, not Knowing. Is it an ID or something?? A password??? I'm not saying everyone should get the Admin stuff, ect, but how does the computer recognise the ranks?

I also found this. :P

Orion didn't make the mod. cHoSeN-oNe originally made it (with some help from people whose names I forget :P), and when he retired, he gave Orion the code and the responsibility of maintaining it.

The mod on the server is JAR, which provides seperate levels of admin access, created to suit one level for each rank here at the JA. Each rank has a different password, which once entered into the console provides the user with new console commands, such as kick etc. As far as the site goes, I would have thought the rank system works like any community website, the administrator creates groups, each with a different set of permissions, and can move any registered user from one to the other.


Exactly :)

I gave you a link to PHP.net, which should explain.

JAR is 6.39 MB and can be found here.

By the way, you don't run PHP, it's a scripting language. It's the type of language you can open in Notepad and start typing up a webpage with. :D

PHP generates HTML, so when you look at the page source, it's not PHP code, but HTML. It was an extension meaning "Personal Home Page", but has evolved into Hypertext Preprocessor. PHP was created in 1994, and has been getting better over the years. Thousands of websites now use it. Look here for more information.

With PHP, a scripting language which can do so many awesome things...

Quote:
And how it's connected to the server maps, if you know what i mean?


...such as reading information from the port the Academy servers run on and return the information.

Quote:
No?


Yes.

Quote:

It doesn't. The JAK+ have a password they use to login to the mod which all of the Academy servers run, giving them access to the such abilities they have.


Quote:
Why do only Knights+ get Admin abilities? How does it work????


Because they are trusted and have earned the position of administrating the servers.

Quote:
How does the game Know???


Read up/down!

Quote:
Is it an ID or something?? A password???


Exactly.
