Authorization Code

[Andy619]

I have successfully created my shard and it says enter a Authorization Code, I've typed .setauthcode and it asking me for an old code,I can't use many commands without this, please help

This was dealt with here - thread title is Problem with authorization.

Normally I don't rag on people who don't search the forums before posting their problem but that thread is just below the one you just started.

None of that fixes my enquiry

[Yukiko]

So you made the modification I posted at the end of that thread and recompiled and it still gives you an error?

Auth Code is a GProp, try to erase global property, use this simple cmd:

Code: Select all

use uo;
use os;

program textcmd_erasevar( who, propertyname )

    var res := EraseGlobalProperty( propertyname );
    if (res != error)
        SendSysMessage( who, "Property " + propertyname + " erased." );
    else
        SendSysMessage( who, "Error erasing property: " + res.errortext );
    endif

endprogram

The prop name is "CA", this is the solution

Cheers!

I sorted it now just gotta find some scripts for commands

[Yukiko]

Look under \pol\pkg\commands or under \pol\scripts\textcmd

I can't remember if the POL 0.99 "Distro" has any commands under \pol\scripts\textcmd
That might have been deprecated in favour of the new scheme.

You might want to use .setauthcode so you can use cmd. While at it, this should be disable in the distro...

Those having problems with this get the latest security.inc from SVN ( scripts/include/security.inc )
I added there a constant AUTHCODE_ENABLED by default 0 to disable this system, change it to 1 if you want to use this protection

For those who want to use this and are having problems with old code unknown just add "EraseGlobalProperty( "CA" ); to scripts/start.src and recompile

[Yukiko]

Thanks Tomi.
