Allow Guest-user to specify a nick name

[[GR] Cool K]

Hi All

I herby call out to the total brain capacity within this community...
:D

I would like to offer ppl who join our game server to join our Public TS2 server as well (I think it makes sense ;) )
-but I hate the idea of having several ppl logged in as guests.
Is it possible in any way to get these ppl to log into the server from a link: teamspeak://wargamer.adsl.dk and force them to assign a nick name (without having them registering on the server) :confused:

That is a tough question. Since you are having them log in from a link. I am no programmer, but I think that somewhere in the software there is a list of commands that say what the default guests name is. And then it uses it and just adds another number at the end everytime someone else connects. So I think it could be changed from Guest to what ever you wanted, but the same results would happen in the end. yourName with numbers at the end. So that would not help alot.

Now taking what you said and thinking about it.

Since they can program this nice software, they can at least have a List rather than one name that you can add your favorite names onto( Hulk Hogan, Hannible Lector, ect.. ) :)

So that when someone joins they have a default name, but they will recieve a default name on your list.(1 -10) So if you have 10 names on a list, and 11 guests join, the 11th guest would be randomly picked(1-10) but still have a number after his or her name since you only have 10 names on the list. And so on and so forth. Of coarse you would be able to pick more names if you put them on that list. ;)

I would think it would be easy, but then again...I am not a programmer. :D

Thx for the reply...

...but still, it's not what I am after...
I would like them to be prompted for a nick - not to assign an automatic nick to them...

Will this require that I allow all users to register with the server as opposite of today where only I can register users... :confused:

There are some scruipts you can run from your website that does that. The all you have to do is provide your guests your URL to find it. WEBPOST2 is what I use, they have I think an ASP version, but I use the PHP one. If you do not have a web site with PHP enabled, let me know and I will be glad to host it for you.

Hi PureGrain...

Just dropped by to check out your website...

:eek: IT'S AWESOME :eek:

You have done a great job!

...I have a site (my own server) and it is (or at least should be) php enabled and mysql is running as well...

For some reason it seems that TS is not pushing any data to the sql/php webpost stuff (I'm totally new to this and I just followed the installation instructions).

My PostURL looks like this: PostURL=http://wargamer.adsl.dk/ts2/webpost.php

If you bother - plz take a look at http://wargamer.adsl.dk/ts2/listing.php

As you can see - nothing happends :(

Thanks for checking out the site. Glad you liked it.

OK, you must make sure that you have entered the sql into the database. I use PlesK Server Administrator for my webhosting server. SO it comes with phpMyAdmin. This makes it easier to work with your query's. If you have installed the query's from the WebPost2 software download, then you should be ok. I tried your link and same thing for me. Altho, mine is not working right now either for some reason. :(

So, I will look more into this, and If I can find anything I will shout at ya. :p

Thx - and shout away - I can't figure out what's wrong...
Hmmm - I might go through the mysql installation once more :(
