Request: Teamspeak 3

[xcalibur]

Is Teamspeak 3 going to be supported in v2? If so does anyone have a config for it?

What about a Teamspeak 3 perm reset function so the user themselves can reset all the permissions to default if they lock themselves out?

[Steve-TGM]

When Luis adds the reinstall feature, the client will be able to reinstall the server back to default and this would then fulfill your request?

[LFA]

They can create a new admin token using the teamspeak browser.

When Luis adds the reinstall feature, the client will be able to reinstall the server back to default and this would then fulfill your request?

 

no no, some clients just mess up their permissions in a major way. Sometimes they disable the ability to change their server groups, sometimes they do a module (quit) and other times they just F&%k it up. The thing is usually they do not want to lose all their channels and current users.

 

Teamspeak has a query command that allows the resetting of permissions:

 

"PERMRESET
Restores the default permission settings on the selected virtual server and creates
a new initial administrator token. Please note that in case of an error during the 
permreset call - e.g. when the database has been modified or corrupted - the virtual
server will be deleted from the database.
Permissions:
b_virtualserver_permission_reset
Syntax:
permreset
Example:
permreset
token=eKnFZQ9EK7G7MhtuQB6+N2B1PNZZ6OZL3ycDp2OW
error id=0 msg=ok"

 

By adding this simple command to a "Reset your server" button much like the reinstall your server that most game servers have this will reduce the workload on a lot of hosting providers.

 

Also Luis sometimes some people lock themselves out of their server, lose administrator and have disabled the ability to use keys for the default group. They have some delusional fantasy that this is uber protection.

Code snippet was a mile long.

[LFA]

If the reinstall feature deletes the service and creates it again with the same port does Teamspeak bill you for one service or 2?

[Steve-TGM]

I believe they only bill you for active servers that are running.

[Gatsu]

Yes, We have spoken with them about it already, and they do bill you for 2 servers. They have a special billing system that only gauges the "Average" amount of slots used. For example, say you have 2 50 slot servers and you need to reinstall their server on the 15th of the month.

 

if you have the proper uptime all month, you are only going to be billed for 2 25 slot servers even though both were 50 slots. Does this make sense? 1 server was up for half the month so it is only billed for half its size. The same goes for the other.

 

Even then, having the permreset feature would eliminate that confusion as well, due to the fact that the unique ID and and server id remain the same... from what we understand of the permreset. So instead of making a whole new server it just resets the permissions and makes a new key.

Clarification and grammar

[Gatsu]

It will also lead to happier customers. We would say that 90% don't want to recreate all of their channels, icons and other files that they have uploaded to the server (if you have ftp enabled).

 

it really is a much better option.

Our grammar is off today.

[LFA]

I didn't know about permreset command. I will add it as an action available for admins in the next update.

[Steve-TGM]

Sounds good TYTY

[WolwX]

This "link" permreset can be really usefull I think too
