They don't login with their credentials on your server, they log in on Steam itself and Steam merely tells your server that their log in is valid. It does not even get the username, so it has less information than you get when they join your game.

 

Regarding your question: Exactly that scenario (map without log in) has been talked about at least two times in here and it's the basic example given on the documentation.

This map looks really nice! I would like to have this edits for my map too :)

 

Sorry for the late response (was totally working), here's the webserver files. Just drag and drop / overwrite what you currently have and you should be set but make sure you keep a backup. Only thing I'd recommend is changing the body background as it points to my site and I'm super lazy atm

Drop this into the index.html - between the <head> and </head> to refresh every 10 minutes:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">

 

Further usage, and and explanation at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh

Actually, it would be better to use something in the js like we had before where it just reloads the blocks. It's on my "to-tinker-with" list.

It's nice to have the map refreshed, but atm it reloads the whole page, so each option has to be checked again everytime (player online, claims etc.). A solution that only automates the "reload tiles" function, like before (as mentioned by SylenThunder) would be much better :)

Your webpermissions.xml should look something like this...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><webpermissions>
   <admintokens>
       <!-- <token name="adminuser1" token="supersecrettoken" permission_level="0" /> -->
   </admintokens>


   <permissions>
       <!-- <permission module="webapi.executeconsolecommand" permission_level="0" /> -->
       <permission module="webapi.getplayersonline" permission_level="2000" />
       <permission module="webapi.getstats" permission_level="1000" />
       <permission module="web.map" permission_level="2000" />
       <permission module="webapi.getlandclaims" permission_level="2000" />
   </permissions>


</webpermissions>

 

It's not serveradmin, it's a completely different file.

Well, yes... my server manager monitors all players currently online in the server for restricted items and suspicious activity, and automatically takes necessary actions. Also we store everything in a database for auditing/tracking and forensic investigations. We use it to find out who placed what item/block and when, or who was in a certain area and had X item in inventory.

Currently we have to spam si in telnet every minute. Your api would make this so much cleaner and faster

Gotcha, shouldn't be much of a problem anyway, on my list.

 

 

What type of message or error does it display when someone logs in with their Steam account with no permissions? Does it allow all Steam users map access by default?

By default: Only perm level 0 as set in your normal admins-definition, i.e. those that also have all permissions on the console. Web will show a message like "you don't have any permissions", actually the same as when you are not logged in yet (and there's no guest-permissions).

 

 

where would i put a reload time into the map page so it refreshes like it did before?

Hm, when did the map have an auto-refresh? Really can't remember about that, at least the A11 revs (and I think also A10) only had the manual reload-tiles button.

Of course auto-refresh could be added but this will also add additional overhead on the server for retransmitting the tiles over and over again.

 

 

"An error occured or you do not have any permissions on this WebPanel. Log in with the link on the lower left!"

but ive loged with steam and have the permission 0 on serveradmin.xml

*If* you are logged in with an account that *has* the permission level 0 in serveradmin.xml you should be fine. In this case I still have to assume one of those two conditions aren't met ;)

Use "admins list" in game (or network console or control panel) to get a list of defined admins and permission levels and make sure one of them shows the same SteamID (and level 0) that is also shown on the web panel on the lower left when you're logged in.

 

 

Your webpermissions.xml should look something like this...

...

It's not serveradmin, it's a completely different file.

That's only for specifying the required levels for the functions, but if he only wants perm level 0 access (default) there's no need to modify this file. He just has to have permission level 0.

The automation of the reload tiles function was done by adding this to the index.js file after line 512 

		var reloadTilesEvent = function() {
	tileTime = new Date().getTime();
	tileLayer.redraw();
	tileLayerMiniMap.redraw();
	window.setTimeout(reloadTilesEvent, 120000);
}

window.setTimeout(reloadTilesEvent, 120000);

- the reload time could be set to any value, we used the 2 minutes reload for our server. Someone posted this some months ago here in the forum, and it was a useful find.

Ah, ok, not in the official part :)

Should still work the same way though.

Oh ok, but in what *.js file I had to copy these lines now? Because there are now one separate for each function, and the index.js only contains 3 lines and looks completely different now - and I have no clue regarding js files tbh oO

Probably map.js :). I'll add it to my map and see if anything actually reloads

 

It's doing something (onno if its reloading the tiles, my players don't explore much these days :( )

 

I added the code to line 199-206 (under/inbetween getplayerslocation, which I'm sure isn't right but it seems to work?)

I managed to get it to "refresh" the tiles, but it won't actually reload them. basically it makes the map blink every 60 seconds.

 

I added the code to map.js at line 128

 

 

Thats what mine was doing as well (I moved mine to the same exact line as well)

Yeah, sorry, of course it changed a bit ;)

 

var reloadTilesEvent = function() {
var newTileTime = new Date().getTime();
tileLayer.options.time = newTileTime;
tileLayer.redraw();
tileLayerMiniMap.options.time = newTileTime;
tileLayerMiniMap.redraw();
window.setTimeout(reloadTilesEvent, 120000);
}

window.setTimeout(reloadTilesEvent, 120000);

 

This one should work, somewhere before the closing bracket in line 199 of map.js should be just fine. 128 would be fine too. Will probably add a simple control for that later on. Maybe the weekend.

Hello Alloc.

 

Just FYI, I'm getting sometimes this error, when I use rendermap command:
