Frequently Asked Questions#

How do I become Head Admin?#

Connect to your game server and be the first to enter !iamgod in the global game chat.

Someone entered !iamgod before me! How to fix this?#

Once the !iamgod command was used, it is no longer available.

Stop Spunky Bot and delete the database file data.sqlite. Then make sure no one is on your game server, restart Spunky Bot and be the first to enter !iamgod in the global game chat.

Tip

Use the following sequence of commands to delete the database file:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/spunkybot stop
$ sudo rm /opt/spunkybot/data.sqlite
$ sudo /etc/init.d/spunkybot start

If you do not want to delete your database file, you can remove the user from the Head Admin group by editing the database. To do this, you need a tool to connect to your database.

Why doesn't Spunky Bot respond to my commands?#

If Spunky Bot seems to ignore your commands, follow the instructions to identify the problem:

  • restart Spunky Bot
  • connect to your game server
  • type !help in the global game chat

How do I add administrators?#

Use the command !putgroup to add a player using the name or ID to one of the admin groups, in this example to the Full Admin group:

!putgroup <name|id> fulladmin

Spunky Bot has several user groups, each serving a specific purpose.

Spunky Bot responds slow to my commands#

If Spunky Bot reads the game server log file, your game log file might not be updated in real-time by the game server.
Check your game server settings according to the instructions in the game configuration section.
