Authentication

From LowCaliberWiki, the Rune encyclopedia.

As members, we log into the server when we enter. There are a couple of reasons for this:

Nobody can impersonate you (it's happened)
To be able to do “member only” commands (eg: Mute, Kick, Nosafe)
To ensure that your stats are not tampered with by the general public.
Any other future cosiderations.

In your user.ini file, located in 'Rune\System', add the following lines under the categories shown below:

[DefaultPlayer]

password=xxxxxxx

where password=xxxxxxx is your password for lowcaliber.com. In addition edit the following line:

[Engine.PlayerPawn]

password=xxxxxxx

Due to certain limitations in Rune, the server may yet fail to recognize you automatically. If that's the case, issue the “pLogin” command. The pLogin command has three parts which you should issue in the following order, try:

pLogin by itself; if this doesn't work try
pLogin + password; if this still doesn't work try
pLogin + username + password as a last resort.

At the very worst, you may have to bind a key to issue pLogin when you get on the server; we're working on the automatic authentication process but we believe we've encountered some native limitations in the Rune code. (See Authentication Fix).

Some users also need to specify their "arena password" in their member profile on lowcaliber.com. When all else fails, don't hesitate to ask questions.
