Adding Areas

You can add and configure different areas in your server in areas.ini. The basic layout of an area is the header, containing the ID and name of an area, followed by the area's options.

• [id:name]
  • The area ID and name. Areas are ordered numerically ascending based on their IDs. Area 0 will be the first area users enter.
• background
  • The starting background of an area. This should be one of the options within config.txt.
  • Default value: gs4.
• bg_locked
  • Toggles whether the background is locked, allowing only moderators to change it. Set to true to lock the background.
  • Default value: false.
• protected_area
  • Toggles whether users are allowed to gain CM status in the area. Set to true to restrict CM status.
  • Default value: false.
• iniswap_allowed
  • Toggles whether iniswapping is allowed in the area. Set to false to disallow iniswapping.
  • Default value: true.
• evidence_mod
  • Sets the evidence_mod in the area. Permitted values are:
    • ffa: Anyone can add, edit, or remove evidence.
    • mod: Only moderators can add, edit, or remove evidence.
    • cm: Only CM users can add, edit, or remove evidence.
    • hidden_cm: The same as CM, but CM users can also give evidence to certain positions, hiding it from others, until the evidence is presented.
  • Default value: ffa.
• blankposting_allowed
  • Toggles whether IC messages consisting only of blank spaces are allowed. Set to false to disable blankposting.

• force_immediate
  • Toggles immediate text processing in the area. Set to true to force all text to play regardless of pre-animations.
