<div class="IPBDescription">others are fine..</div> For some reason in 2.0 us admins are not getting the admin icons. We can see constellation icons, playtester icons, veteran icons but us poor admins dont get the admin icon.
It's not a major problem but I was wondering if it were wide spread or just us ?

But then when peoplo are playing I get the CD icon instead sike the rest of the players. I thought that the Admin Icon had higer priority sa players could see that an Admin was playing.
Why because. I can join my full server and after 5 minutes a admin icon will appear then i can join it again later on and not get an admin icon at all for the whole game
The admin icons Ownz! =)
Make sure your server can use port 80 as it needs to download the web page with the list of wonids in it.
Server icons worked for me when I tested it, although I dont use them anymore as I prefer my constellation icon. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
It appears that people who have cheating death as required are suffering this problem as the serverop icon is overwritten by the cd icon.
Posibly the devs can comment as to whether this is a recognised problem and if they intend to sort it out at some point ??
The Constellation icons seem to work all the time, irregardless of whether the admin icons are working or not. Last night a Constellation member came on and we saw the icon next to his name, even though none of us admins had anything.
Does anyone know if you are a Constellation member and also a server op/admin which icon you'll see? I fit into this category... I'm a member but also the server op. However, when the icons aren't working, I don't have the admin icon or the constellation icon.
Icons as a whole seem to be really whacked out!
Shows the Constelation icon just fine, no admin icon, and yes, it is configured <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
For admin icons make sure of the following:
In server.cfg
mp_uplink 1
mp_serverops "adminwonid;adminwonid;adminwonid"
Your won Id has to be in the mp_serverops section of the server.cfg (It might have been deleted when the server was upgraded to 2.0 , Also if you just replaced the server.cfg that came with 2.0 with your config from 1.04 they removed the mp_authicons and replaced it with the mp_uplink)
Once that is done dont forget you have to type auth in console when you connect to the server. Join a team. It usually appears once you are in the game.
Some server firewalls will not allow the Constellation, playtester, vertran, and dev icons to register. Admin Icons should always work if everything is configured correctly because they are loaded from the server and require no off server authentification.
I hope this helps a few of you.

My server is fine.. but as eaglec said, Is a problem with the C-D required..
The icon admin shows, but is "overwritten" by the C-D icon...
Well.. if the server had C-D required, the Admin would obviously know this, and will run the C-D before the game...
But, if he (me... lol) want the Admin icon (ONLY the admin icon), what he is supposed to do ? (wait a "fix" fom NS team, or there is some way to change the priority of the icons ? (like using metamod in some way?))
thanks =)
If "auth" is a server command, can it be set through autoexec.cfg and just forgotten about? The admin icons seem to appear even in the ready room, and I think that happens without doing any client-side commands. Could be wrong, though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
For me the Admin icon gets overwritten when I join an ongoing game. If I join when the server is empty I get the admin icon. So its definetly has something to do with CD.
Also, mine seemed to take a bit of time and just magically showed up. I'm wondering if this has to do with any kind of external authentication. I am not familiar with the 'auth' command, mine just started working several hours after .cfg was modified and server was restarted. New additions have had the same effect so far (show up within 24 hrs or so of being added).
Are all of them are listed in the mp_serverops Cvar?
Auth was a client side command. Perpahs 2.0 does automatically do it. I had an admin mod plugin that used to auto auth on my server.
You can check still by typing auth in console because it still toggles it on and off.
I think most problems are in the server.cfg mp_serverops if you missing the " " or the ; it borks the whole system.
Also perhaps its a Linux issue, Im running windows XP.
I have my autoexec.cfg set to automatically connect via rcon at start. Is this comperable to 'auth'-ing from the client console?
Did you host a server during the 1.1->2.0 beta?
The icon's are only given to those who were involved in the beta test's and constellation.
If not, then this is the answer to your problems.
Also, the server has to authenticate with the ns.org website about the icon's and such.
Which the icon's only work for the playtesters/admins of 2.0 and constellation people.
Oh, then I must be mistaken <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Although I have never looked at the source code. I believe the auth command was just a way of telling the server to check the mp_serverops config and return the icon if the won id for the user authing is listed. I know that My admin icon takes some time to show up sometimes and thats why I said on the last page that you need to join a team. I have had it show up right away in the ready room but it always shows up right away when I join a team.
I also wonder if it has anything to do with the version of HLDS your running?
As others have said, "mp_authicons" has been removed. "mp_servericons" has never existed.

mp uplink is set to 1
I don't get any icons
and my auth icons were all working in 1.04 and I've got it all setup perfectly.... <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
