Changing Admin's Name ???

[sushi]

I'd like to log in a new game as Admin, then do some changes with the Admin privileges, then rename Admin into Sushi and make Ai pilots attack Sushi.
I can't find a Ti command to do this.

Maybe an idea...
I'm going to use ouch's patcher to replace "Admin" by "Digger" in the HardwarW.exe then I'should be able to act as an admin under Digger's pilot name for my deadly scenario.
Wish me luck !

Edit :
Found those strings

0 965807 5 admin
0 1046775 73 Admin: PLANS, BLAG, PERMISSIONS, EXEC, BUILD, DESCRIBE, CREATE, TELEPORT@
0 1054259 5 Admin
0 1054267 5 Admin

So I'm willing if I could just add a line as the 1046775 to give Digger admins privileges... Any idea on how to do this ?


Edit 2 : I answer myself partially...

9.2.6 Can I script events and ‘bots? Can I redesign the game world?

In theory yes. Any command lines that may be typed into the TI (Terminal Interface) may be scripted. There are two methods.

Add lines to worldinit.txt, which are run when the game starts. This seems to be restricted by a bug to 200 lines, over which it will crash at startup (although your mileage may vary). (Comments can be added here, by starting lines with “// “.)
Send lines or text files, or run ‘bots via the TS (Terminal Server).

This works well in single player mode with beta 4 and 5, it just seems to take a little longer for the Hardwar client to respond to commands than it does when acting as a server. With beta 3, the player has to be called Admin in order for admin privileges to exist in the game. Once the game has started, get the player out of the moth and onto foot. Then log into the terminal server as Admin, using the password “admin”. The terminal screen may lag a little behind for a while, but should work again after you’ve typed in a few random commands. In beta 4 and 5, the admin can log on after a non-admin player character has started the game.

Interesting !!!

Success !

By patching this
965808 admin
1046776 Admin: PLANS, BLAG, PERMISSIONS, EXEC, BUILD, DESCRIBE, CREATE, TELEPORT@
1054260 Admin
1054268 Admin

Into this
Digger
Digger: PLANS, BLAG, PERMISSIONS, EXEC, BUILD, DESCRIBE, CREATE, TELEPORT@
Digger
Digger

With Ouch's patcher, I now have all the Admin's privileges as Digger...
I'll try to export a saved game modded and then open it with a non modded HardwarW.exe to see if the modding is persistent.
I'm planning a new scenario, involving our famous Digger that should be really harassing...

You can create a multiplayer world, create admin logout, or run another intance and create Digger then have the admin give permissions to to Digger then kill admin, save world then run save as single player, though it may ask for player name, not sure. That said, you did found Ouch's admin patcher so this post is repetitive. lol

Yes I was used to this tool by translating Hardwar into french some times ago...
By the way the translation is now the best I can do and I'll probably upload it some day.

The saved game works on a non modded HardwarW.exe so I think some script could do the same but I don't know how...

I'm still looking for a solution to create plots to make a new scenario. I'd like to make Digger's life a bit harder along the game with new unexpected enemies when all looks under control...
