release Fixing The Alignment Command In Game Server

[Andromeda]

Greetings! I've come across a function that I believe would be a valuable addition to any game server. This guide focuses on a fix for the /set alignment command, which ensures players receive the intended alignment rank regardless of their current status.

The Issue at Hand

When a Game Master (GM) uses the command /set playername align 20000, if the player currently has an alignment of, say, -20000, they will not attain the Knight rank as expected. Instead, the command adds 20000 to their existing alignment, resulting in a Neutral rank. This adjustment allows GMs to set a player's alignment directly to the specified value without considering the player's current alignment.

In short, if a player has an alignment of -20000 and you input the command /set playername align 20000, they should receive the Knight rank.

Implementation Steps

To implement this fix, you need to make a small modification in the game source code. Follow the steps below:

1. Open cmd_gm.cpp: This file contains the command-handling functions for GM commands.

This change ensures that the specified alignment value is applied correctly, overriding the player's current alignment.

By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that GMs have the ability to assign the correct alignment rank to players effectively. This modification enhances the overall functionality of your game server and improves the user experience.
