Universe Admin: Citizen Settings

The optional [citizen] section of the universe.ini file allows the control of a couple of additional universe options.

Specifying "international=1" in the [citizen] section enables the use of multi-byte characters in citizen names. Normally the UniServer is fairly restrictive in the set of characters it will allow to be used in citizen names. However, this restriction will prevent the use of many characters in multi-byte character sets such as Japanese and Chinese, so this option exists to remove that restriction if desired.

Specifying "allow_changes=0" in the [citizen] section will disable the Citizen Attributes dialog in the browsers of your citizens and prevent them from making any changes to their account themselves. This is useful in a situation where you want all access to citizen account options to be controlled through another interface instead, such as a web page, and possibly be linked to an external database via the SDK.

Specifying a "bot_limit=" entry in the [citizen] section will set the default bot limit of new citizen accounts. The default bot limit is 3 if this setting is not specified. For example, to make the default bot limit 5 instead of 3:

  [citizen]  bot_limit=5
