Allow Negative - Change individual players

[arigorn]

Good afternoon,

I've looked through settings and don't see a possibility to specifically allow certain players to go into a negative balance or disallow others.

Is this a feature I'm overlooking?

It applies to everyone. I recommend not using that. It was a bad idea going back to version 2.

It's actually working out really well, because everyone is in charge of their own balance. So, in general I love the feature. The problem is some players are getting so far behind, we want to cut off their ability to continue buying in.

I guess we'll have to consider reworking the system.

And hence the problem. Some will just start pushing all-in every hand because reloads are free.

There are settings (System -> Chip Settings) you can enable to give players a starting balance and let them top that off by request with a limit on how often.

I don't suppose you could put a limit as to how far down in the hole someone (or everyone) could go?

Currently I'm just adding a credit in manually and adjusting it later but I'd like to see an option of "Maximum -X chips" or something.

That would require a database modification to track, which I only like to do on major version releases.

Even for a global negative?
If so, damn.

Player account data is saved in the Accounts.db file. It would require modifying the database structure and inserting a new field.
