Star69 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 You need to make yourself the admin of the server. In the servers Saves folder, there is a file called serveradmin.xml. Open that file(edit the file) and there are instructions on how to make yourself and anyone else you want to be admin with various levels of authority. For yourself, you want to give yourself level 0 to be full admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormierant Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 I did all that but it still wont let me do anything. I followed all the instructions to the letter. Loaded into the server and still no go. Mabe I'm doing something wrong ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Let’s make sure you are doing things correctly. In order to issue admin commands, you hit F1 to open the conole then you type dm then enter. You should see a response that dm was successful. If typing dm was unsuccessful, then there must be something wrong in the serveradmin.xml. So firstly, was the dm command successful?? You can’t issue admin commands until you’ve entered dm successfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormierant Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 IT still says denied. so no it was not successful. I input all the info under the admin tab in the xmlsave config folder. In my server in g portal. Restarted the server and nothing. The line I used was in the example given I copy and paste the line and filled in the info needed I seriously don't understand where I went wrong. <!-- <user steamID="76561198021925107" name="Hint on who this user is" permission_level="0" /> --> put my steamID in the relevant slot and name in where name should be. It might be that the name is my steam name and not in game name ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Put this in your serveradmin.xml file: <user SteamID="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" permission_level="0" /> where xxxxxxxxxxxx is your steam id; you don't need to put your name. The quotation marks are needed and there is an extra space after "0" before /> This is copied directly from my own server file so I know that it works. If you have entered this correctly, when you join the server, on the player list your name is preceded by star. If there is no star, there's a syntax error in your serveradmin.xml file. That file also shows at which admin level you get certain commands. Let me know if this works. your name is optional so let's keep it out for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormierant Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Is is saves\serveradmin.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yes. There should be a folder named Saves on your server. Inside that folder is serveradmin.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
