Admin and Exclusive join lists

[Lechucckk]

Hey all, ive setup my own non-dedicated server and wanted to do what i did on ASE which was to add an exclusive join list to password isnt required and an admin list.

seeing that things look similar to ASE as far as folder and file location is concerned ive tried putting the text files where you would expect them to work (\ShooterGame\Saved) but they dont.

has anyone managed to get those working at all? have i put them in the right place?

I've also run into the same issue and would like to know if it's currently possible. Thanks.

\ShooterGame\Saved\config
is the right path

edit:
ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows
I forgot something

For the "AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt" file, right?
I have mine there, isn't granting me admin rights by default.

\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64 is the correct path for the "PlayersExclusiveJoinList.txt" file, right? That isn't working for me either.

Unfortunately, I'm also stumped because I don't use it myself, but I can tell you that, in my experience, there don't seem to be any txt files anymore. So far there are only the ini files and they are all there without exception
ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows
to find

Nice one guys, I was almost right. I'll give it a go a get back to you

I've copied settings from ASM (additional files and command placement) and it does work to enable the setting, just the whitelisting part is off. I had to create the text files myself and put them in the location of the dedicated server exe similar to how ASE was.

ASA has a UUID system you can see in dedicated logs but neither that nor SteamID works for whitelisting. I get the same "you are not authorized to join this server" or w/e. I switched to boring password for now.

I can even get that much. if i place the whitelist in the right location and remove myself i still get in and i cannot for the life of me get admin working either.

same here, "not authorized" I wonder if the developers changed the name of the file, the path or forgot to update it to use the new EOSid instead of SteamId64.

Yeah, perma-admins and whitelist would be good ASAP tbh.

Looking at the files ASA accesses when starting up (using Procmon), only the PlayersJoinNoCheckList.txt and BanList.txt files are accessed. That's probably why neither the exclusive join or allow cheater files are working.

Ok makes sense. Hopefully this will be added at some point or some guide on how to use it

Oh... just seen a reddit post saying that steam ids are nolonger used and its now EOS id's...

To find those go into single player and then console and type whoami. I expect its the long code that comes up in the c9nsole for the server. Also I'm wondering if the commands in the server console work.

Will give both a go tonight and post results.

I saw that post earlier. Unfortunately that didn't work for me either.

Based on the fact the files aren't accessed at all while the server is running, I'd say the joining features aren't working at the moment.
