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?

Let's hope that gets sorted soon

OK to summarize:

Neither "AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt" nor "PlayersJoinNoCheckList.txt" works in any of these locations:

- /ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64
- /ShooterGame/Saved/Config
- /ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer

Regardless of if SteamID64 is used or if EOS ID is used.

----

I'm also having the issue where the "EnableCheats xxxxxx" command in-game doesn't work at all (no error shown, but further cheat commands don't work). Also when I use ?ServerPassword=xxxxxxx? argument in server launch then whenever anyone tries to join my dedicated server their game screen just goes black and they have to alt+f4 to close the game. Anyone else having these problems?

Currently I don't see any way to secure my server. I can see from the console log someone joining (their EOS and external IP) but have no way to kick them (commands in the server console don't do anything), no way to lock the server with a password, and no way to whitelist allowed players.

Any other ideas other than sit and wait for devs to fix joining features?

I think i got an ASA Server with working Whitelist. Your just add to .bat file:
-exclusivejoin=EOSID-Player1,EOSID-Player2,EOSID-Player3, etc.

Without it it wont let me join. With this the server let me join.

Nevermind. Now tested with others. It still not working.

This did work for me, though have only tested with my account so far.

Not managed to make it work either but there's gotta be a way because the patch notes from last night's server update said "fixed issue with admins not able to join full servers"

This leads me to believe there's a method and it's changed because yeah how broken would it be if the only way to be an admin is to type the password into the in game console if you can't even get into your own server?

PlayersJoinNoCheckList.txt Does get read when the server first launches, but I cannot get the server to create that file. I haven't tested this, but I believe that ASA will load that file once at startup and any EOSID's listed in that file should be allowed to join a full server.
This is different than the -exclusivejoin issue that we all have been trying to figure out.

Anyone figured this out? Wanting to make myself admin always on my server along with a few others - is it the PlayersJoinNoCheckList.txt in the saved folder?

According to procmon, ASA looks for the file here: - /ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64

to whitelist as admin Just add AdminListURL"url" to GameUserSettings under [ServerSettings] Create a .text file with your EOS ID and host it online I use GistGithub, click on raw and Copy the link pointing directly to the .text file containing the EOS ID. and paste it in AdminListURL="the urlyoucopied" hope it helps.

Can I just put that file on my dedicated machine and link it to the file locally or do I have to host the file with the EOS data?

Thanks for helping!!

If you run a web server yes, you can host the .text file locally

[H4RV∞]

if you mean like creating a .text file and have somewhere in the directory of your machine no, as it need a url to read the raw text/EOS IDs from.
