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?

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.

Yeah I uploaded my EOS ID to gisthub and clicked raw copied the url in my web address, then added the AdminListURL="the urlyoucopied" in the .ini file but it still isn't working. any ideas? when I included http:// it would clear the whole link. When I removed the HTTPS:/ its kept the link but I try using EnableCheats (password) or ShowMyAdminManager and neither work. Am I missing something?

Can you kindly explain me how to do it? It doesn't work for me from the github

So - you get a gethub account.

Create a Gist https://gist.github.com/ and just put the EOD in there - example:

012105506406540564654012
0132103210321032103210321

Just like that.

click the down arrow by create secret gist

make it public

Click on raw at top right of text area

you will get this: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/fingledobe/da416e7f74c97b7b83d8368291ba3109/raw/6dd369b4fee09196d961bc10b818be1c3518fd34/gistfile1.txt

Past that link in your gameusersettings.ini like so

Example:

[ServerSettings]
DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0
AdminListURL="https://gist.githubusercontent.com/fingledobe/da416e7f74c97b7b83d8368291ba3109/raw/6dd369b4fee09196d961bc10b818be1c3518fd34/gistfile1.txt"
StartTimeOverride=False
RESTOFSERVERSETTINGS

done

You need yo paste the link you Copied in between double quotes " " AdminListURL="https://blablablablabla.text"

To read a local file do AdminListURL="file:///<path-to-file>"
ex. AdminListURL="file:///c:\ARK\myfile.txt"

Anyone get this working for an exclusive join list yet?

Just tried it again, It does activate with -exclusivejoin but doesn't read any ID's from any area to actually allow you to join. It just says your not allowed to join this exclusive session. I'm guessing it either is broken in the back end or there is a secret INI config variable just like the above AdminListURL that the server now literally only checks via URL and not locally. The above method of using the gist works flawlessly tho.

so it requires the quotes, but does it require 3 forward slashes?

This 100% works for the admin list ex:
AdminListURL="file://c:\ARK\myfile.txt"
make sure the file path is correct for you and you got it.

Are you using Steam64 I'd or eos and if eos how are you getting that id?

Hit ` twice to open the console and then type in WhoAmI. You'll get what they're calling an OSS Id which is a long string of letters and numbers. Thats what I ended up putting into the text file to make it work.

This has to be done in single player mode, it wont output anything if on a server. Its to get your UUID. Its also the same string as your character save file on the server, and the string of numbers that is output in the server console when you connect to the server.

And by twice open he means press the tilde key once and it will open a small little text window, hit it a second time it will enlarge that and show you the output of the command.

I guess I need some help with this.. This has been the only string I have found where I see forward progress hah.

I use CubeCoder's AMP Management Software to run my dedicated server. When I manipulate the the dll file to match what you guys are saying, it is erased upon startup of my server due to the software's design. I am trying to add it to the command line for startup, and that looks like:

?AdminListURL="URL TO GIST"

When I use my EOD it does not work, I just load into the server normally and have to input my admin password.

If i use my OSS number, i get banned from my server and can not join at all. Does anyone have any idea why this is? I'm trying to find a work-around until AMP updates their DLL file to allow the AdminListURL feature.

I have also tried it as a local file, and I have the same results.

since the -exclusivejoin feature works, at least to the point where it should call something and blocks everything else, im wondering if it needs a pointer to the file included in the batch string, something like-exclusivejoin="file:\\c:\\ARK\\PlayersExclusiveJoinList.txt" i have yet to try this its just something i have been thinking about all day, since its doing something but doesn't know where to look

Listing the ID's separated by commas works for me.
-exclusivejoin=EOSID-Player1,EOSID-Player2,EOSID-Player3, etc.

Have not tried giving it a URL(I), it MIGHT work though I would assume the file would need to be in a similar format.
