Server commands not working

[GirthQQuakes]

I'm renting a server from Bluefang. It wont recognise me as server admin since A11. It says " command 'lp' denied for player Theodore"

I know how to use the serveradmin.xml and add myself as an level 0 admin, and all of that.

Anyone have any ideas, I know I'm not the only one having this problem.

Without seeing your serveradmin.xml it is hard to say.

Others most certainly do have it working on various hosts and dedicated server configurations. I know, even helped someone fix theirs.

If you see anything that needs fixing let me know. My Stead64 id is typed into the admin slot, also tried moderator, neither worked.

I see a few issues:

• You only put your ID in either admin or moderator, not both (probably admin since it is your server and you'd likely want highest access).
  
• You didn't uncomment the line
  
• there is nothing private about your SteamID, anyone can look it up in all forms: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197963773765
  
• You didn't uncomment which commands you'd like to have accessible.

As such, you need to change one line:

Find:
<!-- <admin steamID="xxx" permission_level="0" /> -->
Replace:
<admin steamID="76561197963773765" permission_level="0" />


Find:
<!-- <permission cmd="dm" permission_level="1" /> -->
<!-- <permission cmd="kick" permission_level="2" /> -->
<!-- <permission cmd="ban" permission_level="2" /> -->
<!-- <permission cmd="lp" permission_level="2" /> -->
Replace:
<permission cmd="dm" permission_level="1" />
<permission cmd="kick" permission_level="2" />
<permission cmd="ban" permission_level="2" />
<permission cmd="lp" permission_level="2" />

I'd really suggest keeping dm at level 0 though.

I dont remember having to uncomment the lines before, I'll give it a shot. Thanks Red!
