How To: Add myself as admin on my server?

[Cryptic]

i host a dedicated server and every time i get on, i type in the admin add "{=Corrosion=} 1000 and it says it works in the console but in game when i try to use a command it says command not available for player corrosion????

[Cryptic]

any help is greatly appreciated

Not sure how this server works as I don't have one but, do you not need to add the accepted 'admin' in the control panel before you can then add them via the console.

I am probably way off because its been ages since I ran a server, so please feel free to ignore my comment if it don't make sense.

Hope you sort it.

Open the serveradmin.xml and edit that. Put in your steam ID under the "admin" section.

<admin steamID="YOUR_STEAM_ID" permission_level="0" />

76561198033982035 i found this to be my steamid64 what is the difference between steam id and steamid64? one of them say STEAM in front of it....do i use that one or what?

[Smokie]

Which part doesn't make sense? I can try to help you more. To add admin just replace XX with your Steam ID and remove the comment markers. You will also have to add in commands under the permission section.

EDIT: No I don't think there is a dif with steamid64 and steam id. Just follow the instructions from the website and you should be good.

ok i see it says steam 64 is what i need, but i put that in the line and it still says in the console "denying command for corr....etc" and it says not allowed for me in game

Do you use notepad++?

You see the

<!--  -->

markers? Those are "comments" and will be ignored by the server. To enable them remove the comment markers. I noticed you still have them on your permissions section.
