Mistlands Update: Still No Admin Cheats for Dedicated Servers

[Nadayan]

Still gotta install a mod to add admin cheats to my server again.. These are essential when the time comes of someone losing their entire inventory due to the server losing connection with the client and said client has died during the connection. It would be a pain for said client to get what they had lost due to a server issue (my server) by crafting it all once more.

Also I forgot how annoying Shamans are, then I found out.

just add the console commands to your server. -Console in the start up follow this up by pressing F5 and enable the cheats, if you feel you are forced to use cheats. On top of that playing with players allows it to become easy enough in my opinion in order to retrieve lost gear. I had to escort a friend 3 times to their body to ensure we were able to retrieve their stuff from the Mistlands. Of course in the end your choices are your own and I hope you find a solution to this problem!

Console commands? How? That would be a refresher. devcommands don't work in dedicated as far as I know atm. And yeah, while over time it becomes easier, but I usually like the easy option. "Oh you lost all of your character skills and items?" *waves wand* tada

"-console" doesn't apply to the dedicated server, only the game client. The console pulled up by F5 is only available in the client and the list of commands it recognizes is dependent on the connection "context" (are you playing on a map launched directly from your client or are you connected to a server/remote user?). "devcommands" (which is unlisted in "help" in any context) is only vanilla-available in the "client" context. You have to use a mod to make it (and all the advanced commands it opens up) available in all contexts, including remote/dedicated-server.

This behavior is generally beneficial. There are threads on this forum where server owners have been victimized by supposed-friends vandalizing maps using mod-activated devcommands.

Yeah the problem with SK Commands mod is that you can just install and go into the config and enable it. I had the big brain idea to make sure whoever joins the server downloads the "client" modpack which takes out SK Commands.
