Admin Server Commands

This guide contains information about Commandline Arguments for customizing your server as well as Singleplayer and Multiplayer Admin Commands.

How to use the Admin Commands

Logging in as Admin
Press Tab, or whatever you have bound your console key to and type

enablecheats <password>
example = enablecheats pass123

From here you can enter commands.

Whitelisting an Admin
This allows you to use commands without needing to login as Admin.

Create a file in the directory \ShooterGame\Saved\ called AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt
It should look like this \ShooterGame\Saved\AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt

From here, list on each line the Steam64 ID's you wish to authorize for cheat commands, these users will be able to cheat without logging in as Admin.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: You can summon a dinosaur of a certain level using this command:cheat SpawnDino <blueprintPath> <spawnDistance> <spawn-Y-offset> <Z-offset> <DinoLevel> and changing <DinoLevel> to your desired level. Find this command in the table above for a pdf contaning the dino BP list.
