A quick guide on using the adminlist.txt file on your server

If you already know and understand SteamIDs then you will fly through this! if not then no worries I will cover how to get these and where to place them.

Finding SteamIDs

You will need to find out your or the players Steam64ID which you can do so easily here on this link: https://steamid.io/

Simply enter their name in the lookup box and grab the id on the line: steamID64 e.g. 76561197967057037

If you do not know what to enter, you can also find out the ID within the Web Console or Log Viewer in the control panel.

When the player connects that you want to find out their ID it will show up like this:
Got connection SteamID 76561197967057037

You can also find out in-game! If you hit F2 in the 'Players' section you will see the players name and ID.

Adding it to your adminlist.txt file

Simply put the ID on a new line e.g like the image below!

adminlist.txt file

// List admin players ID  ONE per line
76561197967057037

Click 'Save & Exit' and restart your server! You or the player will now be an admin!

Using the new found administrator powers!

To use the in game admin menu, you need to ensure you have configured the launch option in Steam!
