Admin

[BMan142]

hi. so i have a server and i want to make my friend admin (we relay suck so we cheat a lot.) but i don't know how. please help!!!

[Pyromailmann]

You can't. Also, don't triple thread post. I don't think Seth or anyone at Klei confirmed it as a feature but I do agree, I think making someone an admin would be a nice feature. Also, if you need help, there's some threads that can be helpful for surviving in DST.

It's already possible on dedicated server using the adminlist.txt file located near the settings.txt. I don't know if it works on Hosted game.

You need to find the user ID of the player (Something like KU_?????) : (Code is Case Sensitive)

for k,v in pairs(AllPlayers) do print(v.name .. ": " .. v.userid) end

Then you add it at the end of the file and restart the server.  

 

Edit: Thanks @rezecib

One little error in the console command he gave, fixed:

for k,v in pairs(AllPlayers) do print(v.name .. ": " .. v.userid) end

Also, adminlist.txt should be here:

Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether/save/adminlist.txt

You will have to create the file, though.

Or, instead of cheating, you can change the world settings, like turn down hounds, shorten winter, turn up food.

Just wanted to pop in and add confirmation to info that seems to be unknown for sure at this time.

 

First Off: Admin on Non-Dedicated Server works 100%, just tested it with my friend, I was the client.

 

So if you are the host of the server, you can have your friend join, go to your documents/klei/dontstarvetogether folder and open up your log after your friend joins..

 

Scroll to the bottom, you will see his user ID near the bottom of the log assuming you open the log AFTER he joins. 

 

the user ID will be something like KU_slkdjfLIJF

 

Once you find this, the host of the server will simply copy it inside of the log

 

Now you go to documents/klei/dontstarvetogether/save

 

Here you will right click>New>Text document (Not Rich Text)

 

Name it adminlist

 

then just hit enter and open up the adminlist.txt file you just created

 

paste the KU_lkajsdfoiHJDLKFJ and then file>save

 

close out the game completely and reopen it, now go check your log again after the game has opened. Near the top you should see admin.txt loaded... (Success)

 

if you see this, then you know it will work.

 

Now just go reopen the same server, have your friend join and as long as he hits CTRL after he opens the console with "~" (You will see "Remote:" pop up when you hit ctrl

 

Now just type in any commands like normal.

 

Confirmed commands that work for client:

 

c_godmode()

c_give("prefab")

 

most likely everything works, just make sure remote is on everytime you type a command as the client

 

Thanks for all the info everyone else, glad this works for non-dedicated servers

Question. If I want to add more than one admin name to the admin list file do I hit enter after the first name or comma/space between admin names? Thanks

[rezecib]

@jrose78, They should be on separate lines, but I believe there is a bug right now (might've just been fixed) with dedicated servers not registering more than one admin.

[afakpinar]

it will be like?

for k,v in pairs(AllPlayers) do print(v.name .. ": " .. KU_asdasfas) end

Aw, he's just trying to help. Maybe let him know what he did wrong and show him the ways of the Klei Forums?
