adding admins

[hostel]

hi nice forum ive been trying to add admins to my server following sinexs posts but i keep getting an error when i type in rcon ma_client addclient name im getting unknown command any idears on whats going on many thanks

[Mr.Bob]

1: Creat a clients.txt file or a adminlist.txt and a immunitylist.txt I use the clients so I only have one file to edit.

2: In clients.txt add in

"clients.txt"
{
"version" "1"

// This key group lists all your client players
"players"

// This must be a unique client name
"Client_1"
{
// Client Mr. Bob
"name" "Client_1"
// Steam ID for client
"steam" "STEAM_0:0:XXXXX"
// These are personal access flags for a player
"flags"
{
"Immunity" "insert immunity flags here"
"Admin" "insert admin flags here"

}
}
{
// This must be a unique client name
"Client_2"
{
// Client Mr. Bob 2
"name" "Client_2"
// Steam ID for client
"steam" "STEAM_0:0:XXXXX"
// These are personal access flags for a player
"flags"
{
"Immunity" "insert immunity flags here"
"Admin" "insert admin flags here"

}
}
}
}

Changes with every admin.

Changes with the admin as needed.

Feel free to add more than 2 admins. In the las set of "}" there are 4 "}", just insert the new admin section in the middle of the 4 "}" and add 2 at the end to get the 4 "}" back.

3: Adminlist.txt:

// Replace the below Steam ID with your own. Notice there is no // in front of the Steam ID

STEAM_0:0:1234567

4: Admingroups.txt:

// Add your admin group flags here
//
//
// ADDING FLAGS MEANS YOUR ARE STOPPING ADMINS FROM USING
// THOSE OPTIONS UNLESS YOU HAVE mani_reverse_admin_flags set to 1
// in your autoexec.cfg
//

"No Rcon Or Sound" rp
"Level 2 Access" bxy

5: Immunitygroups.txt:

// ADDING FLAGS MEANS YOUR ARE MAKING ADMINS IMMUNE TO THOSE OPTIONS
// THOSE OPTIONS UNLESS YOU HAVE mani_reverse_immunity_flags set to 1
// in your autoexec.cfg
//
// An example would be if you wanted to setup a group that cant be
// banned or kicked
//
// "No Kick Or Ban" bk
//
//
// Another example would be if you wanted to setup a group
// that can't be abused by the fun management
//
// "NoFun" jilftdg
//
// In your immunitylist.txt you simply use the group names instead of the
// flags, this makes it easier to manage admins

"NoFun" jilftdg
"No Kick Ban" bk

6: Immunitylist.txt:

// Add your IP's Steam addresses, Names and Passwords or immunity groups
// in this file for immunity
//
//
// e.g STEAM_0:0:21233123
// 213.44.33.47
//
// ADDING FLAGS MEANS YOUR ARE MAKING ADMINS IMMUNE TO THOSE OPTIONS
// THOSE OPTIONS UNLESS YOU HAVE mani_reverse_immunity_flags set to 1
// in your autoexec.cfg
//
// An example would be if you wanted a user
// with steam id STEAM_0:0:2388333
// to be immune from being banned or slayed
//
// STEAM_0:0:2388333 mb // User can't be banned or slayed
//
// Another example
// STEAM_0:0:3389333 ilf // User can't be blinded slapped or frozen
//
//
// You can also use immunity groups instead of flags, you setup immunity groups
// in the immunitygroups.txt file then use them in this file.
// For example if you setup a group called "No Kick or Ban" and "NoFun" you would set it per
// player like this:-
//
// STEAM_0:0:1234234 No Kick Or Ban // Fred
// STEAM_0:0:234884 NoFun // Jim
//
//
// If you wanted an user to be created by IP Address you
// set your entry to be in the format
//
// ;IP Address flag
//
// Example
//
// ;213.133.76.58 mb // User can't be banned or slayed
// ;113.124.36.2 ilf // User can't be blinded slapped or frozen
//
// If you want to have a user created by both steam ID and IP address you
// use the format STEAM_ID;IP_ADDRESS flags
//
// Example
//
// STEAM_0:1:877489;231.192.67.5 ilf // User can't be blinded slapped or frozen
//
// IMPORTANT NOTES !!!!
//
// If you only use an IP Address, the character ';' MUST be directly in
// front of it.
//
// There must be a space between the steam ID/IP Address and restriction flags
// or the plug-in will assume that it is part of the Steam ID/IP Address
//
// Another alternative to using a steam id is a name and password
//
// The format of this is ;;"name";password flags
//
// For example I would use
//
// ;;"Mani";maniadminplugin ilf // User can't be blinded slapped or frozen
//
// In order to use the password, put
//
// setinfo _password mypassword
//
// in your config.cfg file in your client installation.

adminlist.txt is better

[Mr.Bob]

Not denying it, just that I don't use it. I don't want to take the time to edit two .txt files when Clients.txt works just as well.

[CaRnAgE!]

you would only need to use the adminlist.

[Mr.Bob]

But then if you want immunity you need the immunity list, right?

[CaRnAgE!]

yep. immunitylist is even easier than adminlist
