[GUIDE] How to add Admin - Mani Mod

ADDING ADMIN
this is the best way to add admins to your server!

1) Connect to your server

2) Log into rcon by opening your in-game console (Press the ~ key, you may need to enable console through options menu) and type:

rcon_password YOURPASSWORD

(If you do not know your server rcon password, it can be located in your "server.cfg" file)

3) Type rcon again and it should say: "autokick was disabled for <you>"

4) Type:

rcon ma_client AddClient CLIENTNAME

(This will add the client, replace CLIENTNAME with a name for your client.)

5) Now type:

rcon ma_client AddSteam CLIENTNAME "STEAM_0:1:123456789"

(Replace the Steam ID with your own or whose you are making admin.)

6) Now you need to add the admin flags, to find a full list off all flags type: "rcon ma_client aflag". These flags will give the admin certain abilities, type:

rcon ma_client AddFlag CLIENTNAME "+A +B +C +D +E +F +G +H +I +J +K +L +M +N +O +P +Q +R +S +T +U +V +W +X +Y +Z +a +admin +b +c +client +d +e +f +g +grav +i +k +l +m +o +p +pban +q +q2 +q3 +r +s +spray +t +v +w +x +y +z"

(thats every flag for admin, you can change what flags you give admins)

7) Lastly is Immunity flags, these will keep admins from being auto kicked, banned, slayed etc...
Type
"rcon ma_client iflag" for a full list of all immunity flags. Type:

rcon ma_client SetIFlag CLIENTNAME "+a +afk +autojoin +b +c +d +e +f +g +grav +h +i +k +l +m +n +o +p +ping +q +r +s +t +u +v +w +x +y"

(again thats all the flags)

8) To open the admin menu, type:

bind \ admin

so that every time you press the "\" key, it will open the admin menu, you dont have to use "\" though, you can make it any key you want.

If you had any trouble with any part of this guide, or have encountered a problem, just PM me.

Nice one, saves you from having to use FTP.... Also the thing about the flags is helpful as well.

Nice post

Nice guide! I wrote one myself on my site.

oops, noticed a small mistake: to add the admin flags u type:

rcon ma_client SetAFlag CLIENTNAME "+A +B +C +D +E +F +G +H +I +J +K +L +M +N +O +P +Q +R +S +T +U +V +W +X +Y +Z +a +admin +b +c +client +d +e +f +g +grav +i +k +l +m +o +p +pban +q +q2 +q3 +r +s +spray +t +v +w +x +y +z"

i wrote AddFlag before, its not a huge deal, i guess ppl couldve figure it out.

I can't add my admin on my server, i've followed all the steps - it says "
RCON connection failed (WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL)
Unable to connect to remote server (0.0.0.0:0)
Lost RCON connection, please retry command (UNKNOWN ERROR)"

thats prolly cause sumthing went wrong while adding the player, and ive already stated that my old guide had a flaw, so take a look at this 1, should work

any way here is what i did.

rcon ma_client AddSteam CLIENTNAME (i wasnt sure what to put here i put both my screen name and my username) "STEAM_*:*:********"
 
rcon ma_client AddFlag CLIENTNAME "+A +B +C +D +E +F +G +H +I +J +K +L +M +N +O +P +Q +R +S +T +U +V +W +X +Y +Z +a +admin +b +c +client +d +e +f +g +grav +i +k +l +m +o +p +pban +q +q2 +q3 +r +s +spray +t +v +w +x +y +z" 
 
rcon ma_client SetIFlag CLIENTNAME "+a +afk +autojoin +b +c +d +e +f +g +grav +h +i +k +l +m +n +o +p +ping +q +r +s +t +u +v +w +x +y"
bind \ admin

and when i push / it says in the console Unknown Admin

basically the clientname is a name that u will give ur self or other ppl for easy reference, for example, my in game name might be sinex+leet=i r so cool=zealousness, but my client name can just be sinex.

as for the rcon cmds, this is what u should enter:

 
rcon_password YOURPASSWORD
 
rcon
 
 rcon ma_client AddClient CLIENTNAME 
 
rcon ma_client AddSteam CLIENTNAME "STEAM_0:1:123456789" 
 
rcon ma_client SetAFlag CLIENTNAME "+A +B +C +D +E +F +G +H +I +J +K +L +M +N +O +P +Q +R +S +T +U +V +W +X +Y +Z +a +admin +b +c +client +d +e +f +g +grav +i +k +l +m +o +p +pban +q +q2 +q3 +r +s +spray +t +v +w +x +y +z"
 
 rcon ma_client SetIFlag CLIENTNAME "+a +afk +autojoin +b +c +d +e +f +g +grav +h +i +k +l +m +n +o +p +ping +q +r +s +t +u +v +w +x +y" 
 
bind \ admin

swap client name with a name for urself, USE THE SAME NAME FOR EVERY REFERENCE TO 'CLIENTNAME'
Swap the Steam ID with ur Steam ID
Swap the RCONPASSWORD with ur rcon password
