adding an admin

Post by FAST »

I was wondering if any of you knew how to add admin using an rcon command? There are plugins that allow you to add ingame but rather have the ability to using rcon.

Thanks

You should edit the config files directly, or use an admin management system like sourcebans.

A discussion here mentions security vulnerabilities if there was a way to do it via RCON: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=86377

Not sure if the functionality was ever added though, that post is from 2009.

Hey

Yeah I use sourcebans but its unreliable. I can't effectively add an admin or ban someone with it since it TF2 uses old steam IDs. I had more issues before I got almost of all of them fixed.

Have you tested adding admins etc? Sourcebans interfaces with sourcemod, which converts IDs back and forth if needed.

I currently use sourcebans just fine with my TF2 servers.

Hey

I'm a little confused because it won't take anything but steam ID not [u: IDs

Also are you able to ban people using sourcebans web? For me bans only work once you kick them out.

hey

Thanks for link.

Unfortunately I did not seem to find anything on my last issue which is the ban does not stick (using sourcebans webadmin) unless you kick them after the ban. Any advice?

Thanks again
