Cheers very helpful

Do you mean like, one admin can kick, another can kick AND ban and so on? That's just a matter of adding the corresponding flags.

Instead of adding "z", take a look here and add the flags you want!

Hello.

I have done everything you have done in the tutorial. /admin and admin don't work and /sm_admin did work but now its not I don't understand why its not working anymore...I haven't done anything to it since.

one of two things springs to mind, have you added in your configuration file exec (configuration name of the admin mods configuartion your using).cfg
or you might be typing the wrong commands as that took me a while to master:
try @admin or @menu either or should trigger the menu... if this doensnt work and all above is right, probably your admins and permissions might be wrong....

Hi I just opened my account today and I'm still having trouble with getting the admin status
I installed plug- ins in this order
First the Warcraft plug-in - I tried to edit the admin file as showed - but couldn't get admin status ingame.
Then I saw this tutorial and installed the sourcemod admin and followed the steps.
Still can't get admin status. When typing admin in console I get something like "not authorized". @admin, !admin, sm_admin, @menu are all unknown commands.

this is the confiq:
////////////////////////////////
// Examples: (do not put // in front of real lines, as // means 'comment')
//
// "STEAM_0:1:16" "bce" //generic, kick, unban for this steam ID, no immunity
// "!127.0.0.1" "99:z" //all permissions for this ip, immunity value is 99
// "BAILOPAN" "abc" "Gab3n" //name BAILOPAN, password "Gab3n": gets reservation, generic, kick
//
////////////////////////////////

"STEAM_0:0:328382" "99:z" //HeadShot

Can anyone give me a clue to what I'm doing wrong ?

Thx

1. make sure you DONT have more than one admin system installed as that causes problems in its self.
2. Try adding your IP initaly, and then use the in game pop up system to add your steam id and your pals, as often this is the easyer way as more commenly from what I have seen steam ids that have been added by hand dont work, Ip's are easyer to add, then simply reboot the server, go in game and then use the commands and make yourself an admin by steam (as some ip's change on almost a daily basis)

Did you restart the server? No changes will be made until you've changed map or restarted.

I have restartet the server several times. I also removed the Warcraft plugin to see if that what the cause of the problem.
How should I insert the IP ? just put in instead of the steam ID ?

Thx for taking the time guys..

Where are you putting that admin information? What file?

beauty I might try find/link a system a found that worked for both meta and mani, and it was a script that basically did the work for you... maybe it could make situations like this disappear... Ill look to see if I can find it...
