Any Admin Info?

(ZeroLG) #1

Hi, can anyone provide some information about how you admin a server with regard to kicks incase a numpty joins your server?

For exmaple:
How do you set yourself up as an admin - do you add your steam id to a config somewhere etc?
How do you kick someone - is there an in-game menu you get for being an admin?

Answers to these questions have been speculated on prior to release, but would be good to get some hard intel now the game has been released :slight_smile:

Many thanks in advance.

From the server setup pdf:

The server has to set a password using ‘net_serverRemoteConsolePassword <password>’
The client needs to set the address of the server ‘net_clientRemoteConsoleAddress <Host IP>’
The client needs to enter the password set on the server using ‘net_clientRemoteConsolePassword <password>’

To kick a player:

  1. type ‘admin kick’
  2. leave a space after the ‘kick’ parameter
  3. hit the TAB key, and the console should show you a list of all players and their corresponding client indices.

From other threads:

Add +com_allowconsole 1 to launch options of Brink in steam to enable console.

Fire up Brink, open console(~), type these:

net_clientRemoteConsoleAddress IP:PORT

net_clientRemoteConsolePassword PASSWORDHERE

Then type rcon COMMAND

Example:

rcon admin kick 0: PLAYERNAME

This does not work, it tells me I do not have permission to use the command, We really really need a stand alone rcon tool. The console is painful to try and use at best.

admin kick does not work unless you yourself ARE the server. If you are connected to another box and you are the client, you need to use RCON commands

try
rcon admin kick

also make sure you have your rcon password set on the server and on your client.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to display client index numbers…

I just tyoppe admin kick and hit tab. It will display the list of players with I’d. I then arrow back and type rcon in front of the command.
