Setting owner of a dedicated server (solved)

[kloopk]

This is probably an easy one but how do i set the owner of a dedicated server.

(did a search of the forum but couldn't find similar problems.)

I have set up a srcds server running garrysmod for my son who loves to play it, he has steam on his computer.

It is not on the computer running steam so it is controled through console but I cannot find anyway to set him as server owner (DevilsNipple). he is a super admin but that is the highest level I can give him at the moment.

I am not a novice in these things and suspect it is a cant see the wood for the trees issue.

any help welcomed

What do you mean by "Owner" ?

[Nisd]

in garrysmod there is sereval user levels ingame, any ways there should be a users.txt file somewhere in that you should be able to make him owner

Can't really answer you question because I don't really understand what your asking. Care to explain more?

Sorry it was late when i posted.

basically I have setup a server and I can figure out how to set my son as owner, he is using another computer in the house and the server is not linked to a steam Id.

my users.txt only has Super Admin and Admin

"Users"
{
"superadmin" //This is a user group. Groups are useful to LUA coders.
{
"DevilsNipple" "STEAM_0:1:#######" //user in the superadmin group.
}

"admin" //Another user group.
{
"DevilsNipple" "STEAM_0:1:######" //admin power.
}
}


would the owner tag be a simple "owner" or does this user exist at all and does just being the owner make you the owner..

I would just suggest trying to make a group called "owner" so your cfg look like.

Code:

"Users"
{
    //
    // This is your users file
    //
    // You can use this file to add people as admins on your server
    // Add them to the relevant section
    //
    // If you're a Lua coder you can add your own sections and use them
    // in your script by doing pl:IsUserGroup( "admin" ) etc
    //
    "owner"
    {
        "DevilsNipple" "STEAM_0:1:######"
    }

    "superadmin"
    {
    }
    
    "admin"
    {
    }

}

Also only put him in one group, as most lua mods can not figure out how to use multiple groups.
