"You have server access you don't need ma_rcon !!"

[Jam06]

Hey, i followed a tutorial to get mani admin working, and when i try to acces the admin thingy ingame by typing "ma_rcon" it coes up with:

"You have server access you don't need ma_rcon !!"

Any idea why?

Thanks

Your account doesn't have ma_rcon access.

so what does this mean? and how can we get it to work? I am having this same problem. When I type "@menu" it said: "you are not an admin". What can we do then? Start over from scratch?

If you are using version 1.1 of mani, make sure the adminlist.txt file is filed out correctly (if you want full admin access, just enter your steam ID at the bottom). If you are using version 1.2 beta of mani, make sure the clients.txt file is populated properly with all the information as it handles everything (groups and immunities too) in that one file.

I put my Steam ID in like this

\\
\\
STEAM_0:0:123456

Thats how I have it exactly. Am I doing it wrong?

when you restart the server, the config will scroll by really fast, just go back up or copy/paste all, to a new file and check for the admins list.

you did restart after you added yourself right?

Yeah I did restart the server. I closed it last night and I turned the server back on and tried it today and the same old story. I have no admin rights.
Here is what it reads.

] exec mani_server
****** Executing mani_server.cfg ******
Unknown command "mani_admingravity_anonymous"
Unknown command "mani_player_settings_vote_progress"
Unknown command "mani_spray_tag_block_mode"
Unknown command "mani_spray_tag_block_message"
Unknown command "mani_spray_tag_slap_damage"
couldn't exec mani_quake_sounds.cfg
****** Finished executing mani_server.cfg ******

That is it. I'm guessing that it only shows anything that didnt load up.

What did you mean check the adminlist? Check if it loaded up? If so I dont think that will work. Since its not in there I assume that it did load. But thats just me assuming.

by the way, I am using the 1.2 version

[fqdn]

what is the exact order you did this? i believe adminlist.txt is only used in 1.1 and during the upgrade to 1.2, it only reads it the first time you load 1.2 after that it is all in the clients.txt. so if you edited adminlist.txt AFTER you started your server with 1.2 it will not get loaded. there's 2 ways you can do this, either edit the clients.txt file or use the ma_client commands.

from the server console:
1) ma_client addclient "yourusername" <- this can be anything it's to separate each player/admin
2) ma_client addsteam "usernamefromabove" "steamid" <- associate the username you just entered with a steamid
3) ma_client addagroup "usernamefromabove" "FullAccess" <- give said user full admin access, this is already a group with mani, for limited access you need to name/create the group first then add users. i'll let you read the manual for that.

you just keep repeating the steps for all the different users you want to give full admin to.

oops!! slip of the fingers, its 1.1
can i use the ma_client addsteam in 1.1? im guessing not.

AH HA! i typed ma_admins in the console of the dedicated server.
It showed my steam ID. BUT it said that it had to have a "*" before the ID if the admin was on. I connected and tried ma_admins and there was no *. So why do you think its not seeing me as an admin?

[fqdn]

hmm...no for 1.1 you just use the adminlist.txt

this is not on a lan is it? type "status" and take a screen shot, then post it.

[thegeek]

Yes its on a lan and I set the server for LAN instead of internet.

This is what I got:
Any idea on what is happening? It doesnt know my steam ID. I have a valid steam ID and just joined a server with it and it does work.

I get this when typing status in the console when I'm in my server

] status
hostname: lan
version : 1.0.0.28/7 2782 insecure
udp/ip : 192.168.0.4:27015
map : de_dust at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z
players : 1 (24 max)

# userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state
# 5 "ban" STEAM_ID_PENDING 00:16 58 0 active

[fqdn]

yes, if you set sv_lan 1 you can't use steam id's you have to either go with player name or ip of the computer for admins.

man you should have said this in the beginning. all the players will have steam id of STEAM_ID_LAN or something like that.

[thegeek]

When sv_lan is at 0 it said: "# 2 "ban" STEAM_ID_PENDING 01:34 30 0 active 192.168.0.4:27006"

When sv_lan is at 1 it said: "# 2 "ban" STEAM_ID_LAN 02:33 30 0 active 192.168.0.4:27006"

Either one does not work. Both does not give me admin priv

[fqdn]

set to sv_lan one and put STEAM_ID_LAN in the adminlist.txt, then restart your server.

of course if you do this EVERYONE on the lan will have admin. when you set sv_lan "status" will not show steam id's only the id shown above. steam_id_pending means you have some issue contacting the steam servers.
in this case i would set your machine to a static ip and then set that ip as an admin. remember you need to put a ";" in front of your IP, so your ip would be ";192.168.blah.blah" in the adminlist.txt file

I SHOULD KISS YOU!!
I have seen tutorials that say to put a ;; in front of the IP. So I made my own internal IP and put it in there......
you made me very happy.....

THANK YOU!!!!
It works!!

And to think I was only 1 ; away from all of this happyness!!

Thank you for being so much help. So many other forums were no help at all.
