No password; no admin; no nothing.

[Chironex]

Hello, kindly person reading this thread!

As the title suggests, I'm at a dead end. You see, I want to set up my WebAdmin for my UT3 server. I have the most recent version of WebAdmin from http://ut3webadmin.elmuerte.com/#installation, but since I'm such a noob, I can't make any sense of the instructions given to me. Here's the problem:

First of all, I cannot get my password set up. No matter what I try, I simply cannot find the correct file or code to work. Every time I type "adminlogin [password]" in-game, nothing happens. Ever.

This isn't the only problem. Being so new to the whole experience, I have no idea what "type [random code] into your console" means, because I don't even know where my console is. If you can explain to me what it is and how to use it, that would be great!

Next issue: when trying to start a dedicated server, I always see a "WebAdmin destroyed" or something like that. It then proceeds to tell me to "Enable bEnabled=True in Advanced Settings." I don't know where those are. >.<

Finally, in all the instructions I see, I am told to edit some text in the UTGame.ini and UTWeb.ini. However, neither of these files exist for me, so I cannot change them. I do have some files called DefaultGame.ini and DefaultWeb.ini, but these don't seem to do me any good.

If have the time and the patience, would you kindly help a beleaguered noob out? I'm very sure he would appreciate it.

Thank you for your time,
-Chironex

Since you are new at this whole thing I think you should take a step back and get an understanding of running and configuring the server itself first. I'm going to assume you are renting a server, so if you post that information then perhaps we can help you figure out where the UTGame.ini files are at and other important things like that so you can get your password configured, etc. Then we can get Web Admin going.

The "console" in-game is activated when you press the tilde key (~).

Renting a server? I don't even know how to do that. When I make a server, it is on my own computer, and it is only temporary. However, I am proud to say that I do know how to access the console in-game, just not out of game. Also, I found that I had to press TAB or F10 to access the console, not the tilde key. In fact, the tilde key did nothing for me. I hope that's not a bad thing.

Anyway, given that I am not renting a server (I am hosting it) and I know how to use the in-game console, I am still completely inept at figuring out how to make use of the WebAdmin features. If I could find my UTWeb.ini, all would be grand, but I cannot. Even after hosting a server several times on my own computer, I still cannot figure out how to make UTWeb.ini appear in my UTGame/Config folder. Perhaps this is my major problem?

If someone can help me with this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank'ee.

Sorry. I was only guessing that you might be renting a server (as many who post here do) because you provided no information about how you run your server.

To get an admin password working for your server add ?AdminPassword=<your password> to your commandline.

With patch 1.2 you can use webadmin, however webadmin does not come with the patch. If it cannot find webadmin then it will say "WebAdmin destroyed" as it is not needed. To get webadmin go here http://ut3webadmin.elmuerte.com/

All of your config (.ini files) should be located in \unreal tournament 3 (dedicated server)\UTGame\Config\ or \Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config\ dependent on if your using -nohomedir in your commandline. You sholuld not be editing the Default files, for each default file there should be a corresponding UT file, for example DefaultGame.ini>UTGame.ini.

I finally found my UT files! Thank you very much for telling me! I had no idea they were in my documents. Go figure.

Anyway, with the addition of "AdminLogin=FakeAdminPass", I was able to log into my server as an administrator. However, is that the work of WebAdmin, or the basic UT admin system, or are they the same thing? Also, where can I find a list of the commands I can execute as admin? For some reason, "admin restartmap" didn't work, and I was sure that it was a viable command. Finally, are there any other administration mods for UT3 that I don't know about, much like the Punisher and uAdmin mods for UT2004?

Again, I'd like to thank you for all your help, everybody, and especially thank you for putting up with me in my ignorance. Thanks!

Logging in with the password you entered is the basic UT admin system. Web admin simply uses it. To restart the map, take the space out between the words. It is adminrestartmap.

A question. If you are only running your server "temporary" (start it, play for a while and then shut it down I guess), is there any particular reason you need to use WebAdmin? That is typically used for servers that are on all the time and that need to be accessed from a remote computer.

Admin Commands

* AdminLogin <password> - Logs you in as an admin
* AdminLogout - Logs you out of admin mode

* Admin addbots <#> - Adds number of bots
* Admin killbots - Removes all bots
* AdminPlayerList - Shows PlayerID of players
* Adminkick <playername> - Kicks player from current game
* Adminkickban <playername> - Kicks player from current game and bans player from reconnecting (bans are stored in .ini file for later editing)
* AdminForceVoiceMute <playername> - Blocks a player from sending voip to others
* AdminForceVoiceUnMute <playername> - Allows a player to resume sending voip to others
* AdminForceTextMute <playername> - Blocks a player from sending text to others

To be honest, I had sincerely been hoping that Elmeurto (sorry for incorrect spelling) would add more features to his WebAdmin tool, such as the ability to freeze a player, change their team, remove their weapons, ect.
That is why I was so interested in setting it up early so that it would be easier in the future. I don't know if he will ever add more features to WebAdmin, but if he does, I shall be prepared.

Thanks for all your help, Slaughter. Also, I would like to thank you, AZ-{OVGY}, for providing that helpful list of administrative commands. I have already printed it out. (Now if I could just figure out what I can type after AdminChangeMap that will NOT disconnect me for once. :P )
