How to Add an Admin to Your CryoFall Server

Admins are called operators in CryoFall. What you enter is not a SteamID64 but the in-game name of the player – written exactly as it is shown in the bottom right corner of the main menu.

Find your name

1. Start CryoFall
   Launch CryoFall and stay in the main menu.

2. Read your name
   Your account name is displayed in the bottom right corner of the main menu. Use exactly that spelling, including upper and lower case.

Add an operator via the console

This is the quickest way and works while the server is running.

1. Open the console
   Open the console of your server via the dashboard.

2. Enter the command
   Enter the command without a leading slash and confirm with Enter:

   opAdd YourName
   

3. Check the result
   The following command lists all registered operators:

   opList
   

Add an operator via the configuration file

Alternatively you can add operators directly to the server configuration.

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard. The lists are read on server start.

2. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Open the configuration
   Open the following file:

   /Data/SettingsServer.xml
   

4. Enter the names
   Add the names inside the <server> section, separated by commas:

   <server_operators_list>YourName,SecondName</server_operators_list>
   

5. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server.

Add more operators in the game

Once you are an operator yourself you can grant further rights directly in the game.

1. Open the console
   Press the ~ key in the game to open the console.

2. Enter the command
   In the game every command starts with /:

   /opAdd PlayerName
   

Moderators

Moderators can manage players – kick, ban and mute them – but do not have full operator access.

<server_moderators_list>Name1,Name2</server_moderators_list>

Command overview

What operators can do on top

As an operator you can open the in-game menu (Esc key) and use the Edit button to adjust things like the description, the welcome message and the game rates of your server without editing any files.
