You remove players from a DarkMultiPlayer server with commands – either in the console of your dashboard or directly in the game if you are an admin. What you always specify is the DMP player name, not a SteamID64.
Kick a player
/kick <player name> [reason]
The player is disconnected from the server but can rejoin at any time. The reason is optional and is shown to the player.
Ban a player
A ban is permanent – DarkMultiPlayer does not support time-limited bans. There are three independent variants:
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/ban <player name> [reason] |
Bans the player name |
/banip <IP address> [reason] |
Bans the IP address |
/bankey <public key> [reason] |
Bans the player's key |
Ban lists
All bans end up in one file each inside the /Config/ directory – one entry per line:
| File | Content |
|---|---|
banned-players.txt |
Banned player names |
banned-ips.txt |
Banned IP addresses |
banned-keys.txt |
Banned public keys |
Lift a ban
DarkMultiPlayer has no command for unbanning. You remove the entry directly from the corresponding file.
