How to Add an Admin to Your Longvinter Server

Admins on a Longvinter server are defined through the configuration file Game.ini. What you enter is the player's EOS Account ID – a 32-character string of digits and letters.

Find the EOS Account ID

1. Start Longvinter
   Launch Longvinter on your PC.

2. Open the settings
   Open Options in the main menu.

3. Read the ID
   Switch to the General tab and scroll down. Your EOS Account ID is listed there – copy it.

Add the admin

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

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

3. Open Game.ini
   Open the following file. If it does not exist yet, create it:

   /Longvinter/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
   

4. Enter the EOS Account ID
   Add the ID to the key AdminSteamID in the section [/Game/Blueprints/Server/GM_Longvinter.GM_Longvinter_C]:

   [/Game/Blueprints/Server/GM_Longvinter.GM_Longvinter_C]
   AdminSteamID=000000000000000000000000aaaaaaaa
   

5. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server. Admin rights are only read on server start.

Add multiple admins

Multiple admins go into the same line, separated by exactly one space:

[/Game/Blueprints/Server/GM_Longvinter.GM_Longvinter_C]
AdminSteamID=000000000000000000000000aaaaaaaa 000000000000000000000000bbbbbbbb
