How to Add an Admin to Your No More Room in Hell Server

No More Room in Hell does not ship with an admin system. The official server documentation only covers the server console and RCON. In-game admin rights are only available through SourceMod.

Find the SteamID

For the admin list you need the SteamID in the format STEAM_0:x:xxxxxxx.

Add an admin

1. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

2. Open the file
   Open the following file:

   /nmrih/addons/sourcemod/configs/admins_simple.ini
   

3. Add the player
   Add one admin per line. A line is structured like this:

   "<SteamID | !IP | Steam name>" "[immunity level:]<flags | @group>" ["password"]
   

   Examples:

   "STEAM_0:1:16"		"bce"			// generic, kick, unban for this SteamID, no immunity
   "STEAM_0:1:12345678"	"99:z"			// all permissions, immunity level 99
   "[U:1:24691357]"	"z"			// same permissions using the Steam3 format
   "!127.0.0.1"		"5:z"			// all permissions for this IP, immunity level 5
   

4. Apply the changes
   Save the file and enter the following command in the server console:

   sm_reloadadmins
   

   Alternatively restart your server.

Use the admin menu

1. Join the server
   Connect to your server. See Join Server for how to do that.

2. Open the menu
   Open the admin menu with the command sm_admin in the game console or with !admin or /admin in the chat.

Alternative: admins.cfg

Instead of admins_simple.ini you can also add admins in the KeyValues format:

/nmrih/addons/sourcemod/configs/admins.cfg

Admins
{
	"Player name"
	{
		"auth"		"steam"
		"identity"	"STEAM_0:1:12345678"
		"flags"		"abcdef"
	}
}

Without mods: server console and RCON

If you do not want to install plugins, the server console in the dashboard remains. You can run every server command there without being an admin inside the game.

On top of that you can enable RCON to run the same commands from outside:

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

2. Open server.cfg
   Open the following file via SFTP:

   /nmrih/cfg/server.cfg
   

3. Set a password
   Add the following line and choose a secure password:

   rcon_password "your-password"
   

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