How to Add an Admin on Your The Cenozoic Era Server

On your The Cenozoic Era server you grant admin rights through the configuration file Game.ini. That is where you enter the players who become owners and therefore get access to the admin commands in the game.

Add owners in the Game.ini

1. Stop the server
   Open the dashboard of your server and stop it before you edit the configuration.

2. Open the configuration file
   Connect to your server via SFTP and open the file:

   /TheCenozoicEra/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini
   

3. Find the "Admin Setup" section
   Scroll to the end of the file. There you will find the section with the empty Owners= entry:

   [/Game/GameCore/DefaultGame/GameInstance/TCEGameInstance.TCEGameInstance_C]
   
   Owners=
   

4. Enter the player
   Add the Steam NetID of the player who should become an owner behind Owners=.

5. Add more owners
   For every additional owner you add another line with Owners=. The entry may be repeated as often as you need owners.

6. Save and start
   Save the file and start your server. The file is read at startup – without a restart the change has no effect.

Name colors of the roles

The "Colors" section of the Game.ini defines the color each role is displayed in inside the game. The values are given as hex sRGB:
