To become admin on your FREAKHOSTING Unturned server, stop the server, open Commands.dat from Game settings (Commands.dat: open the raw file), add the line Owner 76561198000000000 with your own SteamID64, save and start the server. The owner always has admin rights. To make another player admin while they are online, type admin PlayerName in the panel console.

​
Before you start

You need your SteamID64, a 17-digit number that starts with 7656. In the Steam client, click your account name and open Account details; the number is shown under your account name. If your Steam profile has no custom address, the number is also at the end of your profile link.

​
How to set yourself as the server owner

1

Stop the server

Stop the server. Owner is a startup command, so it only works when the server reads Commands.dat at start.
2

Open Commands.dat

Open Game settings and click Commands.dat: open the raw file. You can also open Servers/PterodactylUnturned/Server/Commands.dat in the File Manager.
3

Add the Owner line

Add a new line with Owner and your SteamID64, then save:
4

Start the server and join

Start the server and join. You now have admin rights and can use admin commands in chat with /.
There is only one owner. To give admin rights to more people, use the admin command.

​
How to make another player admin

While the server is running and the player is online, type this in the console:
As an admin you can also type /admin PlayerName in chat. The rights are saved, so the player stays admin after a restart.

​
How to turn on cheat commands

Some game commands, such as /give, /vehicle and /experience, are cheat commands. They only work for admins when Cheats is in Commands.dat:
Add the line while the server is stopped, then start it. RocketMod’s own commands, such as /v and /i, don’t need Cheats. See spawning vehicles.

​
Admins and RocketMod

RocketMod is installed on our servers. Admins can use every RocketMod command. For moderators who shouldn’t have full admin rights, use a RocketMod group instead and give it only the commands they need. See RocketMod permissions.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Why doesn’t my Owner line work?

The server was probably running when you saved, or the SteamID64 is wrong. Check it is 17 digits, stop the server, save Commands.dat again and start it.

​
Can I add admins by editing a file?

The game stores admins in Server/Adminlist.dat, which is not a text file. Use the admin command instead.

​
Why does @admin not work in chat?

On our servers RocketMod handles chat commands and only reacts to /. Type /admin PlayerName.

​
How do I remove an admin?

Type unadmin PlayerName in the console. To change the owner, edit or remove the Owner line while the server is stopped.
