PingPerfect Admin.xml

[Butzen]

Hi,

Im, at PerfectPing too.

My problem is that i cant make groups or admins on the admin.xml

Everytime the xml. was overwriting by a new one.

We are 3 friends on the server and no one can use commands for the server.

Can someone help me out. explane me the correct xml commands for usergroups or admins.

Sorry, for my bad english.

Have a nice day

I don't know how PingPerfect starts the server, but if you can pass command line arguments, then use --admin with your 64bit SteamID, such as --admin 75839472649382837

hi,

thanks for the fast response.

the problem is everytime the admin.xml going overwrite with the normal one. then i have rights to use the commands in the game

[koonschi]

It's overwritten because the --admin parameter is set when starting the game. If you can't set it when starting up the server, then I'd suggest contacting PingPerfect to give you the option of setting it when starting up the server.

Hello I've seen somebody who has the exact same problem in pingperfect.

What I would do is create a ZIP folder of the full thing open it with zip see if the file server.bat or server file now shows up.

Right click edit if you can.

Then remove the --admin part or something like that it was. (I think I don't know it out of the top of my head)

Somebody can correct me if I am wrong but it should go from

 

--galaxy-name avorion_galaxy --admin avorion_admin

to

--galaxy-name avorion_galaxy

and then hopefully it won't overwrite it.(edited to correct command line)

 

Save that folder and see if you can upload the files again somehow. I am not sure how to upload it exactly not using the service myself so don't know the webpage and never used it.

[koonschi]

Have you actually tried that? Because if you remove --admin, you also have to remove "avorion_admin".

--galaxy-name avorion_galaxy

is the correct command line.

[legendskills]

No I haven't I don't have the file but would you be able to ZIP it the thing is with pingperfect you cant see all files and its all browser based files.

So there is no server.bat on the browser pingperfect files.

I guess if you zip it put it on your actual pc everything would show up right?

Then once you edited that you can upload it again but would you need to unzip first again?

(trying to get the info for a friend who's trying to set the server up)

[Butzen]

There is no way to get the start.bat

Open up an supportticket in perfectping to get some help or info

I think I know why you have issues.

 

First of all you do not need to have to have Butzen and KingGeorge set as admins as well as moderators. If they are admins they have all permissions.

 

Second the XML file is not valid.

 

<Users/> implies a closed tag. Equal to <Users></Users> and your moderators must be within that tag so instead of

 

<users/>

    <user name="Butzen" id="76561198003182616"/>

    <user name="KingGeorge" id="76561198036431423"/>

    ....

 

it should be

<Users>

    <user name="Butzen" id="76561198003182616"/>

    <user name="KingGeorge" id="76561198036431423"/>

</Users>

....

 

Good luck!

The admin.xml file will reset if everything is not set exactly correct. If you are having a problem put in a support ticket with what you are trying to use and we can fix any errors in it.
