Running a The Isle Evrima server means you’ll need to manage players, enforce rules, and keep things running smoothly. This guide covers everything \u2014 how to set yourself as admin, use the in-game admin panel, RCON commands, and best moderation practices.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Add Yourself as Admin<\/h2>\n

Admin access is granted via Steam64 ID in your Game.ini<\/code> file.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find your Steam64 ID at steamid.io<\/a> \u2014 it’s a 17-digit number<\/li>\n
  2. Stop your server<\/li>\n
  3. Open Game.ini<\/code> (at \/TheIsle\/Saved\/Config\/LinuxServer\/Game.ini<\/code> on managed hosting)<\/li>\n
  4. Add your ID under [\/script\/theisle.tigamestatebase]<\/code>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    [\/script\/theisle.tigamestatebase]\nAdminsSteamIDs=76561198000000000<\/code><\/pre>\n
    For multiple admins, add one line per person. Restart the server after saving.<\/p>\n
    Using the In-Game Admin Panel<\/h2>\n
    Once you’re in-game as an admin, press Insert<\/strong> to open the admin panel (or type \/adminpanel<\/code> in chat). Press \/<\/strong> to search commands by name.<\/p>\n
    Player Management Commands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Command<\/th>\nWhat It Does<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

    Command<\/th>\nWhat It Does<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

    Banning Players the Right Way<\/h2>\n
    Always ban by Steam64 ID, not by name \u2014 players can change their display names to evade name-based bans. Use \/playerlist<\/code> to get their Steam ID first, then ban via RCON:<\/p>\n
    ban PlayerName,76561198000000001,Reason,0<\/code><\/pre>\n
    The last value is ban duration in seconds. 0<\/code> means permanent. For a 24-hour ban use 86400<\/code>.<\/p>\n
    To unban: unban 76561198000000001<\/code><\/p>\n
    VIPs and Whitelist<\/h2>\n
    You can also add VIPs (players who skip the queue) and whitelisted players under [\/script\/theisle.tigamestatebase]<\/code>:<\/p>\n
    [\/script\/theisle.tigamestatebase]\nAdminsSteamIDs=76561198000000001\nVIPs=76561198000000002\nWhitelistIDs=76561198000000003<\/code><\/pre>\n
