Thanks for the great patch Thothie!

Admin System
Add steam ID's to msc/admins.txt to setup your admins
Loopback IP always has admin access

This isn't working right, I'm sure it's a syntax error. In my admins.txt I have Steam ID's in the following format:

//Picadilly
STEAM_0:1:4268653

Does the Steam ID need to be in quotes like the old AMX format? Can I comment out the player names for reference, as shown here?

 

[Thothie]

Hmm... Shouldn't need quotes, but it isn't setup to handle comments at the moment, may just want to stick to SteamID's alone (even though, really, that shouldn't screw with it, hrmmm).

Server may need to restart for it to take effect.

Also the commands are client side still, sadly. They only work from within the game.

 

[Picadilly]

Took out the commented users. Still doesn't work...

Either the server needs to reset or something needs to tell the file to close/start reading again. Thothie, you may consider an "admin_refresh_file" command, or something along those lines. I haven't looked into your admin system, but assuming you just set a variable on a player at when they join, the new admin would need to reconnect before it takes effect.

 

[Thothie]

At the moment it just reads in the file when the first player connects, and keeps it from there.

However, if restarting the server is not working, we have another issue.
