How to Add an Admin to Your Myth of Empires Server

Admins – called GM accounts in the game – are added to a Myth of Empires server by their SteamID64. That is a 17-digit number starting with 7656. There is no admin file you could edit via SFTP: the list is passed to the server on startup.

Tip

Here you can find a guide on how to find your SteamID64.

Important

Separate multiple SteamID64 with a semicolon (;) – without any spaces in between. A comma does not work as a separator.

Add an admin

1. Open the dashboard
   Open the dashboard of your server and switch to the settings.

2. Enter the SteamID64
   Enter your SteamID64 into the field for the admin or GM accounts. If your dashboard only offers a field for additional startup parameters, add the following there:

   -ServerAdminAccounts=76561198012345678;76561198087654321

3. Enable the GM accounts
   Check whether the settings additionally offer a switch for the GM accounts (bUseServerAdmin). If it is there, it has to be enabled, otherwise the list has no effect.

4. Restart the server
   Save the change and restart your server. The admin list is only read on server start.

Use admin commands in the game

1. Join the server
   Join your server, see Join Server.

2. Open the console
   Press the ~ or ` key – on an English keyboard the key to the left of the 1. The console only opens if your account is listed as an admin.

   Keyboard

   If the key does not react, switch your keyboard layout to English (US) and try again.

3. Enter a command
   All admin commands start with cheat, for example:

   cheat SaveWorld

Warning

Admin rights can only be granted through the admin list read on server start. Widely circulated commands such as cheat SetAdmin do not work – a player who is not on the list cannot grant themselves admin rights in the game.

Note

If an admin is added later on, the server has to be restarted. Save the world with cheat SaveWorld beforehand and wait about 30 to 45 seconds before stopping the server.
