Admin Auto Login

📋 Description

Small server-side mutator that allows specified players to automatically login as an admin.

❌ Whitelisted?

No. This mod is not whitelisted and will de-rank your server. Any XP earned will not be saved.

But I hope that it will be whitelisted - I submitted whitelist request here: https://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/index.php?threads/whitelisting-mods-and-mutators.120340/post-2353666

🖥️ Usage (server)

Note: If this is unclear, first read: Dedicated Server Guide (KF2 wiki) [olist] [*]Open PCServer-KFEngine.ini / LinuxServer-KFEngine.ini. [*]Find [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] section and ensure line exists (add if missing):

DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.SteamWorkshopDownload[/code]
(If there are several [b]DownloadManagers[/b] then the line above should be the first)
[*]Add the following string to the [b][OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.KFWorkshopSteamworks][/b] section (create one if it doesn't exist):
[code]ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=2848836389

[*]Start server and wait for mutator download. [*]When the download is complete, stop the server. [*]Create a file (*): [code]<kf2-server>\KFGame\Config\KFAAL.ini[/code] with content:

[AAL.AAL]
Version=0

[*]Add mutator to server start parameters: [code]?Mutator=AAL.Mut[/code] and start the server (this will generate the default KFAAL.ini content). [*]Stop the server and configure the mutator (see ⚙️ Setup (KFAAL.ini) below). [*]Start the server. [/olist]

🐞 (*) Buggy config initialization

This mutator (like many others) relies on UnrealScript's default values (0 for int type) to detect first-time use and generate a config. However, the game contains a bug that initializes unset values to random data, which can lead to incorrect settings or missing configs.

As a workaround, I recommend explicitly setting Version=0 in the config during the first initialization.

Unfortunately, I can't fix this issue because it's a game engine problem (not the mutator's fault).

⚙️ Setup (KFAAL.ini)

• Use AdminId to set the list of admins, you can use UniqueID or SteamID. The default config contains example UniqueID and SteamID entries - replace them with the values ​​you need or delete them, but don’t leave it as is.
• Set bAutoEnableCheats=True to automatically enable cheats for admins.

🔎 Getting IDs

You can view the Steam ID and UniqueID in WebAdmin on the PLAYERS tab:

But don't try to use the SteamID from here for EGS players - it won't work. SteamID is for Steam players only. UniqueID is suitable for all platforms.

SteamID can also be obtained from the player's profile, look at the URL:

If a player uses a nickname in a link to their profile, then add this to the profile url: ?xml=1

☑️ Status: Completed

✔️ The mutator works with the current version of the game (v1150) and I have implemented everything I planned. ⛔️ Development has stopped: I no longer have the time or motivation to maintain this mod. No further updates or bug fixes are planned.
