Adding Admins to A3wasteland
This will let you run various items in game, such as booting, banning, etc. Please follow the steps below in order
for you to have these options in game.
- 1. Log into your FTP client and make sure your server is stopped
- 2. Go into the following area and open the following file: A3Wasteland_settings/admins.sqf
- 3. You will need to grab your UID which can be done using this website. FindSteamUID
- 4. Once you have your UID simply past it into the Owner, or Admin area like such:
// @file Name: A3Wasteland_settings\admins.sqf
// Admin menu (U key) access levels
/*******************************************************
Player UID examples :
"1234567887654321", // Meatwad
"8765432112345678", // Master Shake
"1234876543211234", // Frylock
"1337133713371337" // Carl
Important: The player UID must always be placed between
double quotes (") and all lines need to have
a comma (,) except the last one.
********************************************************/
// Low Administrators: manage & spectate players, remove hacked vehicles
lowAdmins =
[
// Put player UIDs here
];
// High Administrators: manage & spectate players, remove hacked vehicles, show player tags
highAdmins =
[
// Put player UIDs here
];
// Server Owners: access to everything, including god mode, money, guns, and vehicles
serverOwners =
[
"76561198054903532" // Steven
];
- 5. Save the file after you have made the edits
- 6. Upload it back to the server and start the server back up

// The IDs of HCs are assigned according to the order they connect to the server. The first HC to connect will have ID 1, and the second one will have ID 2.
// It is possible to set both caching and saving IDs to 1, which means both features will run on a single HC, therefore eliminating the need for a second one.
// For object saving, you must make sure that the HC runs from the same folder as your server, or that it has the same config files, as the HC will read them directly like the server.
// For saving with extDB, both server and HC need to connect to the same database, and with iniDB, both server and HC need to access the same db folder.
// HC saving only works with extDB and iniDB. It does NOT work with profileNamespace, as loading takes place on the server and saving on the HC, so loading will fail as profile files are separate.
