I've just made a server for me and my friend. I clicked the .bat file, made a password and portforwarded. But when i get on there i'm just a normal player a can only do one command, where or how can i log in as an administrator?

Allow the server console to receive commands especially in linux enviroments, this would help with scripting start/shutdown/save/status scripts. Specific commands I would like to see; save, quit [time*], say [msg], kick [user], kickall, ban [user], unban [user], whitelist [add/remove/on**/off**] [user] [password] *Assumes now if no time given (e.g. quit 30, stops the server in 30 seconds) **Also opens or closes the server to new users For example My friend and I were designing a script to warn players of an impending server save and restart... but we learned that we could not issue commands to the server from console... which destroyed us warning players... It also makes it harder for admins to login via SSH and watch the server. I would also like to suggest that we log player chat to console & not log the rain collection in barrels as often.. Perhaps even log the chat to log files that can be parsed by shell scripts. Original Topic http://steamcommunity.com/app/108600/discussions/2/540739861667658316/

Staff may have had this question before, but I could not find any answers.. I start my server with 25 beta but do not get prompted to create admin log in details. Any help? Suggestions? Any help is much appreciated and thank you for your time.

I'm hosting a small whitelisted PZ Server for just me and some friends. While so far it's been a huge amount of fun with few issues, the occasional, multiplayer-specific issue has made me wish I could modify the data for my users' characters. For example one user was mobbed and infected due to latency making his client unresponsive. After some digging I notice that the character data seems to be stored client-side in <USER_FOLDER>/Zomboid/Sandbox/<IP>_<USERNAME>/map_p.bin, and not on the server itself. Having looked at the file in a hex editor it seems fairly easy to modify existing data. Changing the name or body parts is pretty trivial, but the problem I've run into is figure out which bit to flip or values to modify to be able to remove an infection. I was wondering if any documentation exists for where that might be stored, or if someone with more coding experience than me might be able to figure it out and share the info? Just to clarify, my goal here is correcting issues for my users that occurred as a result of Multiplayer bugs or limitations. I am very much against changing a save to undo something that was a user's own fault - if your stupidity kills you them then that's how it should be, but when an issue with the server is responsible for them losing items or a character then It's my responsibility to try and fix it. Ultimately tools for that should be included for admins (and I know that build 25 is adding some fun admin stuff soon) but right now I'm just looking for a quick fix.
