Enabling Server Admin Users

Scorched3D has an admin console and admin web console to allow server admins to manage games and players.

To enable the admin users you need to create a file that specifies the admin usernames and passwords. The admin usernames and passwords need to be in a file named adminpassword-27270.xml (change the number to match the port that you are running the server on).

This file should be created in the normal Scorched3D configuration area:-

 windows : c:\documents and settings\<username>\.scorched3d 
 unix : ~/.scorched3d 

The file should contain the following:-

 <users> 
       <user> 
               <name>username</name> 
               <password>password</password> 
       </user> 
 </users> 

Replace username with the name of your admin and password with their password. You can repeat the <user></user> blocks to add more than one user. Note: No server restart is needed after making any changes to this file.

Enabling Web Admin Console

To determin if the web admin console is enabled check the server.xml file for the ManagementPortNo setting.

e.g.

       <option> 
               <name>ManagementPortNo</name> 
               <value>27271</value> 
       </option> 

The value is the port which may be used to connect to the web console. For example the above setting would allow you to connect to the web admin tool via http://127.0.0.1:27271
