Adding Admins on your Day of Defeat Source Server
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.
3. From your game panel, install both SourceMod and MetaMod. These are required to enable admin functionality on your server.
4. Open the File Manager.
5. Navigate to:dod/addons/sourcemod/configs/admins_simple.ini
6. Open the file and add admin entries in the following format:
For e.g.
Replace the SteamID with the player’s actual SteamID64. You can find it using Steamid.io.
"99:z" grants full admin permissions. You can assign specific flags instead—refer to admin_levels.cfg for available flags.
7. After editing, click the Save button to apply the changes.
8. After saving changes to admins_simple.ini, restart your server to apply the new admin settings.
