Admin Interface 1.1.0: appoint, noclip, world change and terminals of its own
Appoint moderators with a click, noclip through walls, change the world without touching the server files – and terminals that let every player open the server help.
After the first weekend with Admin Interface, four wishes kept coming up: appoint people as admins directly, fly through walls, reset or change the world – and a device in the station where players find support. All of that is in now.
Appointing works right in the player list, the player file and on the map. I pick the role, add a short reason, confirm, and the new rights apply at once – even for someone who is offline, by Steam ID. Every change goes into the audit log and, if you want, to Discord. Only an owner appoints owners, and nobody can promote themselves.
Flying still stops at walls, as before. New is the noclip ability on Ctrl+B: it takes you through walls, floors and terrain. If I switch it off inside a wall, the interface puts me on the nearest free spot.
On the new “Reset & world” page I reset single players – back to the start point, empty pockets, fresh starting gear, a new start lander –, set areas like anticheat or protection back to default, or clear statistics and logs. And I can change the world: load another save or create a new world with planet and start condition. Before that the server saves, makes a backup, counts down and tells Discord. On a dedicated server this needs the new start script 1.1.0. Everything that cannot be undone asks twice.
The terminals come as a wall device and as a standing device, printed in the electronics printer. The support terminal opens the server help for everyone and shows open tickets and the running poll, the admin terminal opens the interface – but only for admins, everyone else sees “No access”. Only admins may make, place and remove them; the server checks that, not the player. Both need power, can be painted and send values to IC10.
Also: whoever is invisible is now missing from the game's player list too. Answering tickets and starting polls works from Discord as well. And if you want to support me, the window now offers Stripe next to PayPal – voluntary as always.
I also took care of a player report: whoever is an admin on a dedicated server through the ServerAuthSecret – working with serverrun – was not recognised by the interface so far. From 1.1.0 their computer proves to the server on joining that it knows the secret, without sending it, and they are an admin automatically. Admins from Roleplay & Permissions count as well. Both can be switched off, and the window always shows where a role comes from.
The server and all players need the new version, because the terminals are new structures. Everything else is in the guide.
