Admin tools not opening in game #136

Open vvdraculaboyvv opened 1 year ago

vvdraculaboyvv commented 1 year ago

I press the END button in game and nothing happens. I have the CF and VPPAdminTools keys copied in the keys folder, I have both files copied into my server files directory, I added the names of the mods into the "-mod=" location:

"-mod=@CF;@VPPAdminTools"

I added the profiles directory into the starter line:

-profiles=H:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DayZServer\steamapps\common\DayZServer\ServerProfiles

I added a password into the credentials folder and also added my steam 64 ID into the super admins folder.. And yet, it's still not working... Any help?

Just created an account to say I have the same issue too. My local testserver was setup one or two days ago, with no mods other than CF and VPP Admin Tools. Now I have gone through the guides multiple times to check for mistakes, but I'm pretty sure it's done correctly now (I did do a mistake on the Steam 64 ID but that was corrected with correct ID).

Seeing other users have the same problem, it would seem like it is some kind of bug with the toolset maybe - maybe related to newer DayZ updates?

I have been in contact with Bastelbude in the VPP discord, and they provided some tips that solved this issue for me:

  1. VPPAdminTools\Permissions\SuperAdmins\SuperAdmins.txt (your steam-id inside, 7958xxxxxxxxx) Here lies the problem, at least for me, I think. The VPP Admin Tools documentation very clearly states to use Steam 64 ID and NOT the regular Steam ID. Obviously something must have changed down the line, but the documentation has not been updated. So if you use Steam 64 ID, change it to regular Steam ID.

  2. VPPAdminTools\Permissions\UserGroups\UserGroups.json (keep this file default)

  3. VPPAdminTools\Permissions\credentials.txt (this must be blank for the first run). This MUST be empty before the VPP first start, because it stores your (ingame) password in encrypted form. do not write anything here in yourself.

  4. Now press END ingame and enter (any) password. Now HOME and you should see the menu.

If you have deactivated the password requirement like I have, you will not be prompted for a password at all. This can be done by adding the following line to serverDZ.cfg:

vppDisablePassword = 1; // Deactivates password requirement for VPP Admin Tools.

Cheers! /MadMax

I followed the steps above and had no luck.

Added this line: vppDisablePassword = 1; // Deactivates password requirement for VPP Admin Tools. to serverDZ.cfg

Thought this would override anything I had done to the text files in the Permissions folder?

There is also a file titled SuperAdmins in the @VVPAdminTools mod folder do we leave that alone or put the steam id in there as well? I double checked and I forsure removed the password from the credentials.txt and it is blank.

Any further assistance is appreciated.
