Player roles let you give staff specific command permissions and custom chat colors on your Path of Titans server. Start with the commands each person needs, then add permissions as their responsibilities grow.
Create a Player Role
- 1Log in to Bropanel and
Stopyour server. - 2In the sidebar, go to
Files. - 3Navigate to
server/PathOfTitans/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/and openCommands.ini. Create a file with that name if it is missing. - 4Add the example below, keeping any existing roles and player assignments.
- 5Replace
123-456-789with the player's Alderon Games ID (AGID). Players can find their ID at alderongames.com. - 6
Savethe file andStartyour server.
[Role:Announcer]
+Permission=announce
ChatColor=(R=80,G=180,B=255,A=255)
[PlayerRoles]
123-456-789=Announcer
This example grants the announce permission. It is a useful starting point for someone who posts event notices. If [PlayerRoles] already exists, add the assignment beneath that section instead of creating a second copy.
Each role starts with [Role:RoleName]. Add one +Permission=PermissionName line per permission. Use our chat commands guide when choosing permissions.
For ChatColor, use parentheses as shown. RGB values range from 0 to 255; keep A=255. Without a color, the default is white.
Assign or Remove Roles In-Game
Set yourself up as a server admin first. With the server running, open the in-game text chat and enter:
/promote 123-456-789 Announcer
Replace the example AGID and role name. You can also use the player's username. To remove their assigned role, use:
/demote 123-456-789
To change an assignment through Bropanel, stop the server, edit the player's line under [PlayerRoles], save, and start it again. Remove the line to remove that assignment.
Note
Permission names usually match lowercase commands without /, but /bring needs +Permission=teleport, and /demote needs +Permission=promote. Attribute commands use names with spaces, such as +Permission=set attribute for /setattr. Check the command permission table when choosing permissions. Grant role-management permissions only to trusted staff. See the official chat commands and server admin documentation for these exceptions.
Optional Role Settings
Place these beneath the relevant [Role:RoleName] heading, before the next section.
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
OverrideAdminChatColor=True | Uses the role color instead of the whitelisted admin color. |
AllowSpectatorAccess=True | Allows Spectator mode and the admin panel. |
ReservedSlot=True | Gives the role reserved-slot access. |
CreatorModeAccess=True | Allows Creator mode. |
Hierarchy=10 | Sets the role's rank; the default is 0. |
The four True/False settings default to False. Lower-ranked roles cannot use hierarchy-aware commands, including ban, kick, promote, and demote, against higher-ranked roles.
Check Your Configuration
After restarting, have the assigned player join and try the intended command. For the example role, use /announce Event begins in five minutes.
If the role does not work, check the AGID, the role name in both sections, and the permission spelling. Confirm you saved Commands.ini in the LinuxServer folder before starting the server. A player listed in ServerAdmins has administrator access, so use a separate account when checking a restricted role.
Role syntax and settings are based on Alderon Games' Player Roles documentation.
