How To Add Moderators On Your Pavlov VR Server

Moderators get the admin menu in Pavlov's pause menu, and other players can't vote-kick them. Your server keeps its moderators in the mods.txt file, one SteamID64 per line.

Adding Moderators Using mods.txt

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Open Pavlov/Saved/Config/mods.txt.
  4. 4
    Add each moderator's SteamID64 on its own line:
    76561198106341655
    76561191238744444
    
  5. 5
    Save the file and start your server.

Adding Moderators From The Console

While the server is running, you can also manage moderators from the Console:

  • AddMod 76561198106341655 makes that player a moderator and adds them to mods.txt.
  • RemoveMod 76561198106341655 takes them off the list.
  • ModeratorList shows every moderator.

See RCON and Console Commands for more commands.
