How To Add Admins To Your Quake Live Server

Managing player permissions, including granting administrative privileges or banning players, is essential for maintaining a healthy gaming environment. Quake Live uses a file called access.txt to handle player permissions.

Setting Yourself As An Admin In Quake Live

  1. Log in to Bropanel and select your Quake Live server.
  2. In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. Navigate to /.quakelive/baseq3/ .
  4. Find the file named access.txt.
  5. Add a new entry on its own line and follow the format: steamid|(mod|admin|ban) For example: 76561198072786081|ban.
  6. Type reload_access to make the changes live.
