This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to become an admin on your HumanitZ server. It covers setting up admin access, entering commands, troubleshooting common issues, and lists useful admin commands for effective server management.
Welcome to the apocalypse! Managing a HumanitZ server just got a whole lot easier and much more powerful.
In this article, we will guide you on how to grant yourself admin access and take full control of your survivor community. With recent game updates introducing a massively expanded visual Admin Panel, you now have more power than ever to shape the world, spawn loot, trigger zombie events, and manage your players. Let’s walk through the steps to get you set up!
Step-by-Step Guide to Become an Admin
Take note of your server's Admin Password or set a new one (requires a restart to take effect) in the Basic Settings.
Join your server and in chat enter the command
/adminaccess ADMINPASSWORD(for example, if your password is "Pingplayeradmin" you would enter/adminaccess Pingplayeradmin).
Message shows that we have admin access - Ensure that the command is entered correctly. If you receive an error message, double-check your password and input.
Once you have confirmed your admin access, you can use any of the commands that require administrator level like spawn items or cars.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while trying to access your admin settings, here are a couple of common problems:
- Wrong Password: Remember that passwords are case-sensitive. Ensure that you enter your password exactly as it is set.
- No Restart: If you change the admin password but do not restart the server, the new password will not take effect. Remember to restart!
Recent Updates: The Expanded Admin Panel (/adminw)
Previously, the in-game Admin Window (/adminw) was missing some functionality, but recent updates have massively expanded this tool! You can now control almost every aspect of your server and players directly through this visual interface.
/adminw
To open it, type /adminw in the chat. Here is a breakdown of the new additions:
Player Management: You must select a target player on the left side to use most actions. Once selected, you can view their stats (Level, Days, Clan, Vitals), fetch their inventory/backpack, or use quick actions to Teleport, Kick, Ban, or Kill them.
Admin Toggles: Easily toggle God-Mode, Super-Admin, or Revoke Admin rights with a single click.
Player Utilities: Helpful buttons let you quickly Unstuck a player, grant Full Vitals, or Level them Up.
World & Spawn Controls:
Spawning System: Dedicated dropdown menus allow you to easily search and spawn Items, Cars, Backpacks, and AI (like bears) directly to the targeted player.
Environment: Change the weather (e.g., Clear), swap seasons (e.g., Spring), instantly toggle Day/Night, or adjust the overall Speed Time multiplier.
Server Tools: Buttons are available to Unclaim All Cars, Delete Save, or Teleport to Starter Spawn.
Dynamic Events: You can now manually trigger Zombie or Bandit Events. You can adjust the "event number" which simulates the days passed—more days mean more enemies, and these enemies will split amongst the active players.
Direct Communication: A built-in messaging system allows you to send private messages directly to players (and players can use
/msgadminto reply).
Useful Commands for Admins on HumanitZ Servers
As an admin, you have access to a variety of commands that can help you manage your server effectively. Here are some of the key commands:
Commands available only to administrators | |
| Command | Details |
/AdminAccess [Password] | Grants a client admin privileges. |
/Shutdown [Seconds] | Shuts down the server in the specified time. Example: /Shutdown 60 |
/SuperAdmin | Enable flying mode undetected by other players. |
/god | No damage taken and no materials required for building. |
/SaveGame | Immediately saves the game state. |
/spawn [Item_Name] | Spawn an item, e.g. /spawn item_apple. |
/fspawn | Forces spawn item, ignoring collision checks. |
Managing an admin position on your HumanitZ server can greatly enhance your gaming experience and allow you to create a more enjoyable environment for all players.
Note: There's a command for an Admin window (
/adminw), however, some features are still not implemented fully like weather or zombie spawn.
