Hi,

It's my first post here but I've been playing Obscurity for quite long time. And here is my question:

How to make admin panel on my server work? I think I should add myself to admins in obscurity.cfg but I have there 2 lines and I don't know what to write in "set obs_admin1 ". Anybody could help me? Please!

i should probably leave it to either falc or snake,  but i think you need your 8 digit GUID in there as well as a name

With the files you downloaded, you should have a file called obscurity.cfg

Look for the lines;

set obs_admin1_name "admin1name"

set obs_admin1 "GUID"

If these do not exist then you must write them in yourself - it supports up to 10 in-game admins.

To set your admins, you need their short GUID (8 characters long). While in-game, type in /pb_plist into the console (press shift + ~ to expand it) to get your GUID, or another persons that you might want to give admin to. Then you have to put your/their GUID into the code, along with the matching name. e.g:

My GUID is 2d3ca9bf and to make myself admin I would put this into the config

set obs_admin1_name "Describe"

set obs_admin1 "2d3ca9bf"

If for example you have 3 admins, either do not write in "obs_admin4" and above or write in, for all of the unused admin slots;

set obs_admin5_name ""

set obs_admin5 "blank"

Hope that covers any questions you have with the in-game admin setup.

Good post des. BUT

If you're hosting the server yourself (while playing in it), you won't have a proper guid. Your guid in this scenario appears to be a random piece of memory, but is consistently the same on every individual computer. Try making your guid entry in the config "", as a blank guid is the most common one.

Or you could try the /pb_myguid command and grab the last 8 digits.. that one usually works.

You might have to go into a server to use pb_plist, not one running on your PC.

@Falc - I tried, since Jesus wasn't much help.

that will get your actual guid, but if you're the host you won't have that guid within the server. Mine's "" and snakelet is "omb_main" lmao

Maybe he isn't hosting it directly off his machine.. but yeah if he's hosting it local, then his regular GUID becomes the server GUID I think.

I assumed he is, because it's the only reason it wouldn't work normally (assuming of course, he did what you said right)
