VIP passwords¶

Configuring VIP password(s) is easy thing to do. This guide will help you with this particular task and explain how the VIP value is configured. There are two ways of configuring VIP password, the first one is to use IP-address and the second one is to use password.

• The default configuration file for VIP passwords is vip_ip.cfg in the qwserver/ktx directory.

VIP levels

• 1 - normal VIP (default)
  • This VIP allows you to join as spectator when all the normal specslots are full. You will not gain additional rights.

• 2 - not kickable VIP by elected admins
  • You can't be kicked out of the server by elected admins regardless of your player/spectator status.
  • Real-admins and RCON users can still kick you out.

• 4 - VIP with admin rights
  • Real admin rights, a way more powerful rights to that of elected admin's.
  • Can issue bans
  • Can't be force_specced by elected admins
  • /nospecs will not remove you from the spectator slots.

• 8 - VIP with demo admin rights
  • Not used.

• 16 - VIP with judge rights
  • Not used

• 32 - VIP with rcon admin rights
  • Gives you RCON rights
  • Use /mmode console command with your client. After that every single command is sent to console.
  • EXAMPLE:
    • /mmode console
    • timelimit 10

Choosing VIP levels

• Simply just add VIP values together to contain the rights you wanted.

• EXAMPLE:
  • You want to be real-admin with not_kickable status
  • Real-admin = 4 , not_kickable = 2
  • 2 + 4 = 6

• NOTE: Every single VIP value other than 1 has the standard spectator VIP enabled.
• Meaning: It is enough just to specify value 4 for real-admin so that he/she can join server with specslots full.

How to use IP based VIP

• Use vip_addip [ip-address] [vip_value] command

* EXAMPLES:

vip_addip 192.168.0.1 2  (not kickable VIP)
vip_addip 192.168.0.7 6  (not kickable VIP with real-admin rights)
vip_addip 192.168.0.4 63 (VIP with all permissions enabled)

How to use password based VIP.

• You need to use both vip_password and vip_values variables.

* EXAMPLE:

vip_password    "normal-spec admin-spec not-kickable-real-admin my-rcon-access" 
vip_values      "1           4          6                       32            "
