The admin password
Set AdminPassword in ServerSettings.ini (on Flux, it is a required field of the deployment). In game, open the chat and type /AdminLogin <password>. You are an admin until you leave. Make the password a long one, and keep it set: with no password at all, /AdminLogin gives anyone admin.
Admin commands
| Command | What it does |

| /KickPlayer <SteamID or name> [reason] | Kick a player; they can rejoin |
| /BanPlayer <SteamID or name> [reason] | Kick and ban a player; the ban is saved with the server |
| /UnbanPlayer <SteamID or name> | Take a player off the ban list |
| /ReturnToLobby | Kick everyone and return the server to its lobby |
| /ReturnToLobbyWhenEmpty | Return to the lobby as soon as the server is empty |
| /AdminSay <message> | Show a message to all players |
Admins by SteamID64 and the ban list
The Players & Admins tab keeps two lists, the files the server reads as it starts (AdminWhitelist.txt and PlayerBanList.txt, one SteamID64 per line). Add a SteamID64 to the admin list to make that player an admin without a password, and to the ban list to keep them out; saving restarts the server. A ban an admin makes in game with /BanPlayer is saved by the game into the same list.
Finding a SteamID64
- In Steam, click your name at the top right, then Account Details: the ID is shown under your account name.
- Or open the Steam profile: a profile link of the form steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656119… ends in it.
- On Flux, paste the profile link into the Players & Admins tab and it takes the number from it. If your profile has a custom URL (steamcommunity.com/id/name), steamid.io turns it into the number.
Frequently asked questions
How do I kick or ban someone on my Icarus server?
Log in as an admin in game (/AdminLogin with the admin password, or your SteamID64 in the Players & Admins tab) and type /KickPlayer or /BanPlayer with their name or SteamID. To ban someone who is not online, add their SteamID64 under Banned players in the Players & Admins tab.
Is there RCON for Icarus?
No. The dedicated server has no remote console: commands are typed in the game's chat by a logged-in admin.
