How To Add Admin To Soulmask Server

Running a Soulmask server means you’ll sometimes need to take control of administrative functions, such as managing players, adjusting settings, or fixing bugs. To do that, you must set an admin password to gain access to the GM (Game Master or admin) panel. This guide will show you exactly how to set your admin password on your Soulmask server and use admin commands.


Using Admin Mode On A Soulmask Server


Creating An Admin Password


Your admin password is the key to controlling the server. Choose a secure password that only you and trusted administrators know.


  1. Log in to the Apollo Panel and ensure that your Soulmask server is offline.


  1. Go to the Startup Tab, then under the "Admin Password" setting, set the password that will be used to access admin mode.



  1. Start the server, and you will now be able to use the new admin password to access admin mode.


Accessing Console Commands


  1. Launch Soulmask and join your server.


  1. Press the `~` (tilde) key to open the console.


  1. You can now enter commands directly into this console once admin mode is activated.


If the tilde key doesn’t work, check your keyboard layout, as it can vary depending on your system.


Entering Admin Mode


Once your password is set and your server is running, follow these steps to activate admin mode in-game:


  1. Join your server and open the console using the ~ key.


  1. Enter the following command with "<Admin Password>" replaced with your admin password that you have set in the Startup Tab:


   GM key <Admin Password>


  1. You will now have access to the GM (Game Master or admin) panel, wherein you can do several things, such as summoning creatures, giving items, etc.



All Soulmask Server Console Commands Explained


gm key <Admin Password>


This command opens the GM (Game Master or admin) panel. Type `gm key <Admin Password>` in the console to authenticate yourself as an administrator. Only users who know the password set in the Startup Tab on the Apollo Panel can use it.


AddServerPermissionList <Permission Type> <Steam ID>


Adds a specific permission for a player based on their Steam ID. It can be used to ban, mute, or grant administrative rights depending on the permission_type value. For example, using `AddServerPermissionList 1 <steamID>` bans that player.


RemoveServerPermissionList <permission_type> <steamID>


Removes a permission previously assigned to a player. For instance, RemoveServerPermissionList 1 <steamID> unbans a player, while RemoveServerPermissionList 4 <steamID> unmutes them.


gm go <x> <y> <z>


Teleports you to the specified coordinates. You can use this to move instantly to any location in the world by defining the X, Y, and Z values.


gm add_exp <value>


Adds a chosen amount of general experience (XP) to your character. This helps you level up quickly for testing or administrative purposes.


gm add_mask_exp <value>


Adds mask-related experience to your character, boosting mask progression without the need to earn it naturally.


gm add_hunting_exp <value>


Gives you hunting experience points. This is useful if you want to increase your hunting level or test related mechanics.

Toggles camera follow mode. Setting it to `1` enables your view to follow the targeted player, while setting it to `0` disables this feature.
