Installing and Configuring Admin Tools on a DayZ Server

Admin tools empower server administrators with RCON commands, player management, and monitoring capabilities. This tutorial will guide you through installing and configuring Admin Tools on your DayZ server using VolticHost Game Panel.

📌 Prerequisites

• A DayZ server hosted with VolticHost.

• Access to VolticHost Game Panel.

• The Admin Tools mod files (commonly provided as an @AdminTools folder and its accompanying .bikey file).

1️⃣ Installing the Admin Tools Mod

1. Download the Admin Tools mod from Steam Workshop or your preferred DayZ mod repository.

2. Extract the mod files to ensure you have a folder named @AdminTools.

3. Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.

4. Click on your DayZ server to open the management dashboard.

5. Navigate to the File Manager tab and upload the @AdminTools folder to your server’s root directory.

6. Locate the .bikey file within the @AdminTools folder and move it to:

   /keys/
   

✅ Admin Tools mod has been installed!

2️⃣ Enabling Admin Tools in Startup Parameters

1. In VolticHost Game Panel, navigate to File Manager.

2. Open serverDZ.cfg located in the /config/ directory.

3. Add the Admin Tools mod to the startup parameters by including:

   -mod=@AdminTools

3️⃣ Configuring Admin List and Permissions

1. In File Manager, locate the Admin Tools configuration file (commonly named admin_config.json or similar) within the @AdminTools folder.

2. Open the configuration file and add your admin Steam IDs with appropriate permissions. For example:

   {
       "admins": [
           {
               "steamID": "76561198000000000",
               "rank": "superadmin"
           },
           {
               "steamID": "76561198011111111",
               "rank": "admin"
           }
       ]
   }
   

3. Adjust settings such as allowed commands, chat logging, and kick/ban permissions as required.

4. Click Save Content to apply the changes.
