About Server Mutes
This feature is for Server Muting a player, and they will not be allowed to type in the chat of your server. This is different from muting a player so you personally no longer see their messages. If you want to server mute a user, you can either server mute them permanently or give them a temporary server mute that will expire after a specified amount of time.
Important Note: The server must be stopped while editing server files. You must save your edits and restart your server for any edits to take effect. Changes to server files require a server restart, so we recommend adding mutes with RCON commands or in-game chat commands!
- In the Saved folder you must create a file called
mutes.txt - Add the server muted users for your server in the text file and click "Save".
Path: Saved/mutes.txt
Formatting:
You must add each mute on a new line.
Mute by Alderon ID
Each line in your text file must follow this format:
AGID:UnixTimestamp:AdminReason:UserReason
| Variable | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AGID | 123-443-512 |
The Alderon Games ID of the player. |
| UnixTimestamp | 1644464516 |
If the mute is temporary, enter the Unix Timestamp of the date the player will be unmuted. You can generate the timestamp here https://www.epochconverter.com/. If the mute is permanent, set this to 0 |
| AdminReason | Admin message here! |
An internal message that will only be visible by admins. Useful for keeping notes. Can be left blank. NOTE: you cannot use a colon : in this description or else it will break your mutes. |
| UserReason | Muted for spamming the chat. |
The message the user will see when attempting to type in chat. Ensure this is descriptive so the player understand why they were muted. NOTE: you cannot use a colon : in this description or else it will break your mutes. |
