The Isle Evrima admin commands

The Isle Evrima admin commands go through the server's RCON, or through the game's admin panel. The OuiPanel console, the OuiHeberg game panel, passes none of them to the game. This guide shows how to enable RCON, connect to it and use the commands we tested. It assumes you ordered your server from our The Isle server hosting.

The server must have started at least once. The guide How to make a server in The Isle Evrima explains this first start.

Why the OuiPanel console is not enough

The OuiPanel Console shows the server log and its Start, Stop and Restart buttons. It passes no command to the game. In our test, the save command, sent from the console, was only echoed. The game log kept no trace of it.

To manage the server remotely, use RCON. It is the remote console provided by Afterthought, the game's studio.

Enable RCON in OuiPanel

RCON is turned off when the server is delivered.

1. Open Configuration › Server Settings, in the Environment Variables block.

2. Set Enable RCON to true.

3. Note the number of the RCON port. It is assigned with the server and locked.

4. Copy the RCON password, generated when the server was created.

5. Restart the server.

RCON answers right after the Load map complete line of the console. It listens over TCP on the RCON port, at the same IP address as the game. You find this address in the Global View.

The RCON password gives control of the server. It also lets you read the players' password. Only give it to people you trust.

Connect with an RCON client for Evrima

Evrima's RCON has its own protocol. Classic RCON clients, such as mcrcon, cannot talk to it. You need a client written for The Isle Evrima. Players publish several of them, often on GitHub. We have tried none of them, and our test used a small client written by our team.

1. In your client, enter the server's IP address and the RCON port number.

2. Enter the RCON password.

3. Connect. In our test, the server replied "Password Accepted".

Use the commands tested on our servers

The names below are the ones used by Evrima RCON clients. We sent each of these commands to a test server, with no player connected.

Command	Effect	Reply in our test
playerlist	Lists the connected players	PlayerList, followed by the players. The list was empty
save	Asks the server to save the game	Game saved
announce	Shows a message to all players, written after the command	Announcement Sent, followed by the message
getplayables	Lists the playable species	The 22 species of Game.ini

With no player, the save command changed no file. We have not checked yet what it keeps with players connected. We have not seen an announcement from the game either.

The serverdetails command also shows the players' password, in plain text. Never share its reply.

The other commands mentioned by Afterthought

Afterthought mentions other RCON commands in its patch notes. We have not tried them on our servers. Their exact name depends on your client.

• Kicking a player, kick, and banning them, ban.

• The list of RCON commands, commands.

• Wiping the corpses on the map.

• Updating the playable species.

Become admin in the game

An admin is declared by their SteamID64, on an AdminsSteamIDs= line of Game.ini. The easiest way is to enter this ID in Admin SteamID64, then restart. OuiPanel then writes the line on every start. You can also write it by hand in Game.ini, while the server is stopped.

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198000000000
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198000000001

The guide How to make a server in The Isle Evrima details both methods.

Open the game's admin panel

According to Afterthought's patch notes, an admin has an admin panel in the game. These notes mention playable species, growth, teleporting, healing, weather, announcements, bans and spectator mode in it.

According to the community, this panel opens with the Insert key, or by typing /adminpanel in the chat. We have not tried it on our servers yet.

If a command does not work

Symptom	Solution
The OuiPanel console does not react to a command	This is normal. Use RCON
The RCON client does not connect	Check that Enable RCON is true, then restart. Use the RCON port, not the game port
The password is refused	Copy the RCON password again from the settings, without spaces
A classic RCON client fails	Evrima's RCON has its own protocol. Use a client written for Evrima
You do not have admin rights	Check the 17 digits of your SteamID64 in Admin SteamID64, then restart

If the server does not show up in the game's list, follow the guide The Isle server not showing up in the server list.
