This guide will walk you through the initial setup of your VEIN dedicated server including admins, whitelist, and the in-game admin menu.
Note: VEIN is currently in Early Access. Configuration options and file locations may change at any time with a game update. If this guide is outdated, please let us know in our Discord.
You will need your SteamID64 to set up admins and the whitelist. You can find yours at steamid.io.
1. Log in to your Indifferent Broccoli panel and navigate to your VEIN server.
2. In the sidebar, click Advanced Server Settings.
3. You will see the Game.ini editor at the top of the page.
1. In the Game.ini editor, find or create the section [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession] and add your SteamID64:
[/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
SuperAdminSteamIDs=YOUR_STEAMID64
2. To add additional Super Admins or regular Admins, add a new line for each:
SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198012345679
AdminSteamIDs=76561198012345680
Note:
SuperAdminSteamIDshave full server control.AdminSteamIDshave a reduced set of permissions.
The whitelist controls who can join your server. All players who want to connect must have their SteamID64 added here — including yourself.
1. In the Game.ini editor, find or create the section [/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase] and add each player's SteamID64 on a new line:
[/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase]
WhitelistedPlayers=76561198012345678
WhitelistedPlayers=76561198012345679
Important: Once any
WhitelistedPlayers=entry exists, only those players can join. Make sure every player who needs access is added before starting the server.
1. Click Save Config & Restart Server at the top of the page.
2. Wait 2-4 minutes for the server to restart and apply your changes.
Once connected to the server as an admin you can manage settings directly in-game.
1. Connect to your server.
2. Press \ to open the admin menu.
3. From here you can manage players, change server settings, and more. Hit Save after making any changes and restart the server to apply them.
