    Hello,

    I started a server, which I was able to connect to just fine, until I realized I had no security to allow only wanted guests to play on the server. I opened the server.cfg, turned WHITELIST to true, and then added my username (brkfst) to the whitelist.txt with the scheme:

    Act: -1: brkfst1

    and yet when I try to join my server, I get a message saying I'm not whitelisted. Please let me know how to fix this.

    Thanks

    I managed to activate the whitelist, add myself on it, and become the sole admin through in-game console commands, but thanks to anyone who read.

    Glad you found a way to make it work for you.

    Code:
    Act: -1: brkfst1
    Just for future reference, the (working) whitelist.txt on my server follows a pattern of
    Code:
    act:-1:brkfst1
    Note the lower case "act", and no spaces between the entries.

    I didn't actually try your variant, but since this file is parsed by a machine, these may be things that could make or break it.
