Outlaws of the Old West reads banned players from BanList.txt. The current panel exposes this file directly, so you do not need to search through the server folders.

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Open Configuration Files.
  3. Click Text Editor beside BanList.txt.

  4. Add one player's 17-digit SteamID64 per line, or remove the line to unban that player.
  5. Save the file and start the server.

76561198000000001

Do not add names, commas or quotation marks. If a change is needed while the server remains online, edit the file and run RefreshBanTextList as an authenticated administrator; otherwise restart the server so it reloads the list.
