Set the owner Steam ID on a Swords ’n Magic and Stuff server

The Admin steam id field expects the intended owner’s Steam account ID. It is separate from the public server name and the password players use to join.

Make the change

  1. Open Steam’s account details for the person who should administer the game and copy their SteamID64.
  2. Stop the hosted server between sessions and open Startup.
  3. Enter the numeric SteamID64 in Admin steam id, without a profile URL or display name.
  4. Keep the existing world and reset settings unchanged, then start the server.
  5. Join from that Steam account and check the game’s administration controls.
Startup variables for Swords 'n Magic and Stuff. Use the field labels in the steps; keep private credentials hidden when sharing screenshots.

Check the result

If ownership is not recognized, compare the account currently signed into Steam with the saved numeric ID. Panel access alone does not make a different Steam account the in-game owner.
