I have never run a server before and I'm unsure of where to place config files...
The wiki says they will be automatically generated but I can't seem to find them. In ns2/web/js I find a mapcycle.js but it is nothing like the one on the wiki, it has no places to input a mapcycle. I tried replacing it with a copy of the wiki version, as well as creating a ServerAdmin.js to give myself admin rights, and it doesn't seem to work..
Are these in the wrong folder?

are you sure you are looking at the right wiki?
<a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/index.php/Dedicated_Server#Server_Configuration" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/inde...r_Configuration</a>
config files are in the ns2 folder ( the folder you created with steamcmd) then config
eg:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--> C:\ns2server\config<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
launch the server once wait 5 seconds for the files to be created- then stop
those json files will be there then.
example serveradmin.json file :
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->{
"groups":
{
"headadmin_group": { "type": "disallowed", "commands": [ ] },
"admin_group": { "type": "disallowed", "commands": [ "sv_password", "sv_listbans", "sv_autobalance", "sv_unban", "sv_statusip" ] }
}
"users":
{
"CoTTon": { "id": 8078655, "groups": [ "headadmin_group" ] },
"HeatSurge": { "id": 26900124, "groups": [ "admin_group" ] },
"Farstar": { "id": 982681, "groups": [ "admin_group" ] }
}
}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
take note of those commas (,) at the end of those lines there - do not use a , if it is the last line
keep in mind you need to follow the script for entering steam id's in this file
easiest way is to join your server - look in console and see the steam id of the person who is joining - then just paste it into that.
else if you are looking at the old steam_id way then it's this method:
STEAM_0:0:919317: 919317 * 2 = 1838634
STEAM_0:1:919317: 919317 * 2 + 1 = 1838635
Edit: I tried using this
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->{
"groups":
{
"headadmin_group": { "type": "disallowed", "commands": [ ] },
"admin_group": { "type": "disallowed", "commands": [ "sv_password", "sv_listbans", "sv_autobalance", "sv_unban", "sv_statusip" ] }
}
"users":
{
"Mau5Mau5": { "id": 38796285, "groups": [ "headadmin_group" ] },
}
}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
But it still did not work..this hosting service is pissing me off...no information, server was bugged for the first 10 hours after purchase...web admin doesn't work, and I can't configure even the most basic of things
delete the , at the end of the "Mau5Mau5": { "id": 38796285, "groups": [ "headadmin_group" ] },
also i would try following this config

edit the values etc.
there should be a total of 6 config files in the config folder (including server.txt)
please post your console log when you startup the server.
eg:C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\log.txt
Also, all example JSON config files are in the wiki. <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/index.php/Dedicated_Server" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/inde...edicated_Server</a>
However, even if you create the JSON files yourself, the server will not load them unless you specify the -config_path to load them from.
