This will be a small tutorial on how to login into the Web Admin in-game using the Steam overlay.
This can be really useful when you want to change maps fast, kick or ban players, edit difficulty on the fly or turn on mutators. Just remember changes made will not take effect until a new map has been loaded.
While in-game press Shift+Tab to bring up the Steam overlay.
In the bottom right corner, click the "Web" button. This will bring up a window with an address bar which should already have a website loaded.
Now, you will need to type this in to get into your web admin BECAUSE there are no pop up windows that will ask for your user name and password when you use this method.
The web admin is much easier to use than the console in-game and I would suggest using over the in-game console.

Here is another way to access the WebAdmin from the Overlay Browser.
This solution requires the modification of one steam file (url_list.txt).
If you now click on the Steam Overlay "Community" button it will open the web.admin.mod.html and give you two links as you can see in the attached picture. If you click on the KF WebAdmin link a new browser window will open and load your WebAdmin page. Click on the Steam Community link to go to your Steam Community Control Panel.
- Download the Zip file and extract the web.admin.mod.html into the "Public" folder of your steam installation.
Code:I:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Public
- Open the web.admin.mod.html with an html or text editor of your choice and change the following to the URL of your KF WebAdmin
Code:http://YourName:[email protected]:8075/
- Change the following to the URL of your community control panel (copy and paste the URL from your steam client)
Code:http://steamcommunity.com/id/YourSteamCommunityID/home
- Save the file, double click it to open it in the web browser and copy the URL from the browser's address bar... should look like this
Code:file:///I:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Steam/Public/web.admin.mod.html
- Create a backup of "url_list.txt" (it's also in the Public folder)
- Open the "url_list.txt" and look for
Code:SteamIDControlPage { url "%community%/profiles/%steamID%/home" method "community" }
- Replace the "url" part of it with the URL of the web.admin.mod.html you just copied from the browser's address bar so it would look like this
Code:SteamIDControlPage { url "file:///I:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Steam/Public/web.admin.mod.html" method "community" }
- Save the file, done
