8. Admin Permissions

Note:
Permissions require a SteamID64; use the guide How to Find a User’s SteamID to get the correct ID.

Permissions

  • This plugin uses the Oxide permission system.

signartist.url → Allows the user to apply images from URLs.

signartist.raw → Allows the user to apply base64 images directly (less common).

  • To grant a permission type this command in the server console field:

oxide.grant user <playername or steamID> signartist.url

oxide.grant user <playername or steamID> signartist.raw

Replace <steamID> with the player’s SteamID and <permission> with the permission you want to assign.

  • Tip: If you want everyone to be able to use use this permission:

oxide.grant group default signartist.url

9. Sign Artist In-Game Usage

9.1 Equip a Sign or Billboard

Place any writable sign or banner.

9.2 Get the Image URL

Use a direct image link (must end in .png or .jpg).

Example: https://example.com/myimage.png

9.3 Apply the Image

While looking at the sign, type in chat:

/sil <image_url> – Allows the user to cast their vote.

Example: /sil https://i.imgur.com/example.png
