Admin Port in 12.2 not opening

[erico252]

I was previously using an old version of the game (1.10.3) to develop on the admin port. I was easy to enable the admin port by just adding the "admin_password" field to under the [network] section in openttd.cfg in the documents folder as described in the openttd wiki (https://wiki.openttd.org/en/Archive/Man ... 20password).

After working on some development i tried to get some friends to connect to the server only to find out that i was indeed using an older version. This is no problem and an easy fix just download the most recent version and the admin port functionality should remain the same. This however is not the case as now the admin port is not activated on server startup

Was the adminport functionality removed in recent updates or is there a new way of activating it?

Thanks in advanced,
Eric

Problem solved! posted this issue as well onto the /r/openttd forum as well and got a response. It appears that the admin_password location was moved from /openttd.cfg into /secrets.cfg as documented in this changehttps://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/comm ... add4f317d1

This is not reflected on many of the general google for "admin port" on google so hoping that this can help anyone out in the future who has issues finding it like i did
