In Game Admin for BC2 servers

Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2010 2:36 pm Post subject: In Game Admin for BC2 servers

In game admin will use Vanilla bfbc2 data if available, then use punkbuster data if available.

The in game admin uses a combination of a spell checker with an auto-completer. As of 1.5 the spell checker will favour names/maps/etc that have a subset of what you typed exactly. Play around with it and let me know your horror stories with this feature on the forums =)

No one will see you issuing the commands (even you) if you prefix it with a '/'

/@kick Phogue
(this text won't be displayed in the game)

Scope of responses
=======================================
Prefix private @
Only you will see the response.
Prefix admins #
Only admins, including you, will see the response.
Prefix public !
Everyone will see the response.

Arguments
=======================================
[name] - A players name (partial and misspelled)
[reason] - An optional reason to be shown to the player
[team name] - "Neutral", "U.S Army", "Russian Army", "Defenders", "Attackers", "Alpha-Delta" (partial and misspelled)

Spell checker / Partial complete
=======================================
Example: @ban timsy for team killing
-> Private to Phogue: Did you mean @ban Timmsy?
@yes
-> Private to Phogue: Permanently banning Timmsy for team killing

Move / Force Move
=======================================
!move - Moves a player when they die next
!fmove - Kills the player and moves them immediately

!move [name] - Moves a player to another team (cycles through the teams)
!move [name] [squad name] - Moves the player to a squad on the same team
!move [name] [team name] - Moves the player to a specific team with no squad
!move [name [team name] [squad name] - Moves a player to specific team and squad.

Killing / Nuking
=======================================
!nuke [team name] - will show a 10 second countdown before killing everyone on [team name]. You can cancel the countdown with !cancel

Countdowns
=======================================
If no countdown is given restart and nextlevel will execute silently with no responses.
You can use @cancel to stop a countdown. Only the admin that initiated the countdown can stop it.

Exec command
=======================================
Anybody with an account can issue an @exec command that will execute the config. The config author is responsible for insuring the executing account holder has sufficient privileges. Only configs located in /Configs/CInGameAdmin/ will be executed. No pre-made configs are provided with procon, but you can visit the forums to download configs to extend the in game admin such as:
startmatch.cfg
mode_cq.cfg
mode_rush.cfg
mode_sqrush.cfg
mode_sqdm.cfg

"@exec -l" will whisper a list of available configs to execute.

You can make/edit/copy/whatever any more configs, essentially allowing you to make your own in game commands =)
