Admin Features

Unless stated otherwise, all server config commands listed in this page are global rotation commands, which means that they can either be placed inside a map rotation to apply to that rotation only, or else before the map rotations section to apply to all map rotations.

Ray-Gun System

When logged in as admin, any player you are aiming at should have their name highlighted in green. If you open the Round Players Panel while a player is highlighted (default "P" keybind) that player will be automatically selected for quick admin action access. Common actions also have their own hotkey shortcuts for even quicker access:

Number Key	Action
1	Private Message
2	Slay
3	Revive
4	Slap
5	Heal
6	Bring
7	Go To
8	Temp Voip Mute
9	Temp Chat Mute

When the dialog box is open after pressing an admin action key, you can press the "Enter" key for quick confirmation.

You can toggle the admin ray-gun system between "Always On", "Freeflight Only", and "Off" modes via a button at the bottom of the Round Players Panel.

Fire Out of Line

Fire Out of Line (FOL) only allows shooting firearms while players are within a line. To enable it, use:

fol_enabled true

There are 4 different settings that you can set either globally or per player class.

Setting Name	Description	Default Value
radius	The farthest distance (in metres) a player can be from a player line in order to be considered part of the line.	1.5 (m)
mounted_radius	Same as "radius" but only relevant while the player is mounted on a horse.	25 (m)
artillery_radius	If a player is within this distance to an artillery piece, they can fire even if not within a line.	0 (disabled)
players_needed	The minimum number of players needed - including the local player - to form a valid line.	3

Some classes have specific default value overrides, listed here:

Class	Setting	Override Value
Light Infantry	radius	5
Rifleman	radius	5
Cannoneer	artillery_radius	15
Rocketeer	artillery_radius	15
Sapper	artillery_radius	15

To override the defaults for all classes with your own values, you can use the following command. Note that this will not affect classes that have a default override for that setting i.e. the ones listed in the table above.

fol_default <FOLSettingName> <value>

You can also override any default value for any specific class using this command. This will also override any class default override values listed above.

fol_class <PlayerClass> <FOLSettingName> <value>

When a player dies, a temporary "ghost" will spawn in their place so that the line doesn't immediately break. The default ghost lifetime is 3 seconds. You can change this via this command:

fol_ghost_duration <value>

If a player fires out of line, they will be blocked from firing again for a default duration of 2 seconds. You can change this value via this command:

fol_fire_block_duration <value>

You can also punish players that fire out of line with automatically applied slap damage. You can do this via this command, which is set to 0 by default:

fol_slap_damage <value>

Players will be notified when firing out of line. There are 2 possible notifications that depend on the maximum radius value of the player class. The 2 notifications are as follows:

1. "Firing out of line! Make sure you're shoulder to shoulder when firing."
2. "Skirmish order! Make sure you’re closer to other units when firing."

By default, the first notification will be shown if the radius is 3m or less. Otherwise, the second notification will be shown. You can change this distance threshold value via this command:

fol_skirmish_distance_threshold <value>

Example:

fol_enabled true
fol_slap_damage 50
fol_fire_block_duration 5
fol_ghost_duration 4
fol_default players_needed 5
fol_default radius 2
fol_class rifleman radius 10
fol_class lightinfantry players_needed 2
fol_class lightinfantry artillery_radius 10

For a rotation containing FOL commands as in the example above:

• If a player fires out of line, he will take 50 slap damage and he will also be blocked from firing again for 5 seconds.
• If a player dies, his ghost will still form part of a valid line for 4 seconds after death.
• By default, for a line to be valid it will need to contain a minimum of 5 players.
• By default, a player will need to be at most 2m away from another player that is part of a line to also form part that line.
• Riflemen can be 10m away from a line of players to be able to shoot, instead of just 2m. However, if they are more than 2m away from their line, they will not be counted as part of a line for other players.
• Light infantry will be able to shoot if they are part of a line that contains just 2 players, i.e. they just have to be next to 1 other player. However, if the line contains less than 5 players, any other non-light infantry players in the line will not be able to shoot.
• If a light infantry is within 10m distance from an artillery piece, they will be able to shoot even if they are not part of any line.

All Charge

When All Charge is activated, firing is restricted. It can be enabled at any time via the RC command:

rc ac <delay>

(inputting no delay parameter defaults to a value of 0)

A delay value of 0 triggers an All Charge immediately.

A delay value of -1 cancels any active or pending All Charge.

You can also have All Charge trigger automatically by setting the auto trigger mode. There are 4 different modes.

Mode Name	Description
none	Auto trigger system disabled.
time_only	All Charge will trigger at a set round time.
percent_only	All Charge will trigger after the percentage players left alive is equal or lower than the set value (only applies to game modes with a round spawn close time).
percent_or_time	All Charge will trigger when either the time condition or the percent condition is met, whichever becomes true first.

To set the Auto Trigger Mode, use:

all_charge_auto_trigger_mode <AutoTriggerMode>

Other All Charge Commands

Config Command	Description	Argument
all_charge_trigger_delay	If set, players will be notified about any scheduled all charge this amount of seconds before the time trigger.	float (s)
all_charge_time_trigger	Sets the round time value for the auto trigger system.	float (s)
all_charge_percent_players_trigger	Sets the percent value for the auto trigger system.	float (0-1 range)
all_charge_percent_trigger_min_players_needed	The percent trigger will only activate if the round started with a minimum of this number of players.	int
all_charge_block_pistol_fire	Sets whether to block pistol fire during All Charge.	bool
all_charge_block_artillery_fire	Sets whether to block artillery fire during All Charge.	bool
all_charge_slow_cavalry	Sets whether cavalry should be restricted to a slow speed during All Charge.	bool

P.S. If All Charge is triggered by an automatic time trigger, players will be notified at round time of [all_charge_time_trigger] + [all_charge_trigger_delay]. Then All Charge will be enabled at round time of [all_charge_time_trigger].

However, if All Charge is triggered by an automatic percentage trigger, players will be notified at the exact time when the percentage threshold is met, and then All Charge will be enabled [all_charge_trigger_delay] seconds later.

Example:

all_charge_auto_trigger_mode time_only
all_charge_time_trigger 300
all_charge_trigger_delay 30
all_charge_block_pistol_fire false

For a rotation containing all charge commands as in the example above, at time 5:30, all players will be notified that All Charge will activate at 5:00. Then at 5:00 All Charge will become active, but pistols will still be usable.

Artillery Settings

The first cannoneer or rocketeer to use an artillery piece in a round gets listed as the claimant of that piece in the Artillery Priority Panel. If the same player claims another artillery piece, then the first claim will get revoked. Notifications will be sent to both the claimant player and any player who tries to use an artillery piece that is already claimed, if enabled via this config command:

arty_claiming_notifications true

Other Artillery Commands

Config Command	Description
arty_firing_start_time	Disables artillery firing until the set time in seconds has passed.
arty_on_arty_start_time	Disables artillery fire damaging other artillery pieces until the set time in seconds has passed.

Map Rotations Panel

The map rotations panel shows a list of all rotations in the server config. You can rotate to any map and can even choose to load a rotation with different factions than those set in the config file.

Mod map names will be listed as "Custom Mod Map" by default. However, you can set a custom name for rotations that use mod maps in the server config file by using the below command.

With the release of the 'Field Orders' update you're now similarly able to override the name of official maps.

map_name_override <name>
