This guide covers settings that can be reached through the in-game console (bound to F1 by default). While there are more console commands possible, these are the most commonly used and useful ones.

Using The Console

Logging In As Admin

All commands require logging in with the admin password first (see Server Hosting to set server_admin_password). You only need to log in once per session (i.e., each reconnect, not on map rotation). 

rc login <server_admin_password>

If you don’t see any console output confirming the login, press F1 a couple of times to close and reopen the console.

Sending Remote Commands

All remote commands are prefixed with rc (local-only console commands omit it). For example, rc help prints remote commands; help shows only local ones.

The console supports Tab auto-completion.

Examples:

  1. Typing rc set drawFir then Tab expands to rc set drawFirearmTrajectories.
  2. Typing rc carbonPlayers force then Tab chooses forceInput… up to the ambiguity.

Sending Multiple Commands Per Line

Separate with semicolons: 

rc <command1>; <command2>; <command3>; <command4>

Example (broadcast, disable god mode, enable firing): 

rc broadcast Begin your fight!
rc set characterGodMode 1
rc set allowFiring true

One-liner: 

rc broadcast Begin your fight!;set characterGodMode 1;set allowFiring true

Delayed Execution Commands

Run a command when the round clock reaches a time (seconds): 

rc delayed <time> <command>

Example (warning at 10:00, all charge at 08:00, disable firing at 08:00): 

rc delayed 600 broadcast All charge at 08:00
rc delayed 480 broadcast All Charge!  No Firing!
rc delayed 480 set allowFiring false

Console Commands

Some commands take arguments. Required args are shown as <likeThis>; optional args as [<likeThis>]. If you use a later optional arg, supply those before it.

Types:

String Any text
Boolean true or false
Integer Whole number
Float Number with decimals
List One of a fixed set (e.g., faction names)

Notes:

  • To get your position/rotation in-game: type get in the console.
  • Player IDs: see the Admin/Mute window (P by default) or rc playerlist.
  • You can run any of these automatically from your Server Configuration map rotations.

Configuration Variables

These server-side variables affect gameplay and usually persist across rotations. Best practice: set your defaults at the start of a “staging” rotation (e.g., Training Grounds).

Type rc get to list them all. Since 0.38, you can reset everything with: 

rc set default

Example: spawn 50 bots: 

rc carbonPlayers spawn 50

Most commands require prerequisites (be near object/horse/player, LoS, correct class), and many affect ALL bots.
