First of all, congratulations on your achievement in being welcomed into one of the coolest and most exclusive clubs on the internet: CG Admins. You may have noticed that if you weren't previously funny, charming, handsome, and intelligent, you are now. That's just one of the many perks of becoming a CG Admin. Don't forget to apply for your free (And exclusive) Texaco Express Tire & Lube Discount Card* after one month of membership.
Now that you're done celebrating, let's get to it!
First, in your console "
sm_help 1; sm_help 2; sm_help 3; sm_help 4; sm_help 5; sm_help 6; sm_help 7; sm_help 8"
That will display every possible command you have access to. Copy them and paste them in a notepad document for your own personal reference (I would also recommend using cl1p.net, a browser-based notepad application) Different ranks will yield different amounts of commands. A Head Admin will have access to more commands than a Veteran, Veteran more than a Regular, etc. It wouldn't hurt to read through this list to familiarize yourself with what you're capable of.
Now, you should know that you don't HAVE to type "sm_" for your commands:
sm_ is for use in console (Very handy for binding keys or script writing.) Example:
sm_slay name! is for chat, and will announce your action to everyone. Example:
!slay name/ is for chat, but is anonymous. Your action will remain anonymous Example:
/slay nameAs an admin, your sweet Utility Belt** will be your
/admin command. This will create a visual menu so you can easily select to slay, ban, change map, initiate a vote, etc. all at a few clicks of the mouse. Handy for beginners or those too lazy to memorize commands (This is most handy for changing maps, which requires spelling the map's name perfectly (This can become difficult if you don't recall what type of map it is, or which version it is.)
Name:When putting in a name, only partial matches are necessary. For example, to slay someone named Johnny, all you would need to type is "
/slay joh" You could also go with nearly any portion of his name as long as it only applies to him. If someone else on the server were named "John," then you would have to use whatever portion of his name is exclusive to him. In this case it would be "nny" or "hnn." If you do something that applies to multiple people you'll receive a message and the command won't go through. So don't worry about that.
Time:The time portion of a command calls for minutes. Any of you can do the math to figure out your goal, but to make things easier, here are the most commonly used amounts of time.
1440 - 1 Day
10080 - 1 Week
0 - Permaban
Banning players:/
To ban players who are on the server: /ban name time reason
Example: /ban Johnny 1440 Being a jerk
To ban players who have already left the server: /addban time steamID reason
Example: /addban 1440 Steam_0:0:0000000 Being a jerk
Teleport:
/bring name (Brings player to wherever you're targetting)
/goto name (Brings you to any player's area)
Of course, you'll also want to make note of the following:
/mute name (Stops mic use)
/gag name (Stops chat use)
/silence name (Simultaneous gag & mute)
/say message (Comments in the chat box that every user can see)
/csay message (Displays your comment in center of every player's screen for about two seconds. Keep it short)
/psay name message (Sends private message to a user)
@message (Displays message in chat box only admins can see)
To undo most commands, just place "un" in front of the command name. For example:
/unmute name
/ungag name
/unban steamID
Lastly, don't forget to look at our rules and punishment standards, and feel free to ask any questions you might have.
