Commands is very useful to control the game settings and available settings. Every setting can be controlled by either commands or Console_Variables, this allows users and server administrators greater flexibility of control. Additionally, commands can be entered via console from either the server console, RCon utility, or the clients individually. Clients can enter commands by using the console by pressing the (~) key (US English Keyboards); Furthermore, clients can also control the servers via RCon control, but the clients must have the correct RCon password in order to use this permission.

ChangeMap

ChangeMap MAP31 or ChangeMap K1E1

This CCMD allows the server to switch to another specified map. As this CCMD is adjacent to 'Map' CCMD, ChaneMap will not force the clients to reconnect back to the server, but the clients will go into the intermission screen instead. When using this CCMD, be sure to use the 'Map LUMP Name' and not the name of the level. For example, do not use 'ChangeMap "The Entryway", but instead use 'ChangeMap MAP01'. If this CCMD is used within the server, all clients are forced to automatically reconnect to the server. Furthermore, if the client uses this CCMD while on the server, the client will disconnect from the server and start a new single player game.
