Console commands

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.

Zandronum Console Commands

Command	Client or Server	Description
AddBan AddBan 192.168.2.* 2min "Test Ban"	Server	Issues a ban on an individual client or clients. Syntax for AddBan is: AddBan <IPv4> ["Reason"]. Additionally, range bans are acceptable by using wildcards, such as ( * ). However, when the client or clients are blacklisted, they will not be able to communicate with that server until the client or clients are whitelisted or expunged from the blacklist. Time When approaching this argument, the time can be inputted as 6days or even 1345years. The allowed time/date formats are: minutes, hours, days, months, and years. Perm (or permanent ban) is what it is, permanent. This can also be used as the time argument. Note: IPv4 is only supported; IPv6 is unsupported at the mean time.
AddBanExemption AddBanExemption 192.168.2.50	Server	Allows clients that are caught in a range ban to be omitted from the ban. Additionally, the clients IP will be added into the whitelist. However, if the clients IP changes, their new issued IP must be added into the whitelist.
AddBot AddBot "Strife Guy"	Both	Allows the possibility to add a bot into the game. Bots can be added just by random (AddBot) or use a specific bot (AddBot "BotName"). Zandronums's bot compatibility is different compared to ZDoom's bot compatibility, for example, the bots movement compared the two are different along with the bots response. However, these bots are only usable for deathmatch related game modes with no support for Team based games and cooperative games.
AddMap AddMap MAP02 AddMap MAP02 2 10	Server	When using 'SV_MapRotation', AddMap can be used to define what maps to include into the map list. (development version 3.1-alpha and above only) AddMap also supports optional minimum and maximum player limits.
Ban Ban JoeDirt Perm "Test"	Server	Adds the clients IP to the blacklist. Syntax for Ban is: Ban <PlayerName> ["Reason"]. Time When approaching this argument, the time can be inputted as 6days or even 1345years. The allowed time/date formats are: minutes, hours, days, months, and years. Perm (or permanent ban) is what it is, permanent. This can also be used as the time argument.
Ban_IDx Ban_IDx 5 "45 Months" "test"	Server	Bans a specific client by use of the Player index number list. Syntax for Ban_IDx is: Ban_IDx <Index integer> ["Reason"]. Time When approaching this argument, the time can be inputted as 6days or even 1345years. The allowed time/date formats are: minutes, hours, days, months, and years.

ForceSpec If passed, forces the Player call upon to Spec Map Changes the map without the intermission screen. Maps that are not specified to the servers map rotation list are not available. ChangeMap Changes the map with an intermission screen. Maps that are not specified to the servers map rotation list are not available. NextMap Changes to the next map. If the map rotation is enabled, this will go to the next map in rotation; otherwise it proceeds to the nextmap defined in the current map's MAPINFO. NextSecret Changes to the secret map, if the current map has a nextsecret defined in its MAPINFO. Otherwise, this behaves like a normal nextmap vote. FragLimit Changes the FragLimit integer value. TimeLimit Changes the TimeLimit integer value. WinLimit Changes the WinLimit integer value. DuelLimit Changes the DuelLimit integer value. PointLimit Changes the PointLimit integer value. Flag Changes whether the given DMFlag is enabled. The vote type to use when changing a flag is the console variable of that flag.
CancelVote	Both	Forces the vote to be terminated.
ChangeMap ChangeMap MAP31 or ChangeMap K1E1	Both	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.

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. Note: For specialized PWAD and compressed files, please be sure to check the .txt file that is included with the file. The raw text document should and usually contains the map ranges used, as not all projects use the standard 'MAPx' format. For example, DIP01-08.
