EDM5 Advanced Commands

Post by Masterman »

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there are any more advanced admin console commands other than the basic ones on Smartballs website?

One command I would like is admin switchlevel (map index number). Putting in the index number would be alot easier than typing the entire map name out. I have tried experimenting with different alterations of the command, but non seem to work..

Also, the command to switch death match mutators, like lets say switching DMRevenge to DM regular. Our server has the mutator vote disabled as it has always been a revenge server. Once in awhile though, I get some freinds in the server that want to play KOTH or something.

You guys know of any? I don't think smartball's email is still active, so I haven't tried emailing him, and I have searched on his site for any hints, but to no avail...

Thanks,

Masterman

See this:

And this:
http://unreal.epicgames.com/UTConsole.htm

While for changing the game type, use ADMIN SERVERTRAVEL filenameame?game=group.name . For map index, I don't think there is a command to do so.

Thank you for the game type command and the links. ;)

However, I stumbled across this while on the console cammand site: LOADGAME num: Load a game in position 0-9.

Obviously there is a command that should allow me to switch maps under the xMaps (index number), I just need to learn the right command language...Anyone got some advice?

Thanks

No. Loadgame is for loading local saved games, not for opening new ones. It's easier to use the full name (extension not needed) as you won't open a game you don't want, not good if the map is called like ---===Esper - V2===---, those really are hard to find... Best to rename and then they're OK. Though others will need to rename/redownload.

All admin commands that are implemented by EDM are listed on my website. There are no additional commands that I didn't mention.

As of now, there is no command to switch maps by index number. If there are any additional releases in the future, I will certainly take that suggestion into consideration.

The only way to switch mutators in-game is to use ?Mutator= in your switchlevel string. i.e. Switchlevel DmCurse?Mutator=EDM5_Revenge.EDMRevengeMut

Remember that mutator voting was never truly intended to be a fully supported part of EDM, as it was just a mutator I made for my server that I ended up putting up for download due to numerous requests. This is the main reason why there is very little flexibility with it.

Also, over the years I know I have named many e-mail addresses for myself, but I still check ALL of them actively, so you shouldn't have trouble contacting me through e-mail if necessary.

Highly unlikely, unfortunately :-/

I have no time for much of anything in the gaming world anymore. School has kept me busy and I've got a great internship lined up for the summer - no more sitting on my ass in front of the computer all day lol.
