Player Role and Usage

By definition, all non-spectating clients are players.  Team captains are also considered as players and the referee may also be a player if the server allows.  For team games, some additional commands are available in games where explicit ready is enabled.

 

Commands Available to Players:

In addition to voting, the following is a list of commands that are available to players and their uses.  Unless otherwise noted, the server admin can choose to enable and disable each of them individually.  Also, refer to Appendix A for a table of all commands and their overall possible permission settings.

Not all available commands may be enabled for player access as the server admin may choose to restrict access with the enable/disable command.  Enter the help role command ( /? role) at the console to list all available commands.

< ... > indicates required parameter.  [ ... ] indicates optional parameter.

 Command & Usage
Description
 ready Makes the player ready for battle if explicit ready is enabled for the current gametype.  Once all players are ready, warmup will begin and the match will start afterwards.  If allowed, players may enter notready anytime during warmup to cancel the countdown.  If explicit ready is enabled for the current gametype, this command is always available.
 notready
If enabled, notready may be entered anytime before the match starts to cancel the ready status can abort the warmup countdown.
 invite <user ID> Invite a player to join the player's team who may have been locked out by a previous remove command or to override team locks.  This command will not override the team max limit, if any.  Once an invitation is extended, the player will have 30 seconds to join, after which he/she cannot join if team locks are in effect.  Players may invite more than one player at a time and not have to wait for 30 seconds to elapse between players.
 suggest [comment]
If enabled, suggest can be a powerful tool to help server admins know better what their players want. Effectively, this will dump the current settings of all unprotected variables to a file in a safe directory for server admins to review and implement if so desired.  All files suggested are placed in a directory called suggestions and are named with the map that was playing at the time and a number representing the time elapsed in seconds.  Optionally, the player making the suggestion can include a comment that will be placed in the header of the created file as a means of leaving a message for the server admin.
