Legacy:Console Commands/Admin Console Commands

What follows is a definition of all of the server administration console commands that are in general use across all versions of the Unreal Engine.

ADMINLOGIN <password> 

Login as an administrator.

ADMINLOGOUT 

Drop administrator access (warning: lethal for your player in game!).

ADMIN <command> 

Perform a console command on the server's console. This effectively sends the text after the ADMIN to be interpreted as a normal console command. The vast majority of commands can be run in a practice session without the ADMIN prefix.

The following console commands will only work in a networked game when you have logged in as an administrator, and you have prefixed the command with ADMIN. e.g. ADMIN PAUSE.

SERVERTRAVEL <new level URL>?game=<new gametype>?mutator=<new mutator> 

This function can be used to simply change the level, or, can also changes the level, game type, and mutator settings. TO DO: Either a link to a running the server section when it happens or cover all of the game settings in a section below. Former is probably better..

SWITCHLEVEL <new level URL> 

Causes the server to switch to a new level keeping the current game settings and mutator configurations/.

SET <package>.<classname> <property> <value> 

This command sets the attribute property on the class package.class to value. Examples of this command can be seen below (enabling and disabling the web interface, Changing Bot Skill, Minimum Players). Refer to the INI reference for packages, classnames and properties. (Example: http://www.unrealadmin.org/modules.php?name=INI_Reference&func=ut2004 ) Note the inheritance, for example Onslaught.ONSOnslaughtGame MinPlayers overrides UnrealGame.UnrealMPGameInfo MinPlayers.

SET UWeb.Webserver bEnabled <value> 

Use a value of True to enable the remote admin webserver, and a value of False to disable it. This setting change requires a level change to take effect.

SET Engine.GameInfo GameDifficulty <value> 

Sets Bot Skill level on next map change.

SET Engine.GameInfo MaxPlayers <value> 

Limit maximum number of players

SET UnrealGame.UnrealMPGameInfo MinPlayers <value> 

Bots are added up to value of MinPlayers.

KICK <playername> 

Kick a player.

KICKBAN <playername> 

Kick a player and ban his/her IP. You'll need to edit your .ini file or use the remote web admin to unban their IP.

ADDBOTS <number> 

This command adds a number of "bots" to the level. It may not work in Devastation (I've not tried).

ADDNAMEDBOT <botname> 

This command adds a single bot of the name you specify. For example - addnamedbot malcolm would add Malcolm to the current game.

KILLBOTS 

This command removes all the "bots" from the level.

ADMINSAY <text> 

In UT and UT2003 this function displays a message in the center of the screen rather than in a normal message location. This command appears not to function in Devastation. The same effect can be accomplished by simply by entering "Say # <text>" - so you can just use your Say key.

EXIT 

This function will exit the game. If this command is prefixed with ADMIN then it will shut down the server.

QUIT 

Does the same as exit.

EXEC <filename> 

This function can be used to run a local script containing console commands located within the Game/System directory by default. If this command is prefixed with ADMIN then the script must be located on the server. This function is useful if you wish to configure a server quickly. You can prepare a script with all of the admin commands needed to set up the server as required and then simply EXEC it from the command line when you join the server.

PAUSE 

This function pauses the current game. Unpausing is done by pressing PAUSE a second time.

Property	Value

Dynamic arrays can be set through set MyClass MyArray (1,2,3,4,5). Static arrays cannot be set in this manner.

GET <package>.<classname> <property> 

This command displays the current value of the attribute property on the class package.class.

Static arrays will only return the first element of the array in this manner.

Mortal Monkey: Does anyone know how to SET (and GET) array elements? Apparantly the good old brackets don't work.

Foxpaw: I don't think that you can. Though if it is indeed possible I would be highly interested in how to do it.

Mychaeel: You can set an entire array as set MyClass MyArray (1,2,3,4,5).

Mortal Monkey: Thanks :). I put it up there for ya.

Mortal Monkey: Well, I can't get it to work. I even made a mutator with a few arrays and a 'mutate ardump' command, but the best I could get was to set the first array element through skiping the parenthesis. I also tried some brackets and clamps, but to no avail.

XxDangerxX: I've found the same thing. You simply cannot do it with the way Mychaeel explained. HOWEVER!!! In the 451 update (which is apparently dodgy unless you're running a server), you can set an array like so:

set Package.Class Array <#> Value

See the release notes: [1]

Bartje321: Quit does the same as exit, only it waits till the server is empty.

Kamek: MM/Mych: I think that only works with dynamic arrays.

Lucifer Is there any way to specify a certain actor out of the group in the map, in-game, with the set command? Such as to set the Teleporter tag's and url's on each individual teleporter with just a command?

Mortal Monkey: You can set the properties of individual actors throug the EditActors command (see debugging).

EricBlade: I would like to note that these commands do not appear to be related directly to the engine, as they are actually somehow added from the Admin class. In Land of the Dead, not a one of these commands work (i had to write a mutator to give us basic admin capabilities. If anyone has any insight on how this actually works, and why these commands would not work in a game, please let me know ;)

Virmitio: Has anyone tried something like (MyArray+2) to get other elements (in this case the third one, in theory)? As for why this doesn't work in-game, it looks to me like the engine is written to allow direct code execution, just not always from the standard input (in this case, the console). I'm going to toy with this some more and see what I can find.

XxDangerxX: Can anyone suggest a way to have 2 passwords: a master one for server administration and a sub-password so select people who know it can use cheats like god and fly?

UBCS Spawn: I want to learn how to use the Adminlogin for the game but it does not let me do it i wanted to do the password but i dont know how i need some help please I also want to know what is the codes Myclass MyArray (1,2,3,4,5,).

XxJasonXx:' i dont know how to use the adminlogin for Land of the Dead i need some help for this game.
