Admin Commands

Coming soon

This isn't in a Deadworks release yet. It describes features coming in an upcoming version.

Step 2 of 4 in Admins & Permissions. Before this: make yourself admin.

These commands come with Deadworks' built-in Admin plugin. Every command can be typed three ways:

Where	Type	Example
Chat	! or / then the command	!kick lapka
Your game console	dw_ then the command	dw_kick lapka
The server console	dw_ then the command	dw_kick lapka

Admin commands never show up in public chat, even with !. Commands that print a list (who, bans, gags, mutes, penalties, map on its own) print it in your console. dw_help lists the commands you're allowed to use.

How to Target

Target	Meaning
lapka	The player whose name matches, in full or in part. If several match, you're shown them and nothing happens.
"Big Dave"	Names with spaces go in quotes
#3	The player in slot 3 (see who)
76561197960287931	That SteamID. STEAM_0:1:11101 and [U:1:22203] work too.
@me	Yourself
@team	Everyone on your team
@enemy	Everyone on the other team
@all	Everyone on the server

• Groups (@team, @enemy, @all) only work for kick, slay and who. A group kick leaves you out.
• You can't target anyone with higher immunity than yours. Groups skip them.
• ban, gag, mute and their un commands also take the SteamID of someone who has left.
• Bots can be kicked and slain, but not banned, gagged or muted.
• A player who has just joined can't be banned, gagged or muted until Steam confirms them, a few seconds later. The server console can anyway.

Moderation Commands

Durations are in minutes: 60 is an hour, 1440 a day, 10080 a week, 0 is permanent.

Command	Permission	Format	Description
kick	admin.moderation.kick	<target> [reason]	Kicks a player. They can rejoin.
ban	admin.moderation.ban	<target|steamid> <minutes|0> [reason]	Bans a player, on the server or not. Also called addban.
unban	admin.moderation.unban	<steamid> [reason]	Lifts a ban
bans	admin.moderation.ban		Lists active bans
gag	admin.moderation.gag	<target|steamid> <minutes|0> [reason]	Stops a player typing in chat
ungag	admin.moderation.gag	<target|steamid> [reason]	Lifts a gag
gags	admin.moderation.gag		Lists active gags
mute	admin.moderation.mute	<target|steamid> <minutes|0> [reason]	Stops a player talking on voice chat
unmute	admin.moderation.mute	<target|steamid> [reason]	Lifts a mute
mutes	admin.moderation.mute		Lists active mutes
slay	admin.moderation.slay	<target>	Kills a player's hero
who	admin.moderation.who	[target]	Lists players with their slot, SteamID, team, roles, and whether they're gagged, muted or not yet verified by Steam
penalties	anyone, for themselves	[target|steamid]	Shows bans, gags and mutes, past and present, with who gave them and how they ended. Looking up someone else needs admin.moderation.who.

!gag lapka 30 spamming chat
!ban lapka 0 cheating
!ban 76561197960287931 1440 ban evasion
!slay @enemy

• The time comes before the reason. !gag lapka spamming doesn't work.
• Penalizing someone again replaces what they had. Replacing a ban with a shorter one also needs admin.moderation.unban.
• Nobody can penalize themselves.
• Deadworks enforces penalties, not the plugin: banned players are turned away, gagged players' chat and muted players' voice are dropped, and they're told why. They're saved in configs/penalties/penalties.jsonc and survive restarts and map changes. After editing that file by hand, run dw_penalties_reload.

Server Commands

Command	Permission	Format	Description
map	admin.server.map	[name|cancel]	Changes map after a 3-second warning. On its own it lists the maps; cancel calls off a pending change.
cvar	admin.server.cvar	<name> [value]	Shows or changes a server setting, including sv_cheats and sv_password
resetcvar	admin.server.cvar	<name>	Puts a setting back to its default
execcfg	admin.server.config	<file>	Runs a config file from the server's cfg/ folder
rcon	admin.server.rcon	<command>	Runs any server console command and shows its output

cvar can't touch rcon_password.
