Using The Server
This page is dedicated to teach the player to how use the different functionalities available in the server.
As you may have already known, the !run command is your gateway to almost doing anything in the server.
You can use !run dm to instantly switch to Deathmatch Mode and !run tdm to instantly switch to Team Deathmatch Mode.
Remember to always use !run dm or !run tdm once before you or your group of players start playing a match, even if the mode is already correct this makes sure its not still using previous settings like our Surf config.
!run is used to start matches, !run 1v1 will start a 15 minutes match. !run 2v2 (Up to 7v7) will start a 20 minutes match with friendly fire ON.
!run can also be used to start eFPS standard Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch matches, with !run efpsdm (for a 10 minute 1v1 match) and !run efpstdm (for a 15 min TDM match)
If you wish to have sv_alltalk set to 1 during a 1v1 match, 2v2 match or even an eFPS match, simply add the prefix "at" (Without the quotes) before the match you wish to run.
Examples: !run at1v1, !run at2v2 (Up to at7v7), !run atefpstdm, !run atefpsdm.
!run is also used to switch to your map of choice, the shortcuts for the maps are available at the Maps help page.
And finally, !run is used to switch to any of the gamemodes available in the server. The shortcuts are available in the Gamemodes help page.
A reminder that abusing !run as mentioned in the Rules will put you at risk of having your !run right removed.
