Chat Commands

List of all available commands.

Important things to know:

  • All commands execute through the game chat (not console!) and start with the prefix !;

  • It's possible to execute a command through the console if you type it as a say command, i.e. say !info;

  • It's also possible to bind a chat command to a hotkey just like any other console commands, for example: setbind X say !info;

  • Setting the incorrect value will revert the command to its default value set in the server configs;

  • Setting any command to 0 will also revert it back to its default value from the configs;

  • Upon entering a command it will execute instantly if you have sufficient authority level, otherwise will start a vote for applying if it's accessible for voting;

  • Currently all tweaks done through chat commands reset back to default once match ends, however boolean commands might retain their value until server reastart; keep that in mind when changing any of those settings.

Public

These commands are available for everyone to use without any limitations.

Name Shortcut Arguments Description
info Shows settings for the current match; only visible to you
mystats ms Shows personal stats of the current match; only visible to you
stats <StatName> Shows stats for each player by category for everyone; enter without argument to print out available categories or look them up here
switchrole sr Switches your role from players to spectators or vice versa without reconnecting to the server; Admins can overcap slots above 6 players
lockweaponpickup lwp <true/false> Locks the ability for other players to pick up your guns
lockotherweaponpickup lowp <true/false> Locks the ability for you to pick up other people's guns
showweaponpickupmessages swpm <true/false> Enables personal chat logging for weapon pick ups. For example, you can see if someone picks up your or someone else's gun
weaponpickupammothreshold wpat <int value from 0 to 100> Locks empty weapons from picking up during waves by setting the ammo threshold below which weapons can't be picked up (measured in %)
disableitemdrop dit <true/false> If true, prevents items from dropping into Steam inventory on match end; enable if you feel tired from receiving unnecessary stuff into your inventory
zedtimeeffect zte <true/false> If set to false, disables desaturation effect during ZED time; by default it's set to (true)

Commands related to spare guns, item drops and ZED time effects will save locally into your configs, so make sure to not have them in read-only mode in order for them to work properly.

How weapon pickup system works?

Weapon locking system is designed for better spare weapon management when playing on public servers since many clueless people tend to not understand that they're not supposed to pick up or sell other people's weapons.

  • By default everyone can pick up everyone else's weapons;

  • Once !lwp is set to true, no one is able to pick up your guns anymore;

  • !lowp set to true prevents you from picking up other people's guns when you accidentally stumble across them;

  • !swpm set to true is useful for seeing who picked up whose guns, though we kept this feature disabled by default because not everyone wants to see such messages each and every time;

  • !wpat set to 5-10 prevents your empty or almost empty guns from being picked up accidentally by yourself when you swap to a spare gun in a heat of a battle (doesn't apply to trader time);

  • Keep in mind that if you accidentally dropped an empty gun, but then changed your mind because you found an ammo box, you won't be able to pick it up again until you set !wpat back to 0.

Available stats

Here's the list of arguments for the !stats command that have long and short names:

  • Accuracy (acc)
  • DamageDealt (damaged)
  • DamageTaken (damaget)
  • DoshEarned (dosh)
  • Headshots (hs)
  • HeadshotAccuracy (hsacc)
  • HealsGiven (healsg)
  • HealsReceived (healsr)

Difficulty

Name Shortcut Arguments Description
maxmonsters mm <integer value> Defines how much alive zeds can be present on map at once; hence why is referred to as MaxMonsters, same with CD
wavesize ws <integer value> Sets custom number of zeds to spawn per wave; not recommnded for manual tweaking because it overrides the numbers for all waves
disablecustomwavesize dcws <true/false> Disables custom wave size system defined by !wavesize; if set to true, wave lengths will fall back to vanilla
wavesizefakes wsf <integer value> (Deprecated) Sets wave size fakes; applies to custom wave size as well
disablewavesizefakes dwsf <true/false> (Deprecated) Disables wave size fakes system; if set to true, wavesizefakes won't take effect
wavesizemultiplier wsm <float multiplier> Multiplies the amount of zeds per each wave; respects the initial wave size, and so is useful for adjusting zed count without breaking the flow of the match
cohortsize cs <integer value> Also referred to as AI Spawn At Once; defines how much zeds are spawned simultaneously per each tick; if set to 8, 8 zeds will spawn each second
doshkill dk <float multiplier> Sets multiplier for dosh gained from killing zeds; in a normal game the value is changed dynamically throughout the game, so it makes little to no sense to tweak it manually
ammomultiplier am <float multiplier> Sets ammo multiplier for all weapons; by default each class has own values, overriding them will set the same value for all weapon classes
specialsquadcountpct sscp <float value from 0 to 1> Sets spawn percentage for special zed squads (Larges/Mediums); only works if disablecustomsquadspawns is set to false
disablecustomsquadspawns dcss <true/false> Disables special squad spawn system entirely; if set to true, returns zed spawns to vanilla spawn cycle
largezedspawnchance lzsc <float value from 0 to 1> Sets chance for zeds to spawn as larges; works additively on top of any existing spawn systems
disablelargezedspawnchance dlzsc <true/false> Disables large zed spawn chance system; if set to true, disables largezedspawnchance
disableventspawns dvs <true/false> Disables zed spawns from vents and sewers
disablemaxlargemonsters dmlm <true/false> (Deprecated) Disables large zeds alive limit which works similarly to MaxMonsters but for larges only; relies on pre-defined values in server configs
aidifficulty ad <index> Sets currently active preset for the AI Difficulty system
disablecustomaidifficulty dcad <true/false> Disables AI Difficulty system entirely, preventing !ad from working

Term fakes stands for a system that imitates a certain amount of players without them actually being in a match; basically 5 fakes means the game will act as if there were 5 players regardless of how many actual players there actually is.

Player-targeted

Used by Admin, Moderator and Helper roles for managing players on server.

These commands won't work on those players who are logged in as server admins.

Highest authority level (Admin) is not equal to being logged in as server admin, so most of the player-targeted commands will work on any players regardless of their authority level unless they're logged in as server admin.

Name Shortcut Arguments Description
playerlist pl Prints out a list of current players with their local IDs
kill <target> Kills specified player (doesn't work during trader time)
kick <target> Kicks player from the server (they can join back afterwards)
kicksessionban <target> Kicks player from the server without ability to join back until current session ends as if they were vote kicked
friendlyfire ff <target> <amount> Enables friendly fire towards specified player, where <amount> 0 means no FF, 1 means full FF; if player dies the value resets back to 0
burnplayer bp <target> <amount> Applies burning effect on the specified player that lasts 10 seconds, where <amount> is the exact value of damage per second
pukeplayer pp <target> <amount> Applies puke effect from the bloat bile on the specified player that lasts 10 seconds, where <amount> is the exact value of damage per second
playersize ps <target> <multiplier> Scales the character model of specified player, where <amount> is a multiplier (i.e. 1 means no scaling)
teleportplayer tp <target> Teleports specified player based on where your camera view is pointed at (only flat surfaces will work)

Player-targeted commands

Commands with <target> argument can take few different types of values:

  • numeric index of player that's returned by !pl command;

  • me or self;

  • all.
