Server can send two types of landmines reveal notification. Standard one, generated (sent) for each landmine revealed and summary one,

which is sent after player spotting landmines stops using binoculars.

It's generated after each binculars zoom.

Parameters

Type: [0|1|2|3]

Default: 3

User Database, XP Save, Shrubbot and Bans

g_dbDirectory

Description

If set the server stores various information about server statistics, map information, sprees, users, bans and XP save. To use any of the functionalities, this must be set. The cvar defines a directory and only a directory that is relative to fs_game. All the used filenames are predefined and cannot be changed. For security reasons, this cvar must be set during server initialisation. (i.e. It may not be changed when the server is running.) In this directory there can be 5 files, depending of other server settings.

- userdb.db is a binary format file that contain all the required information about shrubbot users and also all saved XP if the server is set to save XP
- userxdb.db is a binary format file that contain related to players playing on the server
- serverstat.cfg is a human readable file that contain server statistics and map sprees if the server is set to store them
- shrubbot.cfg is a human readable file that contain level configurations, custom commands and bans
- mapvoteinfo.cfg This file contains information relating g_gametype 6, which is map voting.

All the required files will be created automatically to the folder when needed if there aren't any suitable files already present.

You can freely edit the human readable files by hand as long as their correct format remains and the server is notified of the changes using appropriate shrubbot commands. With the exceptions of serverstat.cfg and mapvoteinfo.cfg that will be overwritten by the server. If you want to hand edit the values of these files, the server be shutdown.

Parameters

Type: string

Default: "database"

Note

The server reads the value of this cvar only from the config file or from the command line. It cannot be edited using RCON. If you want to store all the files in the same root directory where all the pk3 files and binaries are, you can set this cvar to value ".". It will then use the fs_game directory.

g_dbUserMaxAge

Description

The number of seconds that user is saved to the database since any data of this user was last saved to database.

The database cleaning is done during intermission so this should not cause any performance problems when actions are taken. However, by setting this value to 0 or not setting the value at all, will disable the feature.

For servers with high database sizes, this can improve performance since users that are not needed will be removed automatically.

You can use a modifiers with this value. Here are some examples:

set g_dbUserMaxAge "1o" - 1 month

set g_dbUserMaxAge "2w" - 2 weeks

set g_dbUserMaxAge "5d" - 5 days

set g_dbUserMaxAge "36h" - 36 hours

set g_dbUserMaxAge "120m" - 120 minutes

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 0

g_XPSave

Description

Controls XP save behaviours.

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Default: 0

Note

Storing XP requires PunkBuster GUID. However, XP save is safe to use even if all players wouldn't have GUIDs

g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp

Description

The number of seconds that must pass without saving XP from this player before XPSave forgets his/her xp skills. Admins can adjust the amount of required XP to save with g_XPSaveMinXP server cvar.

You can use a modifier with this value. Here are some examples:

set g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp "1o" - 1 month

set g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp "2w" - 2 weeks

set g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp "5d" - 5 days

set g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp "36h" - 36 hours

set g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp "120m" - 120 minutes

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 1d

Note

If g_XPSaveMaxAge is less than g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp, g_XPSaveMaxAge will be used.

g_XPSaveMaxAge

Description

The number of seconds that must pass without saving XP from this player before XPSave forgets his/her skills/killrating/playerrating/mute status. Admins can adjust the amount of required XP to save with g_XPSaveMinXP server cvar.

You can use a modifier for this value. Here are some examples:

set g_XPSaveMaxAge "1o" - 1 month

set g_XPSaveMaxAge "2w" - 2 weeks

set g_XPSaveMaxAge "5d" - 5 days

set g_XPSaveMaxAge "36h" - 36 hours

set g_XPSaveMaxAge "120m" - 120 minutes

g_XPSaveMinXP

Description

The increment of XP that is required for the time of the latest XP save to get updated. The silEnT mod separates the XP save and connection times so that players who visit spectators without playing will not be removed by the g_dbUserMaxAge but can still lose their stored XP if they do not play. Admins can adjust the requirement with this value. Using -1 will disable the requirement and XP save will consider every connect valid for the XP save. Using value 0, will consider XP save valid if the player has gained even 1 XP point during the map. Please note that the this value is only for one map and using high values may cause some players to not achieve enough XP to get their last stored XP time to get updated and also new XP to get saved. Also notice that this does not prevent SMG weapon statistics to get updated but it can prevent class XP and rating values to get updated into the database.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: -1

g_maxXP

Description

This is a vicious cvar that will reset a players XP once their overall XP score reaches it.

Set this to -1 to disable it.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: -1

g_maxXPResetWarn

Description

Displays a message warning players whose XP is close to being reset due to the g_maxXP setting. The warning is displayed every thirty seconds once the warning threshold is passed.

This setting can have an integer value (eg, 950), in which case it means that the player will be warned every thirty seconds once he has more than 950 XP.

This setting can also have percentage value (eg, "90%"), and that will cause the warnings to start when the player reaches 90% of g_maxXP XP.

If you specify a negative value, players will be warned when that offset is hit. For example:

For a value of -75, warnings will to display then players have g_maxXP - 75 XP

For a value of -2%, warnings will display when players have 98% of g_maxXP

Set this to 0 to disable it.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 0

g_damageXP

Description

Optionally enables the awarding of XP based upon the amount of damage a player has done to the opposing team.

Parameters

Type: integer

Disabled: use normal ET XP awarding methods

1 point of XP is awarded per g_damageXPLevel points of damage done. The XP is placed in the skill category of the weapon used. When this mode is enabled, kills (regardless of method) are awarded a fixed value of 1 point of XP.

1 point of XP is awarded per g_damageXPLevel points of damage done. The XP is placed in the Battle Sense category. Normal XP amounts are awarded for kills (typically 3-5 XP).

Default: 0

g_damageXPLevel

Description

This setting determines the amount of damage that a player must do to earn 1 point of XP. See g_damageXP for additional information.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 50

Description

This is a bitmask that controls the XP decay feature.

g_XPDecayRate

Description

This is the rate (in skillpoints per second) that XP skill points for each skill will decay when g_XPDecay is enabled.

Setting this to 0.1 would result in a player losing 6 points per minute IN ALL SKILLS, so up to 42XP per minute if the player has skill points for each skill.

You can use a modifier with this value. Here are some examples:

set g_xpDecayRate "5000/o" - Decay 5000xp per skill per month

set g_xpDecayRate "1000/w" - Decay 1000xp per skill per week

set g_xpDecayRate "500/d" - Decay 500xp per skill per day

set g_xpDecayRate "40/h" - Decay 40xp per skill per hour

set g_xpDecayRate "2/m" - Decay 2xp per skill per minute

Parameters

Type: float

Default: 0.0

g_XPDecayFloor

Description

This is the minimum that any particular skill can be reduced to by g_XPDecay.

For example, setting this to 140.0 will ensure that no player will ever lose rank or skill levels due to g_XPDecay.

Parameters

Type: float

Default: 0.0

g_minCommandWaitTime

Description

Time you have to wait between using 2 shrubbot commands in milliseconds.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 0

g_tyranny

Description

This cvar controls the use of administrator commands that could be used by admins to cheat or abuse players. If it is set to 0 you will not be able to use commands on your server such as !gib, !slap, !burn, etc.

Also, you will not be able to use g_logOptions flag 256 (log private messages) unless g_tyranny is enabled.

g_tyranny must also be enabled in order to specify a client in using the 'playsound' server command.

'g_tyranny' and its value appear in the serverInfo string to serve as a warning for perspective players.

Parameters

Type: [0|1]

Default: 0

Note:

If you enable this, you MUST do so immediately when the server starts (before the first map is loaded). This means putting "set g_tyranny 1" in the .cfg file that is exec'ed on server start. If you try to change this on a running server, you will get the message "g_tyranny is read only."

g_warningOptions

Description

This cvar changes the behaviour of the shrubbot !warn command. By setting flag 1 or 2 you activate the advanced warning (storage) system

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Default: 0

g_maxWarnings

Description

The ammount of warnings that can be stored for 1 player.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 3

g_warningDecay

Description

The time in hours that a warning will be stored.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 24

g_autoTempBan

Description

When set, anyone kicked for the reasons you specify, will be temporarily banned for g_autoTempBanTime seconds.

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Tempban when reaching g_teamDamageRestriction

Tempban when someone is kicked by a shrubbot admin (using the !kick command). A normal shrubbot !kick kicks for 120 seconds

Tempban when someone is kicked by the advanced warning system. A normal kick by the warning system lasts 120 seconds

Default: 0

g_autoTempBanTime

Description

The number of seconds kicked for when g_autoTempBan is set.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 1800

g_minConnectLevel

Description

The minimum shrubbot adminlevel required for players to be able to connect.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 0

Note

This only works for positive levels, any value <= 0 will allow everyone to connect. Bots won't be able to connect either.

g_greetingPos

Description

Location where the shrubbot greetings are displayed.

Parameters

Type: [ 0 | 1 | 2 | 4 ]

Default: 0

g_punkBuster

Description

Starting from the version 0.3.0, the silEnT mod admins can use g_punkBuster server cvar. With this cvar, admins can either force clients to enable PunkBuster or deny players without GUIDs to enter the server. The values cannot be used in combination and they have no effect if the server is running PunkBuster.

The possibility to deny players without GUID to enter is important because the silEnT mod no longer enforces bans without GUIDs to all players without GUIDs. IP and client identification is still used with guidless bans. Also, an informative message is displayed to the player as what was the real reason he couldn't connect.

The possibility to enable the client PunkBuster is important for the servers without running the PunkBuster themselves. This allows the players to be stored in the database and save XP if they have PunkBuster GUID from playing some server with PunkBuster enabled. If the client doesn't have punkbuster installed, this flag has no effect and it doesn't deny the player from connecting to the server. Also, silEnT mod doesn't do anything else but enables the client PunkBuster. The GUID must be acquired in the normal way.

The values do not work well in combination because the player will get denied access to the server before his PunkBuster starts if the value 2 is set.

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Default: 0

g_identOptions

Description

Starting from version 0.3.0, the silEnT mod can be configured to enforce bans using hardware based identification. This is not any fool proof system but it is made to be an addition to the already existing ban methods. The hardware identification cannot be seen in human readable form by admins while on the server. The data that is sent to the server can be seen in the client by making /cg_ident in the console. That is a hexadecimal string which changes its value between maps. The format and data used to create the client Identification may change between the versions of the silEnT mod. The server can be configured with the g_identOptions server cvar.

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Enable client PunkBuster

Do not allow players without GUIDs to enter the server

Default: 0

g_adminProtection

Description

Starting from silEnT 0.5.0, admins can be protected against spoofing. The protection works by establishing trust between the client and the server. The trust must be issued by a human admin online for them to get access to their assigned level. Specific command, !confirm can be used for it. Do note that establishing the trust between the server and the player is not the same as assigning admin level. In fact, anyone who is capable of recognizing the real admin can safely do that. The admin protection is designed so tha only the important admins are protected. This mean that levels above the g_protectMinLevel will need to have established trust between the server and the client. Normal guests do not need this. It is also advisable to not set the g_protectMinLevel too low to reduce server load with these admins.

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Log succesfull authentications to the cheat log

Log admin spoofing attempts to the cheat log

Report admins waiting for confirmation on their level to the admin chat

Default: 7

g_protectMinLevel

Description

Starting from silEnT 0.5.0, admins can be protected against spoofing. The protection works by establishing trust between the client and the server if the admin level is higher then the g_protectMinLevel. Setting this to -1 will disable the freature. Do note that when you enable the feature, noone has yet established trust with the server and the first one to have it, must be confirmed by an rcon command. Either !setlevel if the database still doesn't have admins or !confirm if the admin has been set in the database already.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: -1

Flood Protection

g_floodprotect

Description

Enable/disable silEnT flood protect. Flooding means that a client is sending too many messages to the server (vsays, callvotes, etc...). Enabling g_floodprotect disables the engine's sv_floodprotect functionality. If you enable g_floodprotect, make sure you set a value for g_floodthreshold.

Parameters

Type: [0|1]

Default: 1

g_floodthreshold

Description

The number of messages per second before ignoring the client's messages. Only in effect when g_floodprotect is turned on.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 6

g_floodWait

Description

The minimum number of milliseconds between two messages when g_floodprotect is enabled. This is a hard limit so admins aren't allowed to override it. 1000 milliseconds copies sv_floodprotect behaviour. This CVAR should not have a value below 500 in order to keep a public server playable.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 1000

g_voiceChatsAllowed

Description

The number of voicechats allowed in minute?? (Undocumented ETPub cvar).

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 4

Player Statistics, Rating and Team Balance

g_playerRating_mapPad

Description

On an silEnT installation with little statistics history, !howfair will not print out very accurate data. g_playerRating_mapPad is a cvar that attempts to stabilize early !howfair results by adding a number of fake wins to each team. If you set it to 50, it starts with Axis = 50, Allies = 50 wins. This yields a map rating of 50% for both teams on that map. For every 2 real games played, 1 map pad value is ignored. So after 100 games, map pad is ignored (replaced with real games).

The higher map pad, the longer the values will stay near 50-50.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 50

g_playerRating_minplayers

Description

The minimum number of players that must participate in a map in order for it to count towards each player's player rating.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 8

g_stats

Description

This is a bitflag cvar used to control the way statistics are handled.

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Default: 0

Note

Set this to 3 to use the behaviour of etmain and shrubet.

g_shuffle_rating

Description

Sets the rating system used by shuffle.

Parameters

Type: [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 ]

When shooting a corpse to gib, do not count it as a hit.

When shooting a corpse to gib, do not count it as a shot.

Default: 3

g_killRating

Description

When not set to 0 silEnT will track a player's killing ability using an ELO type statistic similar to chess. Each kill will increase a player's kill rating based on how hard the kill was. Killing unskilled players will result in very few points whereas an unskilled player killing a skilled player will result in more points. Kill rating also takes into account the weapon used (less for arty, more for knife).

g_playerRating

Description

When not set to non zero positive value, silEnT will track a player's ability to win against good teams using an ELO type statistic similar to chess. Each win will increase a player's rating based on how hard the opposing team was. Skilled teams defeating less skilled teams will result in very few points whereas an relatively low- rated team defeating a good team will result in more points. Player rating also takes into account the number of players on each team (less points when a very large defeats a small one) and which side tends to win more often on the current map (e.g. Allies tend to win tc_base).

g_unevenTeamDiff

Description

If g_teamForceBalance is set, setting g_unevenTeamDiff will notify all players when team numbers are off by g_unevenTeamDiff or more. See also g_unevenTeamFreq

Set to 0 to disable this feature

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 0

g_unevenTeamFreq

Description

>How often the team disparity notification occurs. Only valid when g_unevenTeamDiff is set to a positive value. Value is in seconds.

Team and Match Restrictions

team_maxPanzers

team_maxMortars

team_maxFlamers

team_maxMG42s

team_maxGrenLaunchers

Description

Server cvars team_maxPanzers, team_maxMortars, team_maxFlamers, team_maxMG42s, team_maxGrenLaunchers have identical behaviour.

Limits the number of the given weapon per team.

You can either set it to a whole number to set a hard limit, or you can set it to a percentage value using the % symbol to limit based on the number of players on the team. When using percentage values, any partial values are rounded up

You can also use a number such as "20%-" for this setting, in which case partial values will be rounded down

Only use integer values like 1 or 2 and NOT 1.0 or 2.5. If you refuse to do this and use a . in your cvar, the client will not display the restriction in the right way and people might not be able to use heavy weapons while they actually are available!

Example:set team_maxFlamers "2" This will limit each team to 2 flamethrowers, regardless of how many players are on the team

Example:set team_maxFlamers "10%"This will limit each team to having only 10% of their players as flamethrowers, and a team with few players (for example, 5) will be able to have 1 flamethrower. They will be able to have their second flamethrower when they have 11 players on the team.

Example:set team_maxFlamers "10%-"This will limit each team to having only 10% of their players as flamethrowers, and a team will not be able to have any flamethrowers until there are 10 players in the team. They will be able to have their second flamethrower when there are 20 players on the team.

Set this to -1 to disable limits

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: -1

team_maxMedics

team_maxEngineers

team_maxFieldOps

team_maxCovertOps

Description

Restricts the number of players that can play a specific class / team. You can either set it to a whole number to set a hard limit, or you can set it to a percentage value using the % symbol to limit based on the number of players on the team. When using percentage values, any partial values are rounded up

You can use a number such as "20%-" for this setting, in which case partial values will be rounded down

Example:set team_maxMedics "5" This will limit each team to 5 medics, regardless of how many players are on the team

Example:set team_maxMedics "15%"This will limit each team to having only 15% of their players as medics, and a team with few players (for example, 3) will be able to have 1 medic. They will be able to have their second medic when they have 7 players on the team.

Example:set team_maxMedics "15%-"This will limit each team to having only 15% of their players as medics, and a team will not be able to have medics until there are 7 players in the team. They will be able to have their second medic when there are 14 players on the team.

Set this to -1 to disable limits

Parameters

Type: string

Default: -1

g_teamDamageRestriction

Description

When greater than 0, anybody that has this percentage of hits inflicted on a teammate will automatically be kicked. A minimum of g_minhits hits total required before this is calculated.

Description

This is the target score the teams attempt to make to win the game in TDM game types 2 and 3.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 100

g_TDMObjBonus

Description

This is the value that is added to the team score if the team completes the map objective. Adding the bonus does not depend of the TDM type.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 20

Custom Configs

g_mapConfigs

Description

On each map load, the silEnT server will execute 2 configs if possible. The default.cfg and after that a map specifig config file [mapname].cfg. For example if you set g_mapConfigs to 'mapcfg', when the map fueldump starts, the server will try to exec 'mapcfg/fueldump.cfg'.

Set this to "" to disable it.

Set this to "." to look for the cfg file in the current directory (fs_home_path).

When in g_gametype 6 mode (Map Voting) and g_resetXPMapCount is set, an additional file named vote_X.cfg is also exec'ed. X indicates the position of the next map in the campaign. For example, vote_2.cfg will exec'ed such that when map 1 ends, any cvars in vote_2.cfg will affect map voting for map 2.

Parameters

Type: string

Default: ""

g_mapScriptDirectory

Description

Similar to ETPro's b_mapscriptsdirectory. Set it to the name of a directory in your fs_path that contains custom map scripts.

For example you can copy the 'etpromapscripts' directory from the ETPro distribution to your 'silent' directory and add:

set g_mapScriptDirectory "etpromapscripts"

to your cfg.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use the map scripts distributed with silEnT or ETPub since these updated scripts fix very important bugs in some of the original map scripts.

Setting g_mapScriptDirectory to "" disables any use of map .script files.

Parameters

Type: string

Default: ""

g_campaignFile

Description

Similar to ETPro's b_campaignFile. If you set this to the name of a file in your fs_path it will be interpreted as a .campaign script and all other .campaign scripts in your pk3 files will be ignored.

This is useful for making custom campaigns since you don't need to offer a pk3 file containing a custom .campaign script for all clients to download. However, if the client has not downloaded this .campaign file in a pk3, they will not see information about the campaign. Such information includes:

- will not display in the VOTE -> MAP list
- map locations will not draw on the map of Europe.
- campaign description will not draw in the right panel
- total number of maps and current maps order in the campaign will not be shown in the intermission screens.

Also, even though the built-in campaigns cmpgn_centraleurope and cmpgn_northafrica will not be valid, they will still appear in the client's VOTE -> MAP menu. If a vote for one of them passes, nothing will happen.

Setting this to "" disables it.

Parameters

Type: string

Default: ""

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 60

g_skipCorrection

Description

Set this to 1 to enable Neil Toronto's unlagged2 skip correction. This will smooth out the movement of players with high packet loss (to a degree). This is similar to etpro's antiwarp, but has some differences. Neil likes this version better, bani likes his better.

This replaces g_smoothClients from etmain.

You can find a demo that shows g_skipCorrection in action at: http://et.tjw.org/etpub/skipCorrection/

Parameters

Type: [0|1]

Default: 1

g_maxWarp

Description

This allows you to control the amount of "warping" that players with high packet loss can do. The [integer] is the number of server frames that you allow a player to miss before their next movement is put in check.

A server frame is 50ms on a typical server (sv_fps set to 20). This means that if you set g_maxWarp to 5 you won't allow players to warp from point A to point B if that distance takes an normal player 1/4 of a second to travel. Setting this to 1 is a good way to drive off just about everyone from your server.

As far as I can tell, 1000ms is allowed by default in the game, so setting this to any value higher than 39 should have no effect if sv_fps is set to 10.

You can find a demo that shows g_maxWarp in action at: http://et.tjw.org/etpub/skipCorrection/

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 4

g_moverScale

Description

Multiply the speed of movers (e.g. tanks) by float.

Parameters

Type: float

Default: 1.0

g_slashKill

Description

Controls the behavior of the /kill command.

g_maxSelfkills

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: -1

g_ammoCabinetTime

Description

The time between ammo cabinet regenerations in milliseconds.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 60000

g_healthCabinetTime

Description

The time between health cabinet regenerations in milliseconds.

Parameters

Type: integer

g_spectator

Description

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Default: 0

g_truePing

Description

Allows players to see the true amount of time it takes until their actions are processed on the server. Pings will show around 50 ms higher than normal, but it's more accurate. Shows in the scoreboard.

Parameters

Type: [0|1]

Default: 0

g_dropObj

Description

Sets the number of times a player can drop/toss the objective (e.g. parts on radar) per life.

The parts are dropped by pressing the +activate key (usually bound to F) when there's nothing else around to be activated.

Before enabling this recall how spammy the voiceovers can be. Then picture a player tossing the parts to himself over and over again. For this reason you probably don't want to set this very high.

Players must switch to knife in order to drop the objective. If they are not holding knife and hit +activate they will see a message that notifies them that they must switch to knife. This change was made to prevent accidental dropping of the objective when trying to push, drag, pick up, or activate something else.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 0

g_doubleJumpHeight

Description

Adjusts the height of the second jump in a double jump. This value is a multiplier to the default jump velocity. The greater g_doubleJumpHeight is, the greater the height of the second jump. This setting has no effect if double jump is disabled in g_misc.

Parameters

Type: float

Default: 1.4

g_serverInfo

Description

Use this cvar to change the behaviour of the 'serverinfo' string. This string is printed in response to the 'getstatus' primative command used by game browsers.

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Default: 1

Note

This cvar MUST be set prior to loading the first map. You will not be able to change this cvar once the game code is loaded.

The serverInfo string has a fixed length of 1024 characters. This space is shared with any cvar you create on your server with the 'sets' command. If you use up too much space with 'sets', your server will fail to start. It will print the message "Info string length exceeded" if you don't have enough space left in your serverinfo string to handle the g_serverInfo flags you've selected. To fix this, either remove some sets cvars from your config, or use different g_serverInfo flags.

g_fear

Description

If a player uses the /kill command within g_fear milliseconds after taking damage from an enemy, the attacker that last damaged that player will recieve full credit for the kill and the mode of death will be recorded as MOD_FEAR. Other restrictions are that the attacker must be on the opposite team and the attacker must still be alive.

g_fear applies also to players that try to switch teams within g_fear milliseconds. The player will remain in the same team and the usual g_fear behavior applies.

In-game statistics will reflect that the death was caused by the weapon that did the last recorded damage to the player.

Set this to 0 to disable this behaviour.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 2000

g_realHead

Description

It is also possible to do small amounts of damage (5HP) to other players by hopping up and down on them.

Falling damage can be either 500, 50, 25, 15, or 10 depending on the length of the fall. So if you set g_goomba to 5 and land on a player from a fall that would have damaged you 10HP, you will inflict 50HP of damage on the player you land on, and you will only recieve 2HP of damage.

g_goombaFlags

Description

This is a bitflag cvar that controls the way g_goomba is handled.

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Default: 0

Note

Set this to 31 to have g_goomba work like shrubet.

g_spawnInvul

Description

The number of seconds players will be invincible after they spawn.

Parameters

Type: integer

Default: 3

g_spawnInvulFair

Description

Removes the spawn protection when the player fires his first shot (note : the spawn protection will still be removed after the g_spawnInvul time)

Parameters

Type: [0|1]

Default: 1

g_spinCorpse

Description

Allow players to use +left and +right binds to spin their corpse when dead or playing dead.

Parameters

Type: [0|1]

Default: 0

g_teamChangeKills

Description

If set to 0, players are allowed one non-killing team change per respawn cycle. If a player changes teams, he will be instantly spawned in the other teams default spawn point. Players will die (but not lose a life) if they change teams a second time in one spawn cycle.

Parameters

Type: [0|1]

Default: 1

g_extraStatistics

Description

Additional statistics displayed at the end of the map.

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Default: 0

Logs

g_logOptions

Parameters

Type: bitmask

Default: 0

g_logAdmin

Description

The name of the file that all shrubbot commands will be logged to. For example,

g_logAdmin "admin.log"

Type: string

Default: ""

g_cheatLog

Description

The name of the file that will log prints that do not fall under the normal game server loggings. These include Admin Level Loggings, referee hack attempts, spoofings and any other similar information. To enable/disable most loggings, the cvar for the feature that uses the cheat log, will also have control of the log. Some loginformation can be printed without specifically enabling it. If the g_cheatLog is not enabled, the normal g_log is used instead. However, using the g_cheatLog will make it easier to handle non gaming related information. For example,

g_cheatLog "cheat.log"

Parameters

Type: string

Default: ""

Parameters

Type: string

Default: ""

Map Voting

This gametype allows for the players to decide on the map that is played next. When g_gametype is set to 6 a new screen is introduced during intermission. This screen list, depending on server configuration, a list of up to 32 maps that are loaded on the server, and that all players can vote on. Once intermission ends, the server totals the votes, and plays the next map based upon the vote results

The following cvars control how map voting operates

Miscellaneous notes about mapvoting:

- Total maps allowed is 32. If server admin has more than 32 .bsp files, only the first 32 are used
- Tie breaker. The default tie-breaker is such that if 2 or more maps are tied with the same number of votes, the map that was played most recently is selected.
- Bots and connecting players do NOT count for mapvoting, everyone else (including spectators) does.
- If no maps are voted for, the default "nextmap" cvar is used, so server admins have to specify a default map cycle of sort, usually in the following format.
- set d1 "set g_gametype 6 ; map oasis ; set nextmap vstr d2"
- set d2 "set g_gametype 6 ; map battery ; set nextmap vstr d3"
- set d3 "set g_gametype 6 ; map goldrush ; set nextmap vstr d1"
- vstr d1
- This means that the default map, upon server start, will be oasis. From there, map voting will be used. If at any point, no map is voted for, battery will be played, etc

Statistics / Rankings Terms

There are several settings in silEnT that attempt to determine how "good" a player is in terms (hopefully) more meaningful than just XP or XP per unit of time. Here are the terms used and their definitions:

Kill Rating

How good of a killer the player is, based on how many other players the player kills, and their kill rating. In other words, killing players with a high kill rating increases the shooter's kill rating more than killing players with a low kill rating.

Player Rating

This is a measure of how much the player contributes to winning a map. This measure is calculated by seeing how many times this player is on the winning team after every map, and how good the opposing team was. Like kill rating, winning against teams with a high average player rating results in player rating increasing faster.

Win Probability

The probability that a team will win a map (based on the players' player rating, team size, and the map).

These statistics are gathered by silEnT and the data is saved to local files on disk.

This feature is originally from ETPub and no alterations have been made to it by silEnT team.

The etpub development team member responsible for implementing these player rankings and ratings is Josh Menke. He has been kind enough to begin working on an academic write-up to explain the mathematics and statistics methods behind these rankings. Due to time constraints the document is being gradually updated and expanded. The latest version can be seen at: http://axon.cs.byu.edu/~josh/etstats/update_bayes.pdf

Server Console Commands

The following server console commands (for use in the server console or through rcon) commands have been added in etpub:

bot [arguments]

Omni-bot command. See the omni-bot 0.52 documentation for full details.

chat [message]

Display a message to all users in the chat area

chatclient [slot#|name] [message]

Display a message to a specific user in the chat area. A partial name match can be used, and in this case the message will be sent to all users that match the partial name

clearxp

Clears the XP of all users

bp [message]

Display a message to all users in the top of the screen (Requires etpub client >= 20051230)

cp [message]

Display a message to all users in the center of the screen

cpmsay [message]

Display a message to all users in the popup message area of the screen

forcecvar [cvar] [value]

Forces a client cvar to have a certain value for all clients

krinfo

List KillRating info by team, sorted.

m [slot#|name] [message]

Send a private message to a player. A partial name match can be used, and in this case the private message will be sent to all users that match the partial name

playsound [slot#|name] [filename]

Plays the specified sound file. The slot number/player name parameter is optional. If the slot number or playername is specified, only that player hears the sound, otherwise all players hear the sound. g_tyranny must be enabled in order to play a sound to a specific player.

playsound_env [slot#|name] [filename]

Plays the specified sound file, but the sound can be heard by everyone near the specified player. In contrast to playsound, both parameters are required for playsound_env. If playsound_env is used with one parameter (only the the filename is specified), then it is treated exactly as playsound [filename]. The further away nearby players are, the less they hear the sound. g_tyranny must be enabled in order to use this command.

prinfo

List PlayerRating info by team, sorted.

prreseteverything

Completely reset the PlayerRating system

prresetplayers

Reset only the player ratings part of the PlayerRating system

prresetplayers

Resets the total kills and deaths made by SMG weapons from all the players in the database.

readsettings

Reloads the g_settings file. This is done by the server automatically, but if you decide to change the banners or sprees/multikills ingame, you can load the new settings with this command.

readxp

(Requires that g_tyranny be enabled) Loads the XPSave file from disk. There is no reason to call this function, etpub loads the XPSave file automatically as needed.

winprob

Prints information about the win probability model

writexp

Commits the in-memory XPSave info to disk. Normally, silEnT does this automatically every time a map ends or the server is shut down.

clearspreerecords

Clears all the spreerecords stored in XPSave file (doesn't work during warmup or intermission)

lua_status

Shows information about the scripts currently loaded by the Lua API engine.

makeshoutcaster [slot#|name]

makeshoutcast [slot#|name]

makesc [slot#|name]

Promotes the player to be a shoutcaster. Shoutcasters can see floating player names, dynamite counter, truck and tank health and all mines.

removeshoutcaster [slot#|name]

removeshoutcast [slot#|name]

removesc [slot#|name]

Removes players shoutcaster status.

dboptimize

When this command is issued, the server database is optimized during the next user database closing. This command is resource intensive and should not be used often. The target of usefullness is player databases that are very large and have lot of players who have not played on the server for a long time. Do note that it is more effective to keep the player amount in the database smaller then using this command. So be sure to check the g_dbUserMaxAge setting.

silent_version

Shows information about the running silEnT server version.

Additionally, all of the shrubbot commands can be used on the server console as well, the leading "!" is optional.

Shrubbot

Shrubbot is an invention of Ryan Mannion. ETPub tries to clone shrubbot as accurately as possible, both in user interface and in the shrubbot configuration file called "shrubbot.cfg". This is silEnT shrubbot based on the work of ETPub team. silEnT extends the functionality of the shrubbot where ever it is needed. Including user database that holds all the players that have visited the server. To access this database, new commands have been added to the original shrubbot command set. Some commands have been renamed to ease their use and so that they resemble commands from other ET mods that have advanced admin systems.

If you want to use shrubbot, the cvar g_dbDirectory must be set. If it is not set, the shrubbot will not be in use. If you want to edit the default levels, you must create or copy existing shrubbot.cfg file to the folder defined by g_dbDirectory setting. In case shrubbot command like !ban is used against a player and shrubbot.cfg file does not already exist, a new shrubbot.cfg file is created to store the needed data.

The created file will also have the default level settings written to it. This file can be freely edited by hand and then after !readconfig command has been issued, the changes take effect on the server.

Below are the shrubbot commands that silEnT currently supports and the corresponding flag to be used in the shrubbot config file to give permission to the command:

The following flags are also supported:

The * operator is supported in the flags field:

Example

This means all all available flags are granted (except ! and @). Any flags that come after the * are negated. So for example:

[level] level = 5 name = flags = *xU greeting = greeting_sound =

would give level 5 admins all commands except !lol and !burn.

Shrubbot is divided into to parts. Users are stored in the user database and other configuration infos and bans are stored in a separate human readable config file.

The configuration file itself is layed out in blocks serpated by blank lines. The types of blocks supported are [level], [command] and [ban]. If you ever need to edit the shrubbot.cfg file by hand, you need to run the !readconfig command (or restart etded) to load it.

When setting up a new shrubbot.cfg file, simply set the g_shrubbot cvar to the name you want to use for the configuration file, then connect to the server with your et, and run the following command in the server console:

!setlevel ETPlayer 5

(where ETPlayer is your name). This will create the shrubbot.cfg file with default levels and your guid set to level 5 admin (the highest default level). You can then edit the level definitions in this file to match your preferences and run the !readconfig command to load them up.

The new element [command] in the shrubbot file format. This allows server admins to create their own shrubbot commands for executing server commands. however, you can only give privileges to commands through levels. It is not possible to explicitly give some user a privilege to a custom command. Here are some examples:

[command] command = hello exec = cp "hello world" desc = Center Print the text "hello world" to all connected clients levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5 [command] command = panzeroff exec = set team_maxPanzers 0 desc = Turn off panzers levels = 5 [command] command = havefun exec = exec fun.cfg desc = Load up some crazy settings/commands levels = 5 [command] command = unlimitedpanzers exec = cp "^1Unlimited panzers!"; set team_maxPanzers -1 desc = Everyone can have a panzerfaust! levels = 5

This would create 4 new commands, !hello, !panzeroff, !havefun, and !unlimitedpanzers. !hello can be run by any user with an admin level 0 through 5. !panzeroff, !havefun, and !unlimitedpanzers would be executable by only level 5 users. You must name each level in the space seperated level string (a higher level does not grant authority). As shown in !unlimitedpanzers, you can separate commands with a semicolon (;).

[command] elements can use shortcut characters as described in Shortcuts. You can use a new shortcut [i] to replace it with the player ID of the calling player.

Here are some samples:

[command] command = spec exec = !putteam [n] s desc = Become a spectator levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5 [command] command = pizza exec = cp "[n] ^7orders a big pizza for everyone except [d]^7!" desc = Some message levels = 3 4 5 [command] command = ms exec = makeshoutcaster [i] desc = Makes you a shoutcaster levels = 5

[command] elements can use up to 9 parameter placeholders (from [1] to [9]) in the commands. For example, given the following definition:

[command] command = mynameis exec = cp "[n]'s ^7real-life name is [1]^7!" desc = Print real name levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5

When a user types the command like this:

!mynameis bartholomew

Will print out something like:

[JJJJ]zuxx0r's real-life name is bartholomew

Since silEnT 0.2.1 it is possible to add '?' to the parameter placeholders. This will try to match the pattern to a player name on the server. For example, given the following definition:

[command] command = crybaby exec = chat "[1?]^7 is crying like little baby!" desc = Make someone cry levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5

When user types the command like this:

!crybaby gao

Will print out something like:

gaoesa is crying like a little baby!

If the player name match fails a response is returned to the user stating either that there were too many matches or that no player matched.

Parameters that the user does not type in are left blank in your command. You can use the parameters in any order (so the user types the parameters in a different order than they are used).

These commands will show up like any other shrubbot command in the output of !help and the !help command will also provide detailed info for the command using the 'desc' paramter (e.g. '!help hello')

You can also add a greeting to users specifically and/or [level] blocks. This greeting will be displayed when a shrubbot admin connects to the server. Adding a greeting to a [level] block will show that greeting for every admin with that level, while adding a greeting to any user specifically will only show the greeting when that particular admin connects. When both [level] block and user data contain a greeting, the user specific greeting is used. When you type [n] in a greeting, it will be replaced by the name of the connecting admin. Example:

[level] level = 5 name = Admin flags = * greeting = Level 5 admin [n] is on the floor greeting_sound =

If TJW is the connecting admin, all players will see: "Level 5 admin TJW is on the floor".

These are the limits on the shrubbot file:

User Database

User database is intended to store information of all the players that connect to the server. To enable user database g_dbDirectory must be set. The database stores information to identify different players and also XP data, rating data, overall stats data and shrubbot admin data. silEnT GUIDs are used to identify single players.

Shrubbot includes functionality to server admins to handle database userdata. These commands are !userlist, !userinfo, !useredit, !givexp, !userban, !userdelete, !usersearch, !readadmins and !resetpls. All commands that handle users in the database will take the last 8 characters of the player silEnT GUID to identify the player to edit. This is not unique identification but should provide enough uniqueness to prevent collisions. Internally, the complete GUID is used to identify the players.

!userlist

Lists all users in the database. If PAGE is given, the list starts from that page. If PAGE is not given the first page of the database is printed. The command prints all users, including clients that have connected during the level time and are not yet in the database. The connected clients are always printed first and then the rest of the userbase.

The printed rows have the following columns:

With userlist command an admin can list all the users saved in the database and those that are connected page by page. Optional page number can be given to the command to tell which page is to be displayed about the users. One page can have up to 20 players printed.

!userinfo

Displays all information that is stored about the user in the database.

This information includes:

- identity information (name, IP, silEnT ID, 8 character PunkBuster GUID, Client Identification validity)
- admin level
- personal greeting
- personal greeting sound
- personal shrubbot flags
- when seen latest on the server
- when saved XP on the server, if the g_XPSaveMinXP is not set, this will be the same as the Last Seen.
- saved XP per skill
- rating values
- total kills and deaths with SMG weapons

Command requires the last 8 characters of the player PB GUID. This GUID can be found with !userlist or !usersearch commands. This command works for both online and offline players.

!useredit

Command is used to edit explicit userdata in the database. The command format is:

!useredit [silEnT ID] [add|remove|level|greeting|sound] [new value]

The command parameters in detail:

If the optional new value field is not set with greeting or sound parameter, the value will be set to empty and level values will be used again with these players.

This command works with online and offline players.

!givexp

Command gives the online or offline player identified by silEnT ID a defined amount of XP points to the selected skill.

The possible skills are:

!userban

Command bans user indentified by the 8 character silEnT GUID from the server. The data required for ban is taken from the database and the banned user does not need to be online when the command is given. Bot's cannot be banned with this command. Note that the bans are written in the human readable config file and you can still write the bans by hand if desired. Also, removing of the bans can be done by hand if desired.

The command syntax is

!userban [silEnT ID] [time] [reason]

where [time] is the ban time in seconds and [reason] is the stored reason for the ban. Time modifiers can be used with this command.

!userwl

With this command admin can whitelist or remove whitelisting from any player. Whitelisting means that the player IP is not checked against any IP bans. Including subnet bans and individual bans.

!userdelete

Command removes the user identified by the 8 character PB GUID from the database. The actual actions are taken at the level end if needed. However, once the !userdelete command has been issued to the user, the information of the user is no longer available and after the shutdown game, it is permanently lost.

If the removed player is connected to the server while removing, a new entry is written to that player.

!usersearch

With this command an admin can search the database for players with specific parameters. Arguments to the command can be pattern in the name, user admin system level and the beginning of the IP address. Additional page number can be given when the amount of found results exceed what can be shown in one page. All the arguments can be given in one command in any order. Any one of the arguments can be omitted, but each time when command is given at least one argument on top of the optional page number must be given. This command searches stored information only from the database. Connected players are not included unless they already have been stored into the database.

This command is performance intensive and it is not recommended to use it on high utilisation server unless it is needed for maintenance operations. The command will internally always try to optimise itself. If the command is given repeatedly with same arguments but only changin the page number, new searches are not performed but only different pages of the already found results are displayed. The optimisations include that silEnT will try to use the already found results as a basis for the new search (e.g. "!usersearch name gao" followed by "!usersearch name gaoe" will first search the whole db to find all users with the pattern gao in their names and the follow up search will refine the already found results for gaoe). The maximum amount of results one search can return is 256 users. Users are displayed in the console in pages with 20 users on each page.

!readadmins

With this command an admin can read admin definitions from a specific admins.cfg file. The file must be placed in the directory pointed by g_dbDirectory server cvar. The file may have only admin definition blocks.

Admin definitions use always the following syntax. The syntax is exactly the same used by the ETPub.

[admin] name = name of the admin (can be left empty) guid = full 32 character PB GUID (this field is used to identify players in the database) sguid = full 32 character silEnT GUID (this field is used to identify players in the database) level = level number flags = personal admin flags (can be left empty) greeting = personal greeting (can be left empty) greeting_sound = path to personal greeting sound (can be left empty)

If the database doesn't yet have the player, it will be added there. Those players will have the last seen field reading NEVER with !userlist and !usersearch command outputs. If the player already exists in the database, the admin values will be overwritten with the ones in read from the admins.cfg file. The admin block can be inserted to the database by either silEnT GUID or by PB GUID. Which ever is available, but one of those must be set.

!resetpls

With this command an admin can reset all stored statistics from an online or an offline player. The stored statistics include total SMG kills and deaths, the player K/D rating and PRW rating.

Banners

The banners file is a file that contains all the information about banners. See g_banners to see how you can enable this file.

The banners file consists of [banner] blocks (similar to shrubbot). A [banner] block adds a banner to the server banner queue.

A [banner] block has the following fields:

[banner] message = ^1Check out our banner! wait = 30 position = bp

The "message" is the actual message that is displayed to all the players on the server. The "wait" field determines when the next banner will be displayed. Setting this to 30 means the next banner will show up 30 seconds after this banner. Setting the wait to 0 means the next banner will be displayed at the same moment as this one. This in combination with the "position" field that determines the position of the banner, allows the same text to be displayed at one time at multiple positions. "position" can have the values chat, cpm (popup), cp (center), bp (banner) or print (console).

The maximum amount of banners is 31 and the maximum length of individual banner is 255 characters.

Shortcuts

Server supports the replacement of the following keys in say messages

Forcing Client Settings

silEnT server is able to force client cvars to certain values or ranges by using forcecvar and sv_cvar commands. sv_cvarempty will clear all the sv_cvar commands the server has loaded.

To use the possibility, the g_mapConfigs must be set. All forcecvar and sv_cvar commands that are placed in the default.cfg, will be executed on every map start. Those settings can be overloaded by using a map specific cfg name [mapname].cfg. More help is available at silEnT forums.

Announcement Sounds

When announcements are enbaled on the server, the server admins may choose to install their own announcement sounds to replace the mod default ones or add missing sounds. Any of the following sounds can be installed by the admins:

Killing Spree

sound/announces/spree5.wav

Rampage

sound/announces/spree10.wav

Dominating

sound/announces/spree15.wav

Unstoppable

sound/announces/spree20.wav

Godlike

sound/announces/spree25.wav

Wicked Sick

sound/announces/spree30.wav

Revive Spree 3

sound/announces/revive3.wav

Revive Spree 5

sound/announces/revive5.wav

Revive Spree 10

sound/announces/revive10.wav

Double Kill

sound/announces/doublekill.wav

Triple Kill

sound/announces/triplekill.wav

Multi Kill

sound/announces/multikill.wav

Ultra Kill

sound/announces/ultrakill.wav

Monster Kill

sound/announces/monsterkill.wav

First Blood

sound/silent/firstblood.wav

To replace any of the sounds, create a pk3 file with the mentioned path and sound file name. The replaced sound will be automatically played. The pk3 files are regular zips with only the zip ending changed with pk3.

Change Log

Version 0.5.0
- Added: dboptimize server console command. Read the manual for more information.Do note that this command is server resource intensive and should not be used often.
- Added: support for revive spree sounds. Admins can add custom sound files revive3.wav, revive5.wav and revive10.wav under the sound/announces if they like.
- Added: g_XPSaveMinXP, when this value is set to above 0 or above, the XP save system will use different timestamp for the XP save then the rest of the database. This allows cvars like g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp to work correctly.
- Added: referee hack attempts are logged
- Added: Admin Level Protection (ALP), with this mechanism, the server can ensure that admins on protected levels are properly authenticated
- Added: silEnT GUID, the new silEnT GUIDs replace the PB GUIDs in everywhere, but compatibility is provided for the old PB GUIDs also
- Added: g_cheatLog, server will log all non gaming related information into this log if enabled
- Added: debriefing, mouse wheel scrolling of the lists when the cursor is over the list, not only over the scroll bar
- Added: omnibot support for tripmines (tripmines can be planted by bots)
- Fixed: vote blocking will not block referee commands
- Fixed: missing original mouse cursor in the menus for Windows builds
