Description
Decide which landmine reveal notifications server should send.
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
g_defaultHitSounds
g_defaultHitSounds
Description
Selects the default hit sounds on the server. Starting from silEnT 0.6.0, it is possible for the players to choose what kind of hit sounds are played. If the client cvar cg_hitSoundType is 0, the g_defaultHitSounds determines what type of hit sounds are used. Also, if the client cvar cg_hitSoundType is 0, the server may also add custom hit sound files to a custom pk3 file. These sounds are automatically loaded if available. However, if the client cvar cg_hitSoundType is 1,2 or 3, the client will use strictly the hit sounds they have selected. Custom hit sounds are placed to the root folder "sounds/hitsounds" in the custom pk3. They must never overload any of the files in the subfolders, silent, etpro or etpub.
Parameters
Type: [0|1|2|3]
Default: 1
g_recognition
g_recognition
Description
Enables additional recognition notifications for players doing objective, e.g. for planting dynamite, disarming it, destroying objective.

User Database, XP Save, Shrubbot and Bans
User Database, XP Save, Shrubbot and Bans
g_dbDirectory
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
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

g_XPSaveMaxAge
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

Parameters
Type: integer
Default: 1w
g_XPSaveMinXP
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_maxXPResetWarn
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.

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."

List of recognized binaries
Official client binaries
Binary edited executables from etmaster.net
Equivalent to etmaster.net binary edited executables from BigBear
ETPatchSelector binaries
Official ET:Legacy b4
Official ET:Legacy b5
Parameters
Type: bitmask
1
2
4
Don't allow players with unknown client executables.
Log unknown executables to the g_cheatLog. Note, if the server does not allow unknown client binaries the log message will be different for message.
Report unknown executables to admin chat. Note, if the server does not allow unknown client binaries the players will not be reported to admin chat.
Default: 0
g_identOptions
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 writing /cg_ident to the console. The result is a hexadecimal string that changes its value between maps. The format and data used to create the client identification may change between different versions of the silEnT mod. The server can be configured with the g_identOptions server cvar.
Parameters
Type: bitmask
Default: 0
g_adminProtection
g_adminProtection
Description
Starting from silEnT 0.5.0, admin levels can be protected against spoofing. The protection works by establishing trust between the client and the server. The trust must be confirmed by an online human admin for the new trusted admins to gain access to their assigned level. Specific command !confirm is 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 be safely allowed to use the !confirm command. The !setlevel command will automatically establish the trust if the admin level protection is enabled and the level is above or equal to the g_protectMinLevel. The admin protection is designed so that only the important admin levels are protected. This means that the levels above the g_protectMinLevel require 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 avoid server load with these admins.
Parameters
Type: bitmask
1
2
4
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
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
g_dbMaxAliases
g_dbMaxAliases
Description
Starting from silEnT 0.6.0, the silEnT mod can store player aliases in an additional database. To enable this database, set this value to higher then 0. If this value is a positive integer, it defines how many aliases are stored in the database for one player. If the player has more aliases then this value, the oldest aliases are dropped.
Parameters
Type: integer
Default: 0
g_muteRename
g_muteRename
Description
If this cvar is set to 1 the muted player won't be allowed to change his name while he is muted.

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

Parameters
Type: integer
Default: 1000
g_voiceChatsAllowed

g_killRating
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).
See also g_shuffle_rating.
Parameters
Type: bitmask
Default: 3
g_playerRating
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).
See also g_shuffle_rating.
Parameters
Type: bitmask
Default: 3

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.

Custom Configs
Custom Configs
g_mapConfigs
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).
Starting from silEnT version 0.5.2, admins can add settings that executed for specific player amounts. The commands are enclosed in [players low-high] ... [/players] blocks. The low is the lowest amount of players for those settings and high is the maximum amount of players for those settings. For example:
[players 0-10] set team_maxPanzers 0 [/players]
will disable panzerfaust when player amount is less or equal to 10. The blocks can be placed anywhere in the map config files. If the block is closed with [/players], the following commands do not depend on the player amounts. The player blocks can not be nested. If two player blocks follow each other, the second definition opens a new one and the old one closes. For example:
[players 0-15] set g_excludedMaps ":mlb_temple:" [players 16-*] set g_excludedMaps ":adlernest:" [/players]
will esclude map mlb_temple if the player amount is less or equal to 15 and exclude map adlernest if the player amount is 16 or more. The player amount counting is controlled with g_playerCounting server cvar.
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. Player blocks are not used with vote_X.cfg files.
Parameters
Type: string
Default: ""
g_mapScriptDirectory
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
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: ""
g_banners
g_banners
Description
This should be set to the name of your banners.cfg file if you want to enable banners. See banners documentation for more information about this file.
Example:
set g_banners "banners.cfg"
Parameters
Type: string
Default: ""
g_playerCounting
g_playerCounting
Description
This cvar controls how the player amount is calculated for the mapconfigs. The player amount value is the highest number of simultaneously fully connected players during the map or warmup. The player counting can be disabled from the warmup period. If the player counting is enabled during the warmup, the players are counted right at the end of the warmup. This allows the teams to stabilize after intermission. Similarly the counting is triggered always with a 3 second delay from the change in the teams. Team changes include players joining the server and staying in the spectators.

skill_fieldops
skill_fieldops
skill_covertops
skill_covertops
skill_battlesense
skill_battlesense
skill_lightweapons
skill_lightweapons
Description
All skill_* variables are identical.
These variables allow customization of the experience points necessary to go up in ranks. These settings consist of four space-separated integers indicating the number of XP required to go up a rank. A string such as "3 10 10 10" indicates that 3 points are required to go up the first rank, and the next three ranks are granted when the players has 10 points. If, for example, you want to grant akimbo pistols upon the first kill, you would set skill_lightweapons to "3 3 3 3". The default for each of these variables is "20 50 90 140". You can also grant levels upon connection byt using a value like "0 0 20 100". This would mean that the first two ranks would be granted upon connection, and the third and fourth ranks would be granted at 20 and 100 points, respectively.
Starting from silEnT 0.6.0, these cvars also allow disabling skills. Also, 0 value will always enable skill regardless of the order. For example, a string "0 -1 0 -1" always enables the skill from the first and the third level and completely disables the skills on the second and the fourth level. The only limitation is, that the values other then 0 and -1 must be ordered from the smaller to the higher. For example "0 20 -1 50" always enables the first skill, second skill takes 20 points to unlock, third skill is always disabled and the fourth skill requires 50 points to unlock. Furthermore, the g_noSkillUpgrades now locks skills to any always enabled levels. Meaning skills that are set to require 0 points to unlock.
Parameters
Type: string
Default: "20 50 90 140"
g_noSkillUpgrades
g_noSkillUpgrades
Description
When set to 1, disables player skill upgrades. Sarting from silEnT version 0.6.0, it will lock the skills to the always enabled levels. See the skill_x cvars. Also, it is possible to hide the skill levels from the player HUDs setting this cvar to value 2.

Such area is then visible on the command map as the red circle zone. Additionally, when the Command Post is built, players are notified by sound and visual signs about entering the danger zone. Players can customize the way they are notified via the HUD editor and the silEnT customize HUD menu.
To mark the danger zone Covert Ops needs to look through his binoculars and press the left mouse button (attack button). The same way Field Ops calls for an airstrike.
To disable the feature set the g_maxMarkers to 0.

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.
Parameters
Type: [0|1]
Default: 1
g_maxWarp
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.
Parameters
Type: integer
Default: 4
g_moverScale
g_moverScale
Description
Multiply the speed of movers (e.g. tanks) by float.
Parameters
Type: float
Default: 1.0
g_slashKill
g_slashKill
Description
Controls the behavior of the /kill command.
See also g_fear and g_maxSelfkills
Parameters
Type: bitmask
Default: 0
g_maxSelfkills
g_maxSelfkills
Description
Amount of times a player can use /kill per map.
Setting this to -1 will result in normal behaviour (infinite selfkills).
Setting this to 0 will disable /kill.
Parameters
Type: integer
Default: -1
g_ammoCabinetTime
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
Default: 10000
g_spectator
g_spectator
Description

Parameters
Type: bitmask
Default: 0
g_truePing
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
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
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
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
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_realBody
g_realBody
Description
If server admin sets this, the player hitboxes are adjusted smaller and harder to hit. With value 0, the hitboxes used up to 0.5.0 are used.
Parameters
Type: [0|1]
Default: 0

Also the impact for the falling player will be broken so that they only recieve 20% of the damage they would have normally. 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.

Map Voting
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
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
If you cannot find the document at the above location, please visit http://etpub.org
Server Console Commands
Server Console Commands
The following server console commands (for use in the server console or through rcon) commands have been added in the silEnT:
bot [arguments]
Passes commands to the Omni-bot library. See the omni-bot 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.
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.
prresetstats
Resets the total kills and deaths made by SMG weapons from all the players in the database.
readsettings
Reloads the g_banners file. This is done by the server automatically, but if you decide to change the banners 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, silEnT loads the saved XP 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 map statistics 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.
dbcleanup
When this command is issued, the server database is cleaned during the next intermission and saved when the database closes next time. Usually during map change. This clean up checks that all the records can be searched and these records have properly formed GUIDs. All duplicated records are deleted from the main database so that the last used record is left. All player alias records, if aliases database is enabled, are checked that they have an associated record in the main database. Alias records without associated records in the main database are deleted. This command is resource intensive and for that reason it is executed during intermission. The command can be issued at any time during the map.
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
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, set the location pointed by g_dbDirectory cvar before starting the server. If this cvar is not set to a valid location, the shrubbot will not initialize. Then simply 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. However, the silEnT default zip comes with fully working structure and shrubbot.cfg file so you may not need to do this.
The element [level] in the shrubbot file format.
The element [level] in the shrubbot file format.
Level blocks define everything related to the levels in the shrubbot. These definitions include the level name, which is shown with !list command, commands available for the level, the welcome message when a player with the level enters the server, the sound that is played when player enters the server and of course, the number of the level. Do note that while each level can have it's own flags independently from other levels, the immunity against lower level commands is always based on the level number. The levels with bigger level numbers are immune to levels with smaller level numbers.
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".
The element [customvote] in the shrubbot file format.
The element [customvote] in the shrubbot file format.
Custom vote blocks allow admins to add new votes to be called with /callvote that are not part of the mod itself. The format of the [customvote] block:
[customvote] name = max 15 characters long name of the vote exec = max 1023 characters long execute line description = max 1023 characters long description of the vote votetext = max 255 characters long text to be shown as the vote passtext = max 255 characters long optional text to be shown if the vote passes levels = max 32 space separated optional level numbers
Where name is used with callvote command, exec is the commands that are executed if the vote passes, description is shown in the /callvote output if a vote is not called, votetext is the text that is shown in the vote, passtext is optional text that is printed to all players if the vote passes and levels is optional definition of levels that can call the vote.
Do note that if the levels are left empty, everyone can call the vote.
The element [command] in the shrubbot file format.
The 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. Additionally you can use shortcut [i] to replace it with the player ID of the player using the command.
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 syntax = (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 syntax = (name) 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'). Starting from silEnT version 0.6.1, it is possible to add syntax parameter to the command blocks. This helps creating proper !help syntaxes for the commands. See examples of the syntax parameter from !crybaby and !ms commands.
These are the limits on the shrubbot:
User Database
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.
silEnT can optionally also store player aliases. These aliases are stored to the side of the main database. To enable aliases database, you must set the g_dbMaxAliases to a positive integer. You can change the value later on, if for example there are too many aliases stored, the silEnT will automatically drop excess aliases from the oldest used aliases. The aliases are kept in the order of last seen list and the oldest aliases are deleted when necessary. Do note that the g_dbMaxAliases cvar must be set before the mod launches. This protects the database against the possibility of the rcon password falling into wrong hands.
Shrubbot includes functionality for server admins to handle database userdata. These commands are !aliasesdel, !aliassearch, !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.
!aliassearch
!aliassearch
This command searches the whole aliases database for the pattern in the names. Note that this command is the most resource intensive shrubbot command of all and it is not recommended to be used without a reason. How it performs in the practice depends of the aliases database size.
For each player the following information is shown:
identity information (silEnT ID)
each used alias that fits the search pattern
for each alias when it was first seen
for each alias when it was last seen
for each alias the total playtime with it
To see all the aliases of the found player you can use !userinfo aliases command. In the case of all the data not fitting in one page, you can give optional start parameter. The start parameter corresponds to the numbers shown in the first column of the results. So that each player has it's own number and under that number all the matching aliases from that player are printed.
!userlist
!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
!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
list of stored aliases if the aliases database is enabled on the server
Command can optionally print player's stored aliases if the optional aliases parameter is given and the aliases database is enabled by setting g_dbMaxAliases to a positive integer. If printed aliases don't fit in one page, optional page parameter can be used to access different pages.
Command requires the last 8 characters of the player's silEnT GUID. This GUID can be found with !userlist or !usersearch commands. This command works for both online and offline players. For compatibility !userinfopb will accept the last 8 characters of the player's PB GUID. The userinfopb does not show aliases however.
!useredit
!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
!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
!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
!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.
!userdel
!userdel
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
!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
!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
!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
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
Shortcuts
Server supports the replacement of the following keys in say messages
Forcing Client Settings
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
Announcement Sounds
When announcements are enabled 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:

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.
Hit Sounds
Hit Sounds
Starting from silEnT 0.6.0, the players have freedom to choose the type of hit sounds they prefer in the game. On top of that, servers can configure default hit sounds that are used. Also, it is possible to add custom hit sounds. However, custom hit sounds require additional custom pk3 file added to the server. The default hit sounds are defined using the g_defaultHitSounds server cvar. To add custom hit sounds, admins can add any of the following files into a custom pk3 file and the sounds are automatically loaded by the client. If on your server you do not want to have hit sounds, you can configure the g_hitsounds server cvar to disable or enable any of the possible types of hit sounds.
Body Hit Sound
sound/hitsounds/body.wav
Head Hit Sound
sound/hitsounds/head.wav
Team Hit Sound
sound/hitsounds/team.wav
To add any of the sounds, create a pk3 file with the mentioned path and sound file name. The added sound will be automatically played. The pk3 files are regular zips with only the zip ending changed with pk3. Do note that you must never overload the hit sound files that come with the silent pk3.

Lua support in silEnT mod
silEnT servers support Lua 5.1.4 scripts. Starting from version 0.5.1 the Lua interpreter is inbuilt into the server side mod. Before the vesion 0.5.1, the Lua was installed as an external module. silEnT's Lua API is aiming to be fully compatible to etpro's Lua API. Differences between silEnT's and etpro's Lua API are described in this documentation.

Also, from the old ban lists, at least the silEnT GUID (sguid) fields must be cleared to prevent false bans.
Reworked: Lua interpreter is now built into the server binary. This will make installing easier.
Removed: g_realHead realistic hitboxes from ETPub/zinx are now used always.
