Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

Since there is an uprising of inexperienced admins taking the reigns of responsibility, I will give you all a brief overview of some basic commands that you are going to be using. This thread will be stickied and is to be used as a guideline. What makes me a great candidate for writing this? Because after administering for 8 years, I think it's safe to say I know my shit. So I will group these commands accordingly, and you will use them to your best advantage in-game.

Demos

This is my biggest tool being an administrator, especially when I am unsure if someone is hacking or walling, or because I like to take a few rounds of a person I know 100 percent hacking and ban him so I can watch him whine on our forums because he thinks he's too sly to be caught. First and foremost, the command to record a demo is:

record "player name" (minus the quotes, and type this in your console)

When you watch a demo, you have to disconnect from the current game, and type in your console "playdemo 'demo name'"

So if I recorded a demo of let's say, me, I would type "record Knightrider" and then "playdemo Knightrider"

I recommend naming the demo after the player you're demoing. If you have multiple demos, name them Knightrider1, 2, etc.

Now some things to take in account when you're reviewing a demo: Use headphones and LISTEN. Pay attention to where other players have died before the player attacks them, and pay attention to microphone chat (when the alive person chats, it reveals their location.) This is just what you have to do as an admin.

Now it's time for the fun stuff. There are some valuable tools Source gives you when it comes to reviewing demos. Before you watch a demo of a waller, type "sv_cheats 1" in console. Then type "mat_wireframe 1" and start the demo. Now you will be able to see players through the wall as the suspected waller, and it will help you see if that person really was tracing someone through the walls. I have caught a lot of hackers with this tool. You can even toggle the degree of wireframe down a notch by entering 2 or 3 as the numerical value.

I think that demos are a huge part of bans, and I recommend even if they appear blatant to you to take at least 1-3 rounds of a demo.

Mani quick keys

@slay Knightrider - Slays anyone named Knightrider (obviously type that person's name in.)
@kick Knightrider - Kicks designated client
@ban 0 Knightrider - Bans me permanently
@spec Knightrider - Moves me to spectator. Slay me first.
@setcash #all 16000 - Gives everyone in the server 16k. Change the #all value to #ct or #t (or if you want to feel my wrath, give only yourself cash. Go ahead, do it, I dare you.)
@mute Knightrider - Mutes selected client permanently. Type same command (not @unmute, this is not SM) to unmute.
@@ Knightrider - Talks directly to specified client.
@@@ COCK! - Displays COCK! in nice, clear white text across everyone's screen in the entire server. Kind of like subliminal advertising.

Useful Mani console commands
ma_explode - Useful for campers. Scare the living shit out of them as they sit in garage for minutes on end.
ma_admins - Lists current admins in the server
ma_chat - Another way of chatting through admin chat. I use ma_chat for my binds.
ma_pistols - Only run this command if you run a vote that is successful for a pistol round. It will restrict all weapons other than pistols.
ma_unban Knightrider's steam ID - We ban through console + Mani, so you will have to swing an unban request by us in most cases. This will unban through console the designated Steam ID.

There are other commands that have been used in the past, just send me a message if you need them. Use this guide to your own advantage and do NOT abuse your privileges. If you abuse your admin, you will forever tarnish your reputation with me and that is not a good thing, trust me.

Seriously the most important part of being an admin is the @@@ COCK! command, followed closely by the ma_explode. Might I suggest binding them both. Bind key say "@@@ COCK!" and Bind key ma_explode.

I don't know how I would ever be able to admin without these two guise.
