Guide to Commands

This guide explains most, if not all ingame commands.

    Your username is the name of your player character.

  • /login <password

    Example: “/loadout load solp”

Using /vote changes your character’s map vote to the map of your choosing.

Custom Lobby

In a custom lobby, you get access to options to change how you want to play, this can make the game easier. You won’t earn any gamemodes-specific XP/DP from a custom lobby.

Below is a list of customisation options, not all of them work for every gamemode.

/map

/map select <map name> This changes the Arena/map for the Lobby.
/map edit <map name> If you have permission, you can edit the chest contents and the physical map.

/map tp <map name> Teleports you to the desired map.
/map help Lists all of the commands above.

/start & /stop

/stopmatch Immediately ends the gamemode. The Battle was terminated
/skiptoround [#] Immediatly ships to the desired round #.

/kick

/kick <player>
This will kick a player from the Lobby.

/menu

This refreshes the menu in-case there was an error.

/invite

/invite <player name>
Note that the player name only needs to include the first few characters that uniquely identify that person. For long names, this can save time! This will simply send an invite to the specified player, who will then do /join invite.

I’m working on noting down cmds like that and making sure they actually work.

I know cmds like /colorname don’t work anymore, but I don’t know what other ones are non-functional.

Anyone with an exotic cmd can check and add it to the guide.
I would be most grateful.
