ID corresponding to the player's hardware or forum account 2. `IP` - The player's IP Address 3. `Client ID` - The internal reference to a player, generated by **IW4MAdmin** 4. `Name` - The visible player name as it appears in game 5. `Client Number` - The slot the client occupies on a server. (The number ranges between 0 and the max number of clients allowed on the server) For most commands players are identified by their `Name` However, if they are currently offline, or their name contains un-typable characters, their `Client ID` must be used The `Client ID` is specified by prefixing a player's reference number with `@`. For example, `@123` would reference the player with a `Client ID` of 123. **All commands that require a `target` look at the `first argument` for a form of player identification** --- #### Additional Command Examples `setlevel` - _shortcut_ - `sl` - _Parameter 1_ - Player to modify level of - _Parameter 2_ - Level to set the player to ```[ User, Trusted, Moderator, Administrator, SeniorAdmin, Owner ]``` - _Example_ - `!setlevel Player1 SeniorAdmin`, `!sl @123 Moderator` - **NOTE** - An `owner` cannot set another player's level to `owner` unless the configuration option is enabled during setup `ban` - _Shortcut_ - `b` - _Parameter 1_ - Player to ban - _Parameter 2_ - Reason for ban - _Example_ - `!ban Player1 caught cheating`, `!b @123 GUID Spoofing` `tempban` - _Shortcut_ - `tb` - _Parameter 1_ - Player to ban - _Parameter 2_ - Ban length (minutes|hours|days|weeks|years) - _Parameter 3_ - Reason for ban - _Example_ - `!tempban Player1 3w racism`, `!tb @123 8h Abusive behaivor` `reports` - _Shortcut_ - `reps` - _Optional Parameter 1_ - `clear` (erases reports for current server) ___ ### Plugins #### Welcome - This plugin uses geo-location data to welcome a player based on their country of origin - All privileged users ( Trusted or higher ) receive a specialized welcome message as well - Welcome messages can be customized in `WelcomePluginSettings.json` #### Stats - This plugin calculates basic player performance, skill approximation, and kill/death ratio - Skill is an number derived from an algorithmic processing of a player's Kill Death Ratio (KDR) and Score per Minute (SPM). - Elo Rating is based off of the number of encounters a player wins. - Performance is the average of Skill + Elo Rating **Commands added by this plugin** |Name |Alias|Description |Requires Target|Syntax |Required Level| |--------------| -----| --------------------------------------------------------| -----------------| -------------| ----------------| |resetstats|rs|reset your stats to factory-new|False|!rs |User| |stats|xlrstats|view your stats|False|!xlrstats \|User| |topstats|ts|view the top 5 players on this server|False|!ts |User| |mostplayed|mp|view the top 5 dedicated players on the server|False|!mp |User| - To qualify for top stats, a client must have played for at least `3 hours` and connected within the past `15 days`. #### Login - This plugin deters GUID spoofing by requiring privileged users to login with their password before executing commands - A password must be set using the `setpassword` command before logging in **Commands added by this plugin** |Name |Alias|Description |Requires Target|Syntax |Required Level| |--------------| -----| --------------------------------------------------------| -----------------| -------------| ----------------| |login|l|login using password|False|!l \|Trusted| #### Profanity Determent - This plugin warns and kicks players for using profanity - Profane words and warning message can be specified in `ProfanityDetermentSettings.json` - If a client's name contains a word listed in the settings, they will immediately be kicked #### IW4 Script Commands - This plugin provides additional integration to IW4x - In order to take advantage of it, copy the `userraw` folder into your IW4x server directory #### VPN Detection [Script Plugin] - This plugin detects if a client is using a VPN and kicks them if they are - To disable this plugin, delete `Plugins\VPNDetection.js` - Adding **Client IDs** to the `vpnExceptionIds` array will prevent a client from being kicked. #### Shared GUID Kicker [Script Plugin] - This plugin kicks users using a specific GUID - GUID `F4D2C30B712AC6E3` on IW4x was packed into a torrent version of the game. ___ ### Webfront `Home` * Shows an overview of the monitored server(s) `Penalties` * Shows a chronological ordered list of client penalties (scrolling down loads older penalties) `Admins` * Shows a list of privileged clients `Login` * Allows privileged users to login using their `Client ID` and password set via `setpassword` * `ClientID` is a number that can be found by using `!find ` or find the client on the webfront and copy the ID following `ProfileAsync/` `Profile` * Shows a client's information and history `Web Console` * Allows logged in privileged users to execute commands as if they are in-game --- ### Game Log Server The game log server provides a way to remotely host your server's log over a http rest-ful api. This feature is useful if you plan on running IW4MAdmin on a different machine than the game server. #### Requirements - [Python 3.8.x](https://www.python.org/downloads/) or newer #### Installation 1. With Python 3.x installed, open up a terminal/command prompt window in the `GameLogServer` folder and execute: ```console pip install -r requirements.txt ``` If this fails, you can alternatively try installing with: ```console python -m pip install -r requirements.txt ``` 2. Allow TCP port 1625 through firewall * [Windows Instructions](https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-open-firewall-ports-in-windows-10,36451.html) * [Linux Instructions (iptables)](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-basic-iptables-firewall-on-centos-6#open-up-ports-for-selected-services) #### Launching With Python 3 installed, open a terminal/command prompt window open in the `GameServerLog` folder and execute: ```console python runserver.py ``` The Game Log Server window will need to remain running/open as long as **IW4MAdmin** is running #### Configuring * Update your `IW4MAdminSettings.json` by changing the value of `GameLogServerUrl` to "http://:1625" * Example — `"GameLogServerUrl": "http://192.168.1.123:1625",` --- ### Extending Plugins #### NuGet Package The NuGet package for **IW4MAdmin's** "Shared Library" can be obtained from the [NuGet Gallery](https://www.nuget.org/packages/RaidMax.IW4MAdmin.SharedLibraryCore) Referencing this package will give you the ability to write plugins against **IW4MAdmin's** core library. #### Code **IW4MAdmin's** functionality can be extended by writing additional plugins in C#. Each class library must implement the `IPlugin` interface. See the existing [plugins](https://github.com/RaidMax/IW4M-Admin/tree/master/Plugins) for examples. #### JavaScript **IW4MAdmin** functionality can also be extended using JavaScript. The JavaScript parser supports [ECMA 5.1](https://ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/) standards. #### Plugin Object Template In order to be properly parsed by the JavaScript engine, every plugin must conform to the following template. ```js var plugin = { author: 'YourHandle', version: 1.0, name: 'Sample JavaScript Plugin', onEventAsync: function (gameEvent, server) { }, onLoadAsync: function (manager) { }, onUnloadAsync: function () { }, onTickAsync: function (server) { } }; ``` #### Required Properties - `author` — [string] Author of the plugin (usually your name or online name/alias) - `version` — [float] Version number of your plugin (useful if you release several different versions) - `name` — [string] Name of your plugin (be descriptive!) - `onEventAsync` — [function] Handler executed when an event occurs - `gameEvent` — [parameter object] Object containing event type, origin, target, and other info (see the GameEvent class declaration) - `server` — [parameter object] Object containing information and methods about the server the event occured on (see the Server class declaration) - `onLoadAsync` — [function] Handler executed when the plugin is loaded by code - `manager` — [parameter object] Object reference to the application manager (see the IManager interface definition) - `onUnloadAsync` — [function] Handler executed when the plugin is unloaded by code (see live reloading) - `onTickAsync` — [function] Handler executed approximately once per second by code *(unimplemented as of version 2.\*)* - `server` — [parameter object] Object containing information and methods about the server the event occured on (see the Server class declaration) ### Live Reloading Thanks to JavaScript's flexibility and parsability, the plugin importer scans the plugins folder and reloads the JavaScript plugins on demand as they're modified. This allows faster development/testing/debugging. --- ### Misc #### Anti-cheat This is an [IW4x](https://iw4xcachep26muba.onion.link/) only feature (wider game support planned), that uses analytics to detect aimbots and aim-assist tools. To utilize anti-cheat, enable it during setup **and** copy `_customcallbacks.gsc` from `userraw` into your `IW4x Server\userraw\scripts` folder. The anti-cheat feature is a work in progress and as such will be constantly tweaked and may not be 100% accurate, however the goal is to deter as many cheaters as possible from IW4x. #### Database Storage By default, all **IW4MAdmin** information is stored in `Database.db`. Should you need to reset your database, this file can simply be deleted. Additionally, this file should be preserved during updates to retain client information. Setting the `ConnectionString` and `DatabaseProvider` properties in `IW4MAdminSettings.json` will allow **IW4MAdmin** to use alternate methods for database storage
