Executive Council Popular Post Benz Posted October 22, 2017 Executive Council Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2017 Zombie Survival Moderator Guide A step-by-step guide for new and current Zombie Survival Moderators. 1. Understand that abuse is NOT tolerated. You are given the privilege, not the right, of this position. Please follow all server rules. All actions are logged and thus viewable by HG Leadership. Act professional. 2. Remember: Always warn > kick > ban. An exception to this rule includes hackers or people that have recently been banned. 3. If the situation involves props instead: Always warn > zlock > zlist. An exception to this rule is if the person has been zlisted recently. 4. It is recommended that you bind a key to "xgui". This will allow you to open the ULX Menu without the need to type "!Menu" into chat or otherwise take the time to type out a command. This is done by the following: Make sure you have enabled developer console in the GMod options menu. Open up the console by pressing the ~ key. In the console, type: bind <insert desired key> xgui. An example: bind k xgui (As indicated below.) The ULX Menu 1. Welcome to the ULX Menu. There are 3 tabs: Cmds, Maps, and Settings. As a moderator, you will only be concerned with the Cmds tab. (NOTE: As we are using my ULX Menu as an example, the commands may be slightly different due to the fact that I have trusted admin (you have server admin). Under the Cmds tab, you will have 10 dropdown menus: Chat, Fun, Menus, Teleport, User Management, Utility, Voting. You should only be concerned about: Chat, Fun, Teleport, Utility and Zombie Survival. 2. Keep in mind: There will be several ways to invoke commands. All will achieve the same result. Directly by chat (In chat, you must precede a command with !, no spaces followed by a target. Examples will be shown. All commands will follow the said template.) Using console (In console, you must precede a command with ulx followed by a target. Examples will be shown. All commands will follow the said template.) Using the ULX Menu (Open the ULX Menu and simply click.) -- Chat -- asay Used for admin chat. If you have any questions regarding a situation or rule, having an admin-admin conversation about in-game events, or if a player needs to contact an admin, this is used. Example Template (Chat above, console below): gag Used to prevent a player from using in-game voice chat. (Use this if the player is spamming on the in-game voice chat or behaving badly in it. (NOTE: Do not use a space inside the name or it will target multiple people.) Example Master Template (Chat above, console below): mute Used to prevent a player from using in-game text chat. (Use if the player is spamming the text chat or behaving badly in it. (NOTE: Do not use a space inside the name or it will target multiple people.) psay Used to chat to a player privately. This can also be used to warn a player. Example Template (Chat above, console below): -- Fun -- slay Used to kill a player. (Mainly used for instances where a blacklist would not be appropriate for the situation, such as exploiting an unbreakable door or delaying an objective map.) -- Teleport -- NOTE: Teleport commands may not work if the area near the target is too small or props are nearby. bring Used to teleport a player to exactly where you stand. goto Used to teleport yourself to another player. return Used to teleport a player back to their original position before they were teleported. (Doing just the command without a target will return you, the admin, back to your original position if you teleported.) send Used to teleport player 1 to player 2. Format is !send <player1> <player2> Example Template (Chat above, console below): teleport Used to teleport a player to where your crosshair is pointing. -- Utility -- Ban Used only as a last resort, after a player has been warned and kicked or for hackers. (NOTE: You may only ban someone for up to a max of 2 hours, proof is allways required.) In order to ban someone, follow the template below. This is the chat command, the console command should be self-explanatory. The ULX Menu will have further options to accommodate this should you choose that route to ban. The template is: ban <name> <duration> <reason>, in which for <duration>, you can enter a time length and use m (minutes), h (hours), or d (days), if your chosen time is over 2 hours it will automaticaly default to 2 hours. Example Template (Chat above, console below): Kick Used after warning someone and said player continues to behave in that manner. You can add a reason after the name. Noclip Useful when you need a bigger overview of whats going on in the game, for example if you are having trouble with a large amount of players spawnkilling. Ideally want to refrain from using this command, note that viewtarget is more than sufficient to understand an issue from another perspective ingame. Noclip is a last resort and you would rarely find any reason to use it unless dealing with things on a large scale. Spectate Used to spectate a player. This puts you in their POV. Your physical body will be stuck on the position you are standing at while you spectate. You can also use this to check if a player asking for a teleport is really stuck or for hackers. Exit spectate mode by moving your player (W, A, S, D). Spymode Used to spy on the opposite team by being able to read and hear their chat. This should be used if there are complaints of people spamming text or voice chat in the opposite team. addbots Adding bots is a last resort for filling up population; strictly to be only used in this way unless directed by a Division Staff or Division Leader. If any mod is caught misusing this command, the entire functionality will be stripped from this rank. Use it carefully and properly. Used in conjunction with 'removebots', same concept but removes instead of adds. viewtarget Ideally used to check if someone's zlist is valid, or if people are spawncamping. This command will be used if you are unsure of someone's zlist being appropriate, if someone is stuck, or if someone is outside of the map. -- Zombie Survival -- Redeem Used to revive a player from the zombie team. This should be used on players that crashed before wave 1 has begun or died due to a glitch. To be sure that they died from a glitch, check console for the cause of death. Zlist (AKA Blacklisting) Used to prevent a player from interacting with props or using the Carpenter's Hammer. This includes holding props or breaking them. This should be used on players creating bad cade or trolling with props, or any action related to props. This should be used as a last resort, after a player has been both warned and zlocked previously. (NOTE: You may only blacklist someone for up to a max of 2 hours, proof is allways required.) In order to blacklist someone, follow the template below. Example Template (Chat above, console below): Zlock Used to prevent a player from interacting with props or using the Carpenter's Hammer. This includes holding props or breaking them. This should be used on players creating bad cade or trolling with props, or any action related to props. It can also be used to prevent someone from creating a spawnpoint with zombie or becoming a boss. This will blacklist a player for the entire map duration, until a map change. If this is used in a situation involving props, remember to warn beforehand. ----- TIPS When a player has non-Latin letters and/or non-Arabic digits in their name, you can use the ULX Menu or console to locate their name. In console, you can type out the command and once you reach a target, a dropdown menu will appear. Use the arrow keys to navigate until you find the name. You do not need to type the whole name after a command. As long as the input name has a part of that players name and no duplicate names are present, the command will work on said target. Example: A player has the name of 'ThisIsFun'. You can type in the name 'sfun' instead of the whole name. This won't work if there is another player with the name of 'GarrysFun', since both names contain 'sfun'. Please contact a Garry's Mod dS+ or fellow moderator(s) if you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns regarding your abilities or situations. 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
