### Admin Commands Admin commands can be typed in to the in-game chat (or sent from the Admin Panel on the Live Timings page) to trigger certain events. In order to access most of the admin commands you must either use the "Admin Password" that you configured on the Server Options page to connect to the server, or use the following command once joined with the same password: `/admin password` Once you have done that you will have full access to all of the admin commands. Whenever a command is related to a certain driver you can always use either car ID, GUID or name to target that driver, for example if a driver had the name "Billy", was connected to car ID 4 and had the GUID "99999999999999999" I could kick them using any of the following commands: - `/kick Billy` - `/kick 4` - `/kick 99999999999999999` The only exception to this is the `/spectate` command. ## Non-admin Commands - `/admin` - Gives the user access to admin commands (e.g. `/admin password`) - `/spectator` - Gives the user access to spectator commands (e.g. `/spectator password`) - `/help` - Displays a list of currently available commands, you can also optionally add the name of a command for information about that command, for example `/help admin` - `/pm` or `/direct` - Sends a direct message to another driver using car ID, GUID or name! Message must be wrapped in quotes (e.g. /pm Billy "How are you doing today?") ### Penalty Commands The following commands are only available when ACSM penalties of some form are enabled. - `/penalty_info` - Returns detailed information about any penalties or warnings that the driver using the command currently has - `/penalty_average_lap` - Returns the current average clean lap time of the driver using the command, ignoring any laps that are outside of 107% of their best ## Admin Commands - `/kick` - Kick a driver from the server using car ID, GUID or name! (e.g. `/kick 3`) - `/force_kick` - Forcibly close the server connection to a driver using car ID, GUID or name! (e.g. `/force_kick 3`) - `/ban` - Kick a driver from the server and add them to the block list using car ID, GUID or name! (e.g. `/ban 3`) - `/unban` - Remove a driver the block list using GUID (e.g. `/unban 12345678987654321`) - `/ban_list` - Lists all drivers on the server block list, as well as any drivers who are currently on the no join list - `/guid_list` - Lists all drivers in the entry list and their GUID, grouped by whether they are currently connected to the server or not - `/next_session` or `/ksns` - Move to the next configured session, or back to the first session if loop mode is on - `/restart_session` or `/ksrs` - Restart the current session - `/client_list` - See a list of clients in the current entry list - `/ballast` - Apply ballast (maximum 5000kg) to a driver from the server using car ID, GUID or name! (e.g. `/ballast Kevin 40`) - `/restrictor` - Apply an air intake restrictor (maximum 400%) to a driver from the server using car ID, GUID or name! (e.g. `/restrictor Brad 40`) - `/next_weather` - Move to the next configured weather in the session, if multiple weathers are defined ## Spectator Commands - `/spectate` - Spectate a given driver by their car ID (e.g. `/spectate 10`), only useful in Solo Qualifying sessions (Visibility Mode set to Solo) - `/spectate_class` - Spectate a given class by their class name (e.g. `/spectate_class lmp2`), only useful in Class Qualifying sessions (Visibility Mode set to Class) ## Extra Server Information > These commands and the related information are only available from ACSM v2.4.0 Extra server information is intended for use by client side applications in order to get extra information from the server that is not usually made available to the client. - `/server-extra-info-opt-in` - Opt in to extra information from the server, sent via chat messages - `/server-extra-info-opt-out` - Opt out of extra infomation from the server ## Collision Messages Available from v2.4.0, collision messages are formatted as follows: `"Collision",CarID,DriverGUID,OtherDriverGUID,OtherCarID,EventType,Speed,Position,RelativePosition,TimeStamp,AfterSessionEnd` For example: `Collision,0,44444444444444444,,0,11,40.16,"Vec3F(-196.215378, -4.763421, 25.719995)","Vec3F(1.006236, -0.302321, 1.974535)",2006-01-02 15:04:05,false` `EventType` is 10 for a collision with another car and 11 for a collision with the environment, `OtherCar/Driver` data is empty for a collision with the environment. ## Penalty Messages > Penalty messages are only sent if ACSM Custom Penalties are enabled, and then messages for certain systems (for example DRS usage) are only sent if that specific Penalty system is enabled. > Available from v2.4.2. ### Infraction Sent whenever a driver receives an infraction: `"Infraction",CarID,DriverGUID,InfractionType,NumCuts,NumWarnings,WarningsBeforePenalty` For example: `Infraction,3,55555555555555555,0,1,3,5` #### List of Infraction Types These are the possible infraction types for the Infraction message.
