Chat Commands
FBDj listens to the chat messages that are sent within the game. Chat messages that start with a “<”
are considered user chat commands while Chat messages that start with a “!” are considered Admin
chat commands. To help keep chat to a minimum it is best to submit these chat commands to ‘Server’
to cut down on chat traffic to everyone. Sending a Chat command to MY ARMY will not produce any
response while sending it to ALL will work, but will also broadcast the chat to all players (Not good if
your changing your password).

Here is a list of the currently available commands:

User Commands

as well as have a valid password.

!mission_Timeleft xxx Which would reset the missions timeleft to the value indicated by xxx in minutes.

!Kick playername which will disconnect or kick a player from the game.

!Ban_add playername:duration Adds the player to the ban list for the duration given (0=permanent ban)
and then disconnect the player from the game.

!ban_remove playername Removes the player from the ban list.

!Player_list Which will list all players in the game with their Channel (Socket) number and IP address.

!mission_restart Will restart the currently running mission.

!load_mission xxx Will load the mission given by the xxx. (Note: FBDj will look for missions loaded from the chat bar in a

!console xxx Send a IL2 console command directly to the server.

!password_change xxx Allows an administrator to change their password.

!markings_warning playername Sends a message to the player to change their markings and use the ‘Default’ skin.
Message is sent 3 times or until the player hits ‘refly’

!markings_warning_kick playername Sends a message to the player to change their markings or be kicked. Message is sent 3 times then the player is
kicked, or the player hits ‘refly’.

Note: the Kick, Ban Add, and markings commands allows you to substitute the socket number for the playername.
This is handy if there are imbedded spaces or special characters within the name.
Use the Player_list command to get the socket numbers.

Mission_Timeleft (mtl)
Ban_Add (ba)

Gunstat(gs)
Markings_warning (mw)
