ClanMod is a tool for Half-Life mods like Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, and Team Fortress Classic. It helps you to administer your server(s) with a minimal use of console commands. It also allows you to delegate different commands to your various other admins so that you do not have to give full rcon control to each of them. The most prominent feature of ClanMod is the easy-to-use menu interface that allows you to use the tool right away without the typical learning curve of console-based tools.
ClanMod allows you to:
- slap, kick, ban, unban, and teleport players
- change maps, game settings, and custom server variables (cvars)
- put custom commands into the menu interface
- schedule tasks (such as auto-loading configs/password for a booked server)
- make screenshots and record demos remotely on client computers
- send coloured center screen messages
- initiate voting sessions for maps, kicks, or make custom votes on the fly
- make aliases to server commands so that they can be executed from the client
- password-protect names and clan tags
- many others administrative tasks which can be performed by menu interface or simple and short console commands.
ClanMod will run on any Half-Life game mod supported by Metamod. See the Supported Mods page of the Metamod website for more details - http://www.metamod.org/gamesupport.html
ClanMod features a flexible and customizable security system. You have the ability to add users to the admin list by their:
- WONID
- SteamID
- Name
- IP
The last two are not recommended for public servers but are very useful for LAN servers where there are no WONIDs or SteamIDs available.
For more information about setting up admin accounts, please see "Creating Admins" in the manual.
