I recommend reading through the RCON guide if you're not familiar with managing your server through the console. The simplest way to rename bots in basejka is to create new .bot files that use the existing models and then use the "funName" line to name them whatever you want. You can then upload those .bot files to your server either in a PK3 or directly, depending on what works for you. You can take a pre-existing bot from the game and then just change the name and funName so it's easier to spawn them in the console or type them out in general. Bot files are just text files similar to JSON. You can simply edit them with NotePad or TextEdit. You can create a new file in those programs and save them, just make sure they are saved as .bot, not .txt. Here is an example of what should be in the .bot file: { name "bot1" funName "^1BOT ^5Larry" model reborn_twin color1 0 color2 0 saber1 "single_7" saber2 "single_7" personality /botfiles/Reborn.jkb } Save the file as bot1.bot and it will need to go in a folder named scripts. Put that folder in a PK3 or upload it directly to the server in the base folder. You can make as many bots as you want, just make sure they are named something different (bot2, bot3, larry, jerry, gary, etc.). Once you have them on your server, don't forget to restart the server. You can then use the commands: rcon addbot bot1 Make sure to also set the amount of minimum amount of bots can be in the server before they get kicked by real people that join. 0-32 (or however many players you allowed). I usually set mine to 3 or 5 depending on activity. rcon bot_minplayers 5 You can also set the AI level 1-5 after specifying the bot name, and can also specify the team it joins, including spectators. S = Spectators R = Red team B = Blue team So you'd do it like so: rcon addbot bot1 5 s rcon addbot bot2 2 r rcon addbot bot3 3 b If you'd like to make them always be spawned in your server on a map rotation, you can add them to your map rotation vstr commands. Here is mine for example: set d1 "set g_gametype 0; map mp/ffa3 ;set bot_minplayers 3;kick allbots;addbot bot1 5 s;addbot bot2 5 s;set nextmap vstr d2" set d2 "set g_gametype 0; map mp/ffa2 ;set bot_minplayers 3;kick allbots;addbot bot1 5 s;addbot bot2 5 s;set nextmap vstr d1" To kick all your bots: rcon kick allbots

Mods like JA+ made being an admin of a server much easier for using commands like kicking, banning, etc. but they aren't needed to be a successful admin. Basic commands are built right into the game, but can be hard to remember if you're new to being an admin. The admin access method is called "rcon" which is short for remote control. The only way to use any rcon command is to set an rcon password in your server's server.cfg file like so: rconpassword "password" Replace the word password with one of your choice, leaving the quotation marks. Now that you have a password, you must log into rcon before using any of the below commands. To log in, join your server, open the console, and type the same command as above, /rconpassword password, but replace password with your password. NOTE: Some hosts lock rcon access to whitelisted IP addresses. There should be a file somewhere in your server file system that lets you whitelist your own computer's IP address or disable the function. On AsuTech.io servers, it's in the jediacademy folder. Now you're logged in and ready to control your server. Here are the basic commands you'll be able to use. Game and match management The commands below are for changing rules for the current game in session. Most of these require using /rcon map_restart to take effect. The game will remind you, if needed. /rcon map_restart Restarts the map after 5 seconds. You can add a number if you want it to be more or less then 5 seconds. (0 = instant map change) Example: \rcon map_restart 10 /rcon map mapname Example: /rcon map mp/ffa1 /rcon devmap [mapname] For cheats enabled. Example: /rcon devmap mp/ffa1 /rcon g_gametype X Changes the current game mode. Each mode has a number and are as follows: 0 - Free For All 3 - Duel 4 - Power Duel 6 - Team Free For All 7 - Siege 8 - Capture the Flag /rcon timelimit XX Changes the time limit in minutes Example: /rcon timelimit 10 \rcon fraglimit XX Changes the frag (kill) limit - 0 is no limit \rcon capturelimit XX Sets the number of flags that should be captured in CTF in order to win. \rcon forcetoggle You can type this in the server console to see the list of options and proper usage. This command basically allows you to toggle all force powers on/off at your will. \rcon timescale Set the ratio between game time and real time. Setting less than one (i.e. 0.5) makes everything go slower, setting higher then one (i.e. 1.5) makes everything faster. Default is 1. Note: best is not to set this higher then 2. Your server will start to lag like crazy and might crash eventually /rcon g_weaponDisable X Nothing is disabled if set to zero. Lightsaber only if set to 524279. The number is the total of a bitfield with 16 bits, each bit representing a weapon. Use this application to determine the value if you want certain ones. /rcon forcetoggle X You can type this without a number in the server console to see the list of options and proper usage. This command basically allows you to toggle all force powers on/off at your will. Replace X with the number you want. Use this application to determine the value if you want certain ones. /rcon g_forcepowerdisable X /rcon disable_item_medpak_instant 1 Disables the medpack pickups. Note the spelling of "medpack" Click the spoiler for the entire list of pick up items you can disable. To enable, set them to zero. User management The commands below are for managing players on the server. \rcon status Shows the client number (num), score, ping, player name (name), client IP address (address), and port connected through (qport). Client number is used in conjunction with the kick/clientkick command below. \rcon clientkick XX Replace XX with the ID number of the player you wish to kick. ID numbers can be found with rcon status. \rcon kick [player's name or ID number] The ID number of the player is found when you have already done an rcon status. ID number isn't always reliable, keep in mind. Once this variable is set, you can ban IP addresses from the rcon using the below command. Example: /rcon kick 3 \rcon addip XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Adds this IP address to the ban list. Replace the X's with the IP address found with /rcon status Example: /rcon addip 244.212.532.102 \rcon addip XXX.XXX.0 Bans the entire subnet, which bans everyone in the 289.292.0.XXX network. Effective for banning problem players who have a dynamic IP address. Yes, you probably can ban the entire subnet, but you'll loose a lot of potential players. Example: /rcon addip 244.212.0 \rcon removeip XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Removes this IP address from the ban list. Example: /rcon removeip 289.292.291.283 \rcon g_banips Shows the IP banlist in console. The below settings are best set in your server.cfg but can be fun or needed to change ingame too. /rcon g_forceregentime X Makes your force bar go back up very quickly. Example: /rcon g_forceregentime .1 g_friendlyfire 1 - Allows you to hurt your own allies with force powers or weapons other than your lightsaber g_friendlysaber 1 - Allows you to hurt your own allies with your lightsaber Recommend friendly damage off for casual play but enable for a hardcore feel or if your teammate will not stop team bumping you and needs to be taught a lesson. g_saberdamagescale X Affects how much damage lightsabers do. Setting to 0 makes everyone invulnerable. Default is 1 on basejka. Set to .8 for slightly more balanced damages while still feeling deadly. Comment below on any corrects or additions you feel are needed. There are other commands you can use in-game that can be found in the server.cfg file in your server.
