Categories

Commands are organized into engine-specific categories for easier navigation. Every command within a given category can only be execute against servers that have the same game-engine as the category.

Categories are managed through the Commands tab. Clicking on a category will collapse/expand it, showing its child commands.

Press the menu button to add a new category. Performing a long-click on a category will allow you to edit it, remove it, or add new commands to it.

Commands

Commands are applied to either a selected server or player. Commands can be configured with three option types:

• None - The command string is simply executed.
• Map list - The user is presented a live list of map options from the server.
• Custom list - The user is presented a list of custom optioins.

When a command is sent, it scans the provided command string for parser variables, identified between {% and %}. Any invalid variables are simply passed through.

Commands are managed through the Commands tab from the main screen. Long-click on a command to edit or remove it.

Parser variables

The following variables can be used in your command strings:

• {%server.name%} - The current server name.
• {%player.name%} - The current player name.
• {%option%} - The selected custom or map-list option.

Servers

Servers are managed from the first screen the app opens up to - the server list.

Servers are automatically refreshed every 30 seconds.

Use the menu button on your phone to add new servers or refresh all servers. Clicking on a server will open up the server info panel, providing tabs to view detailed information, player lists, and console control, respectively.

Long-clicking on a server will allow you to edit or remove it, as well as provide you will a navigable menu of category/commands to execute against the selected server.

Details

After clicking on a server from the server list, the server details panel should appear. This shows a detailed list of server settings.

The menu button will allow you to edit, remove, or refresh the server.

Player list

The player list tab provides a list of current players and their respective scores. The list is refreshed along with the server, every 30 seconds.

Long-clicking on a player will provide a navigable context-menu of categories/commands that be execute against the selected player.

The menu button will allow you to refresh the player list (along with the rest of the server details).
