This panel is used to check the specifics of the current round. The first section is the most important one as it has links to panels which show who antagonists are, AI laws + law changes, the manifest, game mode, etc. The rest of the list are events which you can trigger. At the end of the secrets panel there is a link to the admin log, available to full [[Administrators|game admins]]. This shows a log of what buttons were pressed and who pressed them so don't muck around with these buttons - It's all logged.

Note: This page is moderated and can be referenced in ooc issues, such as ban appeals, complaints, reports, etc. This may not apply to the pages this page links to.

This is a quick guide intended for new administrators. It does not cover everything you need to know but just the basics. Also note that the specific verbs and options from this guide will change over time as tools change, but overall this is what the main tools look like:

Admin Tabs

On becoming an administrator, you will be presented with a variety of tabs that are not shown to a regular player. These tabs include MC, Admin, Debug, Fun, Mentor, Prefs - Admin, Server, and Special Verbs. Through these tabs you will have multiple tools that will assist you in tickets, bus, or anything else you might need to do as an administrator.

Here's an overview:

Player panel

Possible ways to access the Player Panel:

  • Typing Player-Panel into chat
  • Right clicking a player and selecting Player Panel
  • Using the Player Panel button under the 'Admin' tab
  • A variety of other unused ways of accessing the panel

Contains a list of players with information about them. Most useful for finding players. There is one player panel available with the ability to select a player, access their traitor panel, freeze them, mute them, and a variety of other options.

Banning Panel

The Banning Panel allows you to ban or kick a player from the game. It can be customized from a temporary to permanent ban, antagonist or server ban. The Banning Panel allows you to ban either a CKey, IP, or CID. You can ban from job or antagonist positions as well. Using the BAN option on a player's Player Panel will automatically fill out the Key and IP portion of the Banning Panel.

Banning panel.PNG

View variables

Accessed by right clicking an item and selecting 'view variables'

Contains the interface for viewing and editing variables of objects and mobs and such. You can break the game entirely with this panel so take your time and learn what you can and what you mustn't edit! Use the search function to quickly access variables - it searches by both variable name and value.

View variables 1.PNG

The panel also includes an 'extended options' drop down for the object you have selected. These are things that just don't fit in the right click menu due to it becoming cluttered.

View variables 2.PNG

One interesting variable is called "ckey," short for "canonical key." It typically only shows up in mobs that a player can control, but isn't necessarily limited to such things. Altering this variable isn't recommended, but if you choose to do so, be aware that it has a number of functions.

Deleting the variable can serve to kick the player out of the game, at which point they can re-enter without fuss or muss. Changing the variable to someone else's BYOND key will put that BYOND user in control of the mob. In that way, one can assign a player to be a monkey for a while, or create a body-switching scenario by abusing the "lastkey" variable.

Adminhelps and prayers

Adminhelps arrive when players need help (they are OOC). Prayers when they pray (they are IC). The format is:

Adminhelp.PNG

Pray.PNG

  • Click on the username to send them a PM
  • Click on the ? to see a short summary about the player
  • PP = Player panel
  • VV = View variables
  • SM = Subtle message
  • FLW = Follow player
  • TP = Traitor panel
  • LOGS = Mob/Client logs
  • SMITE = Smite player (BSA, brain trauma, fireball, etc..)
  • REJT = Reject Adminhelp
  • IC = Mark as IC
  • RSLVE = Resolve Adminhelp
  • WIKI = Mark as Wiki Issue
  • BUG = Mark as Github Issue
  • MHELP = Mark as Mentor Help
  • JMP = Jump to (makes you a ghost before jumping)
  • CA = Check antagonist (shortcut to the secret panel 'check antagonist' link)
  • SC = Spawn cookie

Traitor panel

Accessed by right clicking a mob, selecting "Show Player Panel" then clicking the "Traitor Panel" option in their Player Panel.

Allows you to:

  • Assign them a round position (Roboticist, Captain, Clown, etc..)
  • Assign them a Faction or Antagonist role (Traitor, Ninja, etc..)
  • Give them a traitor or nuclear uplink
  • Edit their IC memory
  • Edit their common commands

Traitor panel.PNG

Game panel

This is a simple panel that allows you to spawn certain objects, turfs, or mobs. Additionally, you can set the game mode or the secret game mode before the round begins.
