How to access the bearforce admin menu
This will show you how to open the admin menu itself. It is relatively simple.

When you type in the correct admin password on your server, the next time you press escape there should be extra options in the menu. This happens in every mod. However, there is an extra one unique to bearforce.


As you can see in the bottom left there is text in red that says "Bearforce II Admin Tools"



Simply click on the red text as you would do with any text and it will take you to the admin menu.



The spawn Menu
he spawn menu is possibly the biggest part of the admin menu but it can be glitchy. As the name suggests, it is a menu where you can spawn armours and weapons on players in the server, but this could potentially crash the server (Depending on the amount of things being spawned in!)



Some things you should know before using the spawn menu; horses do not work as their skeleton has been taken out of the mods files for speeder bikes (which have not yet been implemented)

Disclaimers
If you are dead items cannot be given to you, and you lose them after you die.
Whether you crash or not can be affected by how stable your game is.
Female bodies do not work on armours without textures.
Items without textures appear as an empty black box on the spawn menu.
To save a weapon for the next round you need to drop it and pick it back up.

Armour and Weapon spawns
I have personally checked all the items in both lists for armour and weapons and I did not crash once. This implies that using a male character, you can not crash and you are able to spawn in anything. Please note that spawning items using the "everyone" option still may cause a crash if there are many people on the server.


Horse Spawns
Don't.
Basic Admin Options
Here we are going to see all of the more basic admin options and what they do. It's important to know that most admin tools have an "everyone" option, if you would like to select everyone on the server.

Many of these options are self-explanatory but for people newer to admining I will go through them all.




Set Gold
As the first option on our list this allows you to choose a player and set how much gold they have to spend on their equipment with immediate effect.

Mortal/Immortal
This allows an admin to choose a player and set them to be immortal, it can also be reversed with the mortal opion which will be at the top of the menu. Take note that spawning an item on a player removes their immortality.

Mute/Unmute
This allows an admin to mute any player and unmute them when they choose. Mute does not apply for admin messages/chat. Mute can be removed by leaving and rejoining the server.

Set HP
This allows an admin to set the health of any player on the battlefield from a scale of 1-100. Setting a players health to 1 can cause them to die if they have used a jet or force jump

Slay a player
This allows the admin to slay (kill) a player on the server. Useful for teamkillers/trolls. Immortality does not stop a slay.

Slay bots
Allows the admin to slay all the bots that are alive.

Slay Horses
Horses? What horses?

Switch Team
This is the most beautiful tool ever made in the admin menu. It allows the admin to select a player and forcefully move them to "Team 1", "Team 2" or just "Swap Teams". This is fundamental for events.

Teleport
Allows the admin to teleport themselves to a player or a player to themself.

Reset Map
Allows the admin to restart the map without having to reload the map. Moves every player back to their spawn, resets score and resurrects any dead players.
Advanced Admin Tools
Doubtless you saw in the last screenshot, to the right of the basic admin options, there was another box which included some more options. Time to go through them now!




Anti-Teamkill System
The anti-Teamkill system is here so that multiplayer servers can be maintained without an admin presence needed. The admin is able to set how many teamkills lead to the player being kicked. They can also choose how many kicks are required before a player is banned for 1 hour. Take note that some users are immune to this system for an unkown reason.

Page 1 Options

Drowning can be activated or deactivated.
Messages when players join the server can be activated or deactivated.
Messages when players leave the server can be activated or deactivated.
Server messages can be activated or deactivated.
The time between each server message can be edited.



Going to ignore the ones that mention horses because as you guessed, they are useless.

Page 2 Options
Duel armours can be activated or deactivated (it just makes you respawn in a mail and surcoat but with no feet or hands)
Weapons and shields can be activated or deactivated.
Kicking can be activated or deactivated.
"DISABLED" just counts down from 50 and then crashes the server, I wouldn't reccommend using it.
MOF (flag cap) can be activated or deactivated.


Class limits
The class limit system was designed to try and stop the ever growing jedi spam that was plaguing public play.

Infantry count as Jedi
Cavalry count as Specialists
Archers count as Troopers

Using this system you can limit how many players are able to take certain classes by percentage e.g if the class limit was 50% and there are 10 people on the server only 5 people would be able to take that class.


Page 3 Options
Global mute can be activated or deactivated (when activated it mutes anyone who joins the server).
Immortal Loop can be activated or deactivated (when activated anyone who joins the server is immortal until turned off).

Weather System - Can choose to make it snow/rain (player side rather than server), the weather is only affected in a 5m (roughly) radius around the player.
Personal Admin Hotkeys
To use the admin teleport, press "Alt GR" , "O" and "P" and then aim where you want to teleport , if you block with a melee weapon then the teleport is cancelled and it has a limited range (But farther than force teleport)

ALT GR = Right alt

Speed modifier
To use the speed modifier use the hotkeys "Ctrl" (Left ) "Alt" (Left) and then either f8 , f9 , f10 and f11.

f8= Walking speed
f9= Normal speed
f10 = Pretty fast
f11 = Really fast

Can confirm that this guide is accurate to what the admin tools really are like in Bearforce.

Also, nice grammar.:accord:
