Useful ingame commands

Bring back what you know from joining the server If you wish to come back to the "start screen", type !motd into public chat. For US players the standard key for public chat is binded to Z [I am not sure about this], for Europeans and some others it's Y.

You have the possibility to access the Tutorial, a City Map, a Rules and a Donation section on the left menu. Thinking about the start of the game, you first choose your faction: Cop or Robber. If you have the rights, you can also join spectators. This menu can be reopened with key F2 [binding code?].

This is also explained in the !motd Tutorial. You should check it out, this and many more advice is very helpful. By now, the content from there will not be displayed in this article but additional tips.

Chat commands

For US players the standard key for public chat is binded to Z [I am not sure about this], for Europeans and some others it's Y. Public chat has a local and a global section. By putting a "//" in front of your lines, your text is visible to every user on the server.

Team chat can be accessed with U [at least for Europeans]. Every member of your faction can read what you write there.

The following commands do only work in the public chat box:

- Party chat: After founding/joining a party (F5), you can write to your party mates with /p

- Personal messages: Type !p NAME and your message. Normally, you only need few characters of the name typed as the system is able to find the right user without the full nickname.

- Admin/moderator chat is @ and your message, you might report rule breakers there or ask for help.

- Type in some phrases known from css and/or half life like "hax", "yeah", "sometimes", "woo", "nah"... By putting numbers in front of these phrases, the speed of these are adjusted. Can be fun, right.

Gameplay commands Pressing C while having your weapon out will give you access to the gun costumization hud. You can open the stats by pressing TAB.

You can send money ingame to other users of your faction by pressing F6 [actually forgot with key exactly, think it was F6].

General gmod commands

The console can be opened with the key binded to the console command. You can bind the key by entering settings in your game client and setting up the bind.

After your console opened, you have access to simple logs (e.g. who killed whom with what weapon and what notoriety level). You can copy and paste these lines. You also have the possibility to check for STEAM_IDs by the command status.

You can alter the colour of your Steam nick being shown on the server by renaming yourself with tags: [colour] [I never did that please confirm]
