Tadmin Mutator
for
AAO 2.8.5 servers
(Instruction Manual)
Tadmin was originally designed as a tool that allows any player to change the server map without needing to be an admin or PlayerAdmin.
Now the Tadmin has become more than a map changer.
Currently, the Tadmin allows the following functions to be carried out without the need to be an Admin or Playeradmin:
change server map
enable or disable cheats
set the duration of the game
set the number of rounds per game
enable or disable respawn
set AI skill level
swap teams
change class without using cheats
have infinite ammo without using cheats
get medical packages without using cheats
warn inactive players to move
randomly assign ammo when picking up enemy weapons
Tadmin can also help players to find the correct map that is running on the server and thus avoid the DCDS message. This works in conjunction with the dodges-community.net download system.
With Tadmin you can set a default map to which your server will automatically switch every time your server empties of players (this is configurable, you can activate or deactivate it)
In fact all the features of Tadmin are configurable you can activate and deactivate the ones you like from its ini configuration file.
How does it work?
Any player that connects to a server that has the TADMIN running has the possibility to become TADMIN (temporary admin).
To do so, just open the command console(press ~key) and type the command "mutate beadmin".
If no player is self-assigned the role of TADMIN all players can administer the server with TADMIN commands which is not recommended.
Once someone is self-assigned the role of TADMIN with the command "mutate beadmin" only this player can use the TADMIN commands to manage the server.
If the player who had the role of TADMIN is disconnected from the game, the mutator waits 2 minutes for the player to reconnect, if the player does not reconnect during that time the mutator will automatically remove the role of TADMIN to that player. This way any player that is in the server can self-assign the role of TADMIN with the command "mutate beadmin".
An Admin or PlayerAdmin can use all the TADMIN commands without needing to have the TADMIN role. they can even use the commands if there is a player who already has the role of tadmin.

How to install Tadmin on your server?
STEP 1: Get a copy of the Tadmin v1.9 here or go to github
STEP 2: unzip the file to extract it's content to a safe place.
STEP 3: Copy the files Tadmin.u, Tadmin.ini to the system folder of your server
STEP 4: Restart your server after adding the parameter ?Mutator=Tadmin.Tadmin to the last line in your RunServer.bat file as shown below.
EXAMPLE:
Server.exe LAN Bridge.aao?Mutator=Tadmin.Tadmin log=server.log ini=server.ini
Note: If you want the Tadmin map change function to be fully functional you must generate the files "tadmin_coop_list.lst" and "tadmin_pvp_list.lst" and copy those files to the System folder of your server. Below you can see the methods to create the lists for the Tadmin.
Any questions you can write to OBAN's email oban.bere@gmail.com
How to generate the PVP and COOP maps lists for Tadmin mutator:
There are two methods for creating the lists. the automatic method using a tool and the manual method.
Automatic method:
For this we are going to use a list generator tool that you can download here or go to github.The file you will download is a compressed file that contains 3 files:
maplistg.u
RunTool.bat
ToMapFolder.bat
To know how to use this tool watch this video tutorial
If an error occurs during the list creation process, watch the video to continue the process here
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before using this tool, you must have in the "Maps" folder of the game all the maps that your server has. so you can generate lists that reflect the maps of your server.
Manual method
The manual method consists of manually creating the tadmin_coop_list.lst and tadmin_pvp_list.lst files.
For this you must create two text files and rename them tadmin_coop_list.lst and tadmin_pvp_list.lst (it is important that you change the extension to .lst).
Then open each of the files with a text editor and begin to add the names of the maps one for each line and always ending the line with ":" as shown in the following example:
armoury_infiltration.aao
Once you finish adding the maps save your files and that's it.
Remember the COOP maps must go in the tadmin_coop_list.lst file and the PVP maps must go in the tadmin_pvp_list.lst file.
Once you have the files ready, upload them to the system folder of your server.
TADMIN COMMANDS FOR PLAYERS
Help command:
Displays the list of all available commands that a player can use. To use this command open the command console and type: mutate help
Become TADMIN Command:
To use this command open the command console and type: mutate beadmin (command to auto-assign the role of TADMIN)
Stop being TADMIN Command:
To use this command open the command console and type: mutate quitadmin (command to leave the TADMIN role).
Commands to change the map:
mutate switchcoop [x] (command to switch to a cooperative map)
mutate switchpvp [x] (command to switch to a player vs player map)
Where [x] can be the name of the map or the index number of the list map

mutate listpvp [x] (shows the list of available PVP maps)
Where [x] is a number that indicates the list that you want to see.
Example: mutate listcoop 10 (will show the list number 10 of cooperative maps).
You can also use Filters in these commands to see lists of maps classified by climate, class, etc.:
listcoop [CLASS], [TOD], [WEATHER], [SF], [OTHERS] [x]
listpvp [CLASS], [TOD], [WEATHER], [SF], [OTHERS] [x]
where:
[CLASS] = AIR, LAND, SEA, SPACE
[TOD] = DAWN, DAY, DUSK, NIGHT
[WEATHER] = CLOUDY, FOG, HAZY, MIST, RAIN, SNOW, SUNNY, CLEAR
[SF] = SF, NSF
[OTHERS] = BETA, NBETA, MOD, NMOD, ES2, NES2
[x] = x is a number that indicates the list number you want to see
Example: mutate listcoop land,snow2 (will show the list number 2 of Coop maps with snow and on land).

Examples: mutate settime 20 (Set the round length of the game to 20 minutes)
mutate setrounds 3 (Set the rounds per match to 3)
Note: The “settime [x]” command takes effect in the next round.
Commands to force weapons:
mutate forceall [x] (command to force all players to have the same weapon)
mutate giveme [x] (change the weapon of the player who used the command)
mutate changeclass [x] (change the weapon of the player who used the command)
Where [x] is the index number of the weapon in the list of weapons.
Example1: mutate forceall 12 (force all players to use the M9 pistol that has the index 12 on the weapon list)
Example2: mutate giveme 12 (give the players who used the command the M9 pistol)
Example3: mutate changeclass 12 (give the players who used the command the M9 pistol)
mutate listw1 (command that shows the list1 of available weapons)
mutate listw2 (command that shows the list 2 of available weapons)
Important note: the giveme command and the changeclass command may or may not be enabled, the Tadmin must use swgiveme or swchangeclass commands respectively to enable or disable them.
Commands to have infinite ammunition:
mutate paramsammo [x] (Command to have infinite ammunition)
Where [x] could be 1 or 0
Important note: the paramsammo [x] command may or may not be disabled, to enable or disable it you must use the swparamsammo command.
Commands to enable and disable respawn:
mutate respawnon (Command to enable respawn )
mutate respawnoff (Command to disable respawn)
mutate endgame (Command to terminate the match)
Note: the Tadmin must use the endgame command to allow players who joined late to a game to join the game. This is necessary when the respawn is activated in the game.
The TADMIN mod will automatically send a message every 20 seconds to the player who has the role of TADMIN to use the command "endgame" when it detects that there are players as spectators waiting to join the game.
In coop games it is necessary that there are at least 2 players connected for the respawn to work.Admin or PlayerAdmin.
These commands are used so that an Admin or PlayerAdmin disables the player who has the role of TADMIN if he is abusing of his role, or if the administrators want to take control of the match.
Command to choose the level of "AI Difficulty" in coop maps:
mutate aiskill [x] (Set the level of AI DIFFICULTY)
Where [x] could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, off
x=0 to set the level to Easiest
x=1 to set the level to Easier
x=2 to set the level to Default
x=3 to set the level to Harder
x=4 to set the level to Max
x=off to disable the command.
The behavior of the bots in the game is controlled by the "AI Difficulty". There are 5 levels for the "AI Difficulty" (level 0 Easiest, level 1 Easier, level 2 Default, level 3 Harder, level 4 Max).
Every time a match is started, the game automatically chooses the "AI Difficulty" level based on various parameters such as number of players, skill of the players, duration of a previous match, etc.
The common thing is to start a round with level 2 (default) but if we don't complete the mission in the round, when the next round starts the game automatically will lower the level of "AI difficulty" to level 0 or Level 1. But if we complete the mission too easily, then the game will increase the "AI Difficulty" level to level 3 or 4 in the next round.
As explained above, "AI Difficulty" is something that the game controls automatically, the aiskill command is for players to set the level of "AI difficulty".

Command to get random ammo when pick up an enemy weapon:
mutate prammo [x] (Enable/Disable pickup enemy random ammo)
Where [x] could be 1 or 0
This command causes that when you pick up an enemy weapon a random number of bullets is assigned to the weapon and it can also give you 1 to 3 clips of ammo and occasionally also give you grenades.

mutate tadminoff (command that enables the player with the Tadmin role to use the commands)
Note: These commands cannot be used by the TADMIN. They can only be used by an Admin or PlayerAdmin.
