Day-to-day¶
| Task | How |
|---|---|
| Apply a configuration change | /hcf reload |
| Check the version and game mode | /hcf version |
| Start or stop an event | /events start <id>, /events stop <id> |
| Open or close the map | /sotw start [duration], /eotw start |
| Close a raid early | /team setdtr <team> <value> |
| Lift a deathban | /pvp lift <player> (console too) |
| Look at the ticket queue | /tickets |
| Reset for a new map | Stop the server, back up, then empty the database or point storage at a new one |
Read the console
The plugin reports every setting it could not use, every load that failed, and why. After /hcf reload, a clean console means your files were understood as written.
