Wurm Unlimited GM Commands

Introduction

With the release of Wurm unlimited you will be able to make yourself different levels of GM's. At this time we do not have a set guide for what all this means to give you so I will start this thread where you can ask and answers can be provided. Eventually the information can be compiled into the wiki as a section on it. This is the ingame client discussion, we do not have much information I can give about server side.

So the basics:

You can assign some non-gm moderation type abilities to players as follows:
CA status, has colored text in ca-help tab, can see tickets but not respond to them or do anything with them (it is more a training/learning experience), and has a new chat tab called MGMT for team use. There are some ticket categories that will not show for CA and I forget right now but I think they were the payment related categories.
CM status is the moderator role which has ca abilities plus can interact with tickets. CM's also have the ability to use colored text in other chat windows, cannot be ignored by players, and can mutewarn and mute players in chat. CM get a gm chat tab they can post in but not read anything (to alert gm's if needed)
Devtalker is a flag you can set a player to be able to read the gm chat tab but not have gm powers. Typically used on GM play accounts (GM avatars are non-play characters in WO)

Ranks

You have 5 tiers you can assign as Gm's (1-5) with varying abilities.
Tier 1 (HERO) has limited abilities and can mostly move around invisible and teleport but not see character details or affect anything. They can be given a wand of teleportation to move around with.
Tier 2 (GM) is your normal GM. Tier 2 and above can set players as CA or CM, move players, ban players, lookup player information etc.
Tier 3 (High God) was never really used in WO and i can't say off the top of my head what it does extra (if anything) right now.
Tier 4 (Arch Angel) is when you can spawn items, set skills as a gm and have functions to shut down the server etc. Arch gm's cannot be seen by normal gm's when invisible. Arch gm also has an ebony wand in addition to the ivory one a gm uses. Arch gm's in WO usually have a mission ruler as well.
Tier 5 (implementor) is what DEV's in WO have, very little difference to an arch gm
The ticket system is in WU. Part of this is a watch list you can flag for players. Devtalker and GM tiers only see this list. Staff notes in the ticket system can be set to be visible by all, cm or gm only. CM+ notes can be seen by ca's even though it implies they cannot.

Mission Rulers

Mission rulers can be used to setup the missions. I am not sure how it will be updated in WU for the faith missions as those are not currently able to be created etc. with mission rulers in WO, they are autogenerated not custom. You might need high god (tier 3+) to use it and access the missions, it will have to be confirmed. A guide on how to use a mission ruler will come, but it's not a very user friendly system and not everything works in it. In WU you may be able to directly access functions to setup missions server side that are not available in the client as well, but I am not versed in that. An example of what we use the mission ruler for now is to setup the treasure hunts.

Jbergs Quick Start Guide/Cheat Sheet to being an (ARCH)GM

Combined with Jbergs Guide

Hello friends, I thought I'd throw together a little quick start guide for you all!

To note, this will never be an exhaustive guide, a lot of things you'll find through self exploration... this is just to help you get started and clear the fog of confusion on some confusing things!

First of all - you need a wand for most everything.
If you're a Demigod you'll need to give the toon an Ivory Wand.
If you're a ARCH (arch angel) you'll need an Ebony Wand.

In short, Demigods are for data collection for the most part, with some problem solving ability, while arch angels are the "fixers" with spawning abilities.

Here's a list of binds you *absolutely* should have available if you're running a GM toon;

bind [KEY] "flight" - For flying.
bind [KEY] #invis - For turning visible/invisible
bind [KEY] #chat <optional integer color here (I personally use 5231609)> - to chat with colored text. NOTE - only displays for yourself in a PM.
bind [KEY] "weather" - Weather GM cheat, can set time of day, rain, fog, wind direction and strength. NOTE - only local, affects only you.
bind [KEY] GMTOOL - brings up the all powerful GM Tool (all praise Tich, our overlord and saviour (please don't let me go back to the web interface again.... :((( )) - NOTE; Recommended to bind to middle mouse button or something of the like, if you click the button while hovering over an item, you pull up that items/players/tiles data.
bind [KEY] MUTETOOL - Small interface that has a few handy things, quickest shortcut to summon players.
bind [KEY] #changemodel gmdark - Spooky GM model. Fun to pop out and scare the poop out of someone!
bind [KEY] #changemodel gmnormal - Turn back to the regular player model.

Notable features for Arch Angels.
- Use your Ebony wand. It does practically everything that a Ivory Wand does... but keep an ivory wand around anyway, because there is a few differences.

- You can instantly dig with your ebony wand. Completely ignores slopes.

- You can instantly dredge with your ebony wand. Ignores slopes. Does not limit to 2 dirt a time.

--- "NonPVP" - No PvP actions work in this zone. Can probably attack from outside in.
--- "Hota" - Hunt of the aincients. You want to make this one pretty big.

--- "House Wood" - Will spawn a pre-built house at 80ql. Ignores not being flat. Can make larger than Carpentry restrictions allow. Do not make too large though, the lag from loading a structure like that is BAD. Comes with roof.

--- "Prem Spawn Only" - Players without premium cannot spawn in this zone. (I.E., tents does not work)
--- "No Build" - What it says on the tin. Includes modifying slopes.

- "Painting" terrain
-- Basically the bulk worker of Change Terrain.
-- Activate wand -> right click tile -> "Paint Terrain"
-- Determined by what the active Ebony Wands AUXDATA is set to.

--- You can paint a larger area by setting DATA1 and DATA2 (1->9). If they are 3&3, they will paint a 3x3 area. If they're 9&9, they'll paint a 9x9.

- Instant, infinite, leveling. (TURN OFF YOUR SOUND BEFORE DOING THIS - YOUR EARS WILL BLEED OTHERWISE)
-- Set AUXDATA of your wand to 1.

- Build house walls without spawning materials.
-- Put wand in the Crafting Window with a wall plan as the target.
-- Will always be 50 QL
-- Setting AUXDATA determines wall type.
--- 0 for wood.
--- 1 for stone.
--- 2 for timber frame
--- 3 for plain stone
--- Any other number will result in Wooden Walls.
-- If you change AUXDATA in the middle of building, you'll have to put the wand in the crafting window again for it to update the wall type.

Post Release Information

Setting the AUXDATA on the "Ebony Wand" to 1 eliminates the usage of dirt to level.

[River]

I didn't see it or it is here idk I didn't see it, but CA power to add and remove command, looks like that is the hardest command to find

All I know is #toggleca NAME - to make a CA

[Myst Leissa]

*Terminologies seemed to change: Demigod = GM = Power 2; which if i'm reading this guide right demigod (power 3) is supposed to be high god according to the recent patch's GM changes.

*For Complete Reference the Main thing "High God" [Power Level 3] is good for is Weight Negation atm (i think the patch notes screwed up Demi and High - the PL is 3 but the name is different)

[Marlon (Simple-Earth)]

@zera_fox: well that is because you are trying to play as a GM, which is not what a game master is for. ...

[Zia]

Your guide is great, but I'm struggling with some things. Where do I bind [KEY] flight at for flying? Is it in the settings or is there another place I need to look?

[arion]

@Zera_Fox I have not found another way but you can always try in the forums. From today onwards I will be unsubscribing to the thread.

[Zera_Fox]

So mining even with a pickaxe causes the vein to deplete, is there anyway to stop that without tuning down the GM/Arch access? o.o

[Garonne]

Whenever I try to activate the "Select Player" dropdown in the Player-tab of the server management window the window freezes (though the game is still running). I can't select any players nor give myself admin rights (as I seem to need to use that window to do it)...

[arion]

@Dampiir™ I would think if there is not a list online that you'd have to do a database dump of the list of IDs or viewing them somewhere in the database, when you have your server folder there are a bunch of .SQL files which are database files, it might be in one of them but I honestly don't know if they will be in there, its quite a longshot.

[Dampiir]

How does one get a list of item ID's?

[Daddy T]

I seem to not be able to get the visable/invisable command or bind to work. I have the flight key binded perfectly I do not like being invisible all the time i cant seem to change it.
