Usage

Use a normal telnet client to connect to the correct port (the Listen port you configured). You will be prompted for a username and password, you can use the same username and password as you can with the WebAdmin. You need to have Console privileges (if you use the advanced access controll). After you login on the server you will see the command prompt:
<username>@<server ip>#
For example:
Admin@192.168.1.1#
From this point you can enter commands to be executed on the server. Depending on the prefix a command will be executed:
PrefixResult
/ This will execute a builtin command (if it exists)
. This will execute the console command: say
none This will execute a console command in the context of the game, not all commands will work in this console, for example the `admin ...` commands do not work, for this I've build some extra builtins. `set` and `get` do work.
There can also be hotkeys to trigger builtin functions, hotkeys are entered using: Ctrl+<key> or Meta+<key> The <key> is case sensitive (most commands of UTelAdSE are case sensitive). The `Meta` key is often ESC or Alt, depeing on what your client supports, most clients support the ESC+<key> (first press ESC then the <key>)

Pressing the UP or DOWN arrow will allow you to scroll through the command history of the last 10 commands you tried to execute. You can use the TAB key to complete the builtin command you were entering, for example, you type `/sta[TAB]` with will result into `/status`

Below is a description of all builtins provided by this package. Most builtin take parameters, I use the following format to dislay these parameters:

/command <required|or this> [optional] values values ...
Parameters between <> are required Parameters between [] are optional <one|two> means that you can either use the parameters "one" or "two" "values ..." means that more of these values can be entered

TelnetHelperClasses=class'UTelAdSE.UserGroupAdmin'

This will create a user `username` with password `password`, in group `group` and with optional privileges `privileges` The value of `privileges` is how the privileges are stored in the XAdmin.ini, using a list of privilege tokens, for example:
T|Mr|Ms|Mc
remove <username>
This will remove the user `username`
set <username> [-pass <password>] [-addgroup <group>] [-delgroup <group>] [-addmgroup <group>] [-delmgroup <group>] [-privs <privileges>]
This will set some properties for this user.
`-pass <password` will set the new password
`-addgroup <group>` will add the user to this group
`-delgroup <group>` will remove this user from this group
`-addmgroup <group>` will add this user as manager of that group
`-delmgroup <group>` will remove this user as manager of that group

Server configuration

To load these commands the following line has to be in your config file:
[UTelAdSE.UTelAdSE]
TelnetHelperClasses=class'UTelAdSE.ServerBuiltins'
/map <restart|next|URL>  
This will change the map, when you use `restart` it will restart the current map. When you used `next` it will load the next map up for rotation URL is a level URL as you can use when you start your server with UCC, for example:
/map dm-trainingday?gametype=xgame.deathmatch?mutator=xgame.instagib
/mutator <list> | <show> mutator | <add|del> mutator ...  
list
will display all available mutators on the server
show mutator
will display some information about that mutator
<add|del> mutator ...
will add or remove the mutators to/from the game you have to restart the map, or load the next map for these changes to take effect. The value `mutator` must be the full class name as returned by list. You could also use only the class name or human readable name but this can result in the loading of the wrong mutator.
/kick <list> | [ban|session] [-force] <names|ids> ...  
list
will display all players on the server (including spectators and bots)
[ban|session] [-force] <names|ids> ...
these players will be kicked/banned from the server, names can be a mask like: `Clan*` or `*Clan` or `*Clan*` ids are returned by the `list` command, be carefull with id 0, this can also kick some spectators you don't want to.
To ban a player for ever from the server you must specify `ban` as the first argument, example:
/kick ban El_Muerte
When you use `session` instead of `ban` the user will only be kicked for this match.
In order to kick/ban a user logged in as Admin you can use the `-force` argument, this will first log them out as admin and then kick/ban them
/bots <add|kill|set>  
add <number|names ...>
This will add `number` bots, or bot whose name matches one of the `names` masks
kill <number|names ...>
This will remove bots from the server
set <number>
This will set the minplayer value to `number`
/maplist <used|list> [-gametype] | <add|del> [-gametype] mapname ... | <move> [-gametype] from to  
Use `-gametype` (as second argument) to edit/view the maplist of that gametype, `gametype` can be the gametype acronym (DM, CTF, DOM2, ...) or the class name as you would use on the command line. For example: -CTF or -XGame.xCTFGame
used

list

<add|del> mapname ...
will add/remove the maps matching the mapname mask The mask can be "*map", "map*" or "*map*"
move <from> <to>
