MW4 Monitor Command Tutorial
On each server you will find MW4 Monitor running. Players on the server have some control as to what occurs on the server by means of this monitor. Below you will find the full list of active commands on all NBT servers.
Game chat commands: Chat commands are simply chat messages written in the public chat and starting with '-' (minus) character. Those commands are divided into Public Command, Vote Commands and Admin Commands.
Public Commands:
Public Commands are available to anyone on the server. They provide a basic informational service for the server.
- -help, -info - Displays in public chat a small, admin defined, help text.
- -hi, -hello - Makes the bot greet you.
- -tip - Prints a random, admin defined, tip. There are around a dozen or so tips. These tips also randomly appear when a player connects to a server.
- -list players - Displays a list of all players with their PlayerId. The player id is the number that comes after the players name you can use this ID to boot them if needed
- -list cycle - Displays a list of maps in the current server cycle. You must use map names exactly as listed to vote them.
- -list maps, -list missions - Displays a list of voteable missions. You must use map names exactly as listed to vote them. DON’T USE THIS unless you are SURE you need to, It will post a list of ALL maps (could list one hundred plus items). Note: This option is disabled on NBT Servers do to the size of the cycle files (Public Cycle has 1,300 entries). Please use the -list cycle command.
- -balance - Prints the teams balance as both numbers of players and tonnage. The tonnage only prints the number of players when the game is forming, when in game it prints both the number of players and the team tonnage.
- -dropdec - Prints a NBT-style drop declaration. This command only works at mission running and if typed when in game. Note: This will not work with the MekTek Beta due to MW4 DedServer limitations.
- -puretech, -mixtech - Prints definition of these server rules. Helpful reminder for when you see people using configs contrary to the server rules.
- -rats - Lists all the server rats, this command works only when the mission is running.
- -myscore - Prints a summary of kills/deaths/suicides for the player.
Vote Commands:
Vote Commands enable a limited degree of control over the server setup and players. From choosing maps to kicking players.
- -vote map "mapname", -vote mission "mapname" - Starts a vote to change map, note that the map name must be one of that listed by the "-list maps" command and enclosed in " ". The quotes can be omitted only if the map name does not contain spaces or symbols. Example: -vote map "ColiseumWNR"
- -vote stop map, -vote stop mission - This can be used while in game lobby OR after dropping onto the map. If used while playing on a map , the map stops and all players are returned to the game lobby.
- -vote start mission, -vote start map - Starts a vote to launch the currently selected map. Useful for starting a map once all players are ready, but time remains on the start timers.
- -vote kick "playername", -vote kick <playerId> - Starts a vote to kick a player (by name or by ID, the ID is the number preceding the players name). The quotes can be omitted only if the name does not contain spaces or symbols. A successful kick/vote player is kicked and temporarily banned from the server for 10 mins (600 seconds). Example –vote kick 374876
- -yes - Lets you vote yes on the running vote. Once cast a vote cannot be changed.
-no - Lets you vote no on the running vote. Once cast a vote cannot be changed.
- -vote admin "playername" - Starts a vote to make a Public Admin. The Public Admin will then have access to the Admin Commands listed below.
Admin Commands:
Admins Commands are only available to a player that has been voted in as a Public Admin (PA) in-game. Once this is done, that player will have extended control over the server settings and connected players.
- -kickrats - Posts warning message and then starts a timer, when the timer elapses all the lobby rats are kicked. This command only works if the mission is running.
- -kick "playername", -kick <playerId> - Kicks the specified player (by name or by ID). The quotes can be omitted only if the map name does not contain spaces or symbols. Note: Disabled due to abuse. Use the -vote kick “playername” command.

To choose a map, you must also enter its Play Code. Play Codes determine the base settings for the map, from Wave No Respawn and Respawn games, to Battle or Tonnage Limited games. Play Codes are different for Public and League games, and one set will not work on the other.
