Introduction

With the right configuration, you can turn your Chivalry 2 game server into exactly the server you have in mind: set the player count, create your own map rotation, set class limits and match lengths, and build your own admin team. In this guide, we’ll show you which settings are available on unofficial Chivalry 2 servers and how to control your server in-game as an admin.

Available settings

According to Torn Banner, you can customize the following settings on an unofficial Chivalry 2 server:

SettingDescription
Player countHow many players can play on your server at the same time; see the recommendations below
Map list and rotationWhich maps are played and in what order
Admin listAdd multiple trusted admins to your server
Ban listPlayers who are no longer allowed to join your server
PasswordOptional password for a private server
Class and subclass limitsHow many players can use a class or subclass at the same time
Match and phase lengthThe duration of a match or phase
Score limitThe score required to win in Team Deathmatch and Free For All
Warm-up timeThe length of the warm-up phase
HorsesAllow or disable horses on all maps that feature them
Vote kickSettings for votes to kick players
Out-of-combat zonesEnable or disable zones outside the combat area
Camera modeFirst person, third person, or player’s choice

After making a change, restart your server to apply it.

Game modeRecommended player count
Team Objective, Team Deathmatch2 to 64 players (2 to 52 with horses)
Last Team Standing2 to 64 players
Free For All, Brawl, Last Peasant Standing, Volley2 to 40 players
Warning

You can exceed the recommended player count, but according to Torn Banner, this may cause issues, such as players failing to spawn or being disconnected from the game. Full servers with 64 players also experience a significant increase in load.

Each game mode has its own maps. Arena maps are not supported on unofficial servers.

In-game admin commands

As an admin, you can control your server through the in-game console. Admin commands only work on PC because they require the game’s console.

  1. Enable the console in Chivalry 2 under Settings > Options > Game > General.
  2. Open the in-game console by pressing ~.
  3. Enter ListPlayers to view the player list and player IDs.

Admins can use the following commands:

CommandEffect
KickByIdKick a player by ID
BanByIdBan a player by ID
UnbanByIdRemove a player’s ban
adminsaySend a message to all players as an admin
serversaySend a message to all players as the server
ADDBOTS / REMOVEBOTSAdd or remove bots
TBSManuallyStartGameStart a match manually
Info

Bans on your server only apply to your server. You can remove them at any time. Players cannot see your ban list.
