Open.mp: Open.mp Server Commands
Open.mp servers all come with a set of useful built-in server commands which can be used in-game and through your server console. In this guide, we will explore many of these commands providing descriptions and usage examples for each.
Setting up access (RCON)
In order to be able to run server commands in-game, you will have to enable the RCON feature. You will have to access your configuration config.json and adjust the necessary parameters to toggle the feature on and add a password. Please use our Open.mp Configuration guide to access your server configuration file.
Once you have the file ready, find the parameters below; toggle the feature on and set an RCON password.
| Parameter Name | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| rcon.enable | true | Toggle whether RCON feature should be enabled or disabled |
| rcon.password | ZAP-IS-AWESOME | Set a password which must be used to be able to access RCON from clients |
Ensure that you have setup an RCON Password through your configration. Otherwise, you may face issues and RCON will be accessible by anyone which is highly insecure.
After you complete your changes, make sure to save the file where appropriate and restart your server. The next time your server starts up, RCON should be now accessible and ready.
If you want to learn more about RCON, feel free to use our Open.mp RCON guide which goes into further details.
Available Commands
The table below consists of a range of important server commands for Open.mp, alongside their usage examples and descriptions, which can be used either in-game, through the server console or via an RCON program. If you wish to view all current commands, we recommend reading open.mp's controlling a server guide which presents all server comamnds that are currently available.
When running commands directly through console or via an RCON program, you do not need to use the /rcon prefix. You must only do this when running the commands in-game.
Ensure that RCON has been enabled, otherwise these commands will not work in-game or through an RCON program.
