Administration (GM / Admin)

This page describes the game master (GM) commands the client can send, and how to use them.

ArchCore status: the server handles chat, sends the GM level to the client and runs the commands marked ✅ in the list (see section 3). The others answer "Unknown command": they wait for the matching game systems, missing from ArchCore (see the end of section 4). Progress is tracked on the Roadmap page.

GM panel. With the ArchRust client, the ArchCoreAdmin add-on offers a button for each of these commands and reads the server replies back.

1. Give GM rights to an account

The GM level is stored in the gm_level column of the archcore_auth.account table. A value of 0 is a regular player. The higher the number, the more rights the account has.

Create a GM account, or change the level of an existing one:

archcore db-init --account <username> <password> <level>
# example: archcore db-init --account admin StrongPassword 3

Or directly in SQL:

UPDATE archcore_auth.account SET gm_level = 3 WHERE username = 'admin';

The account must log in again for the change to apply. The server decides whether a command is allowed for that level: the client only sends it. A level 0 player who types a GM command gets no answer (the chat prefixes "/p", "/g", "/s", "/race", "/scream" and "/warn" are read before commands).

2. Two ways to send a command

Through the chat window

Every command is typed in the chat, starting with a slash /, then confirmed with Enter:

/kill "PlayerName"
/chatban "PlayerName" 30
/SetExp 2.0

• Names go between double quotes, which allows spaces.
• Numbers are written without quotes; decimals use a dot (1.5).
• Command names are case-sensitive: SetExp, but chatban.

Through the "Admin Commands" panel

The client contains an "Admin Commands" graphical panel. It shows the character's GM level ("Your admin level") and groups the commands in tabs: rates, moderation, events, arena, items and characters, world, region, system. Each button types the matching command into the chat for you, so the result is the same as typing it by hand.

The panel reads the GM level sent by the server. ArchCore sends it on world entry (AgpmAdmin packet, type 0x12) for accounts whose gm_level is above 0. The client also reads an admin launch argument; its exact effect is not confirmed yet.

Server replies (a rate's value, a syntax error, missing rights…) show up in the chat as system messages. ArchCore's replies are in French.

3. Commands handled by ArchCore

Command	GM level	What ArchCore does
/GetExp, /GetGold, /GetDrop, /GetUniqueDrop, /GetCharisma, /GetPrestigeRate, /GetChatBuff	1	Shows the rate's value
/SetExp, /SetGold, /SetDrop, /SetUniqueDrop, /SetCharisma, /SetPrestigeRate <x>	3	Changes the rate (0 to 100)
/SetChatBuff <0|1>	3	Turns the chat bonus on or off
/chatban "name" <minutes>	1	The player can no longer talk; 0 lifts the mute. The player is told
/kill ["name"]	2	Sets the character's HP to 0; without a name, on yourself. Online characters only
/invincible [0|1]	2	Monsters no longer wound you (1, the default) or do again (0)
/speed <1-10>	2	Multiplies the GM's movement speed (walk and run); 1 restores it. Kept when equipment or effects change, forgotten on logout. ArchCore-specific command
/rename_char "old" "new"	2	Renames in the database (2 to 24 characters, no space). An online player sees the new name on next login
/additem <TID> [count]	3	Shortcut for /create on yourself: adds the item (1 by default, up to 9999) to the GM's inventory, tradable. ArchCore-specific command
/simloot <monster TID> <count> [drop rate] [gold rate]	2	Simulates the loot of count monsters of this template (1 to 10,000): each death rolls the loot exactly as when a real monster dies (gold, drop groups, monster-specific items), without creating anything or dropping it on the ground. Server rates (/GetDrop, /GetGold) unless given (0 to 100); monster level: that of a monster of this template present in the world, otherwise the template's; the GM character's level stands for the killer's level. Reply: a header (monsters, rates, gold, number of items and kinds), then one line · count × name (TID n) per item, most frequent first (40 at most, then a summary line). The replies are in French, like every GM reply. ArchCore-specific command
/weather [clear|rain|snow]	2	Weather for every player in game (rain, snow, clear); without an argument, the weather and the game hour. ArchCore-specific command
/title ["name"]	1	Titles of a player in the world (oneself without a name): active title, charisma and its rank (charisma_title), titles owned, goals and their conditions' values. The replies are in French, like every GM reply. ArchCore-specific command
/shrine [open| /siege [start	end	owner <guild
close ]`	3	Without an argument, the Shrines' state; open opens Shrine n's battle without waiting for its schedule, close ends it with no winner. ArchCore-specific command
✅ `/siege [start	end	owner
/tax [pay [castle]]	3	Without an argument, rates and income of each castle's regions; pay pays a castle's (or every castle's) income at once to the owning guild's master, minus the ArchLord's tribute. ArchCore-specific command
/archlord [set <name> | clear]	3	Sets the ArchLord (ops 0 and 1 to everyone) or removes him; without an argument, the ArchLord's name. The ArchLord's /archlord <message>: message to the whole server. /archlordbegin, /archlordend (Rensphere war), /nextstep, /archlordactivate <name>, /archlorddeactivate, /castleowner <castle> <guild>, /deletecastleowner <castle>: Archonia commands (sysstr 622 to 629, 636, 657, 658)
/durability <value|-1>	3	Sets the durability of the worn equipment that wears out (-1: full, 0: broken); to try wear and repair. ArchCore-specific command
/create "name" <TID> <count> <0|1>	3	Adds the item to character_items, in the first free inventory slot. An online player gets it at once; the character can also be offline
/questreset <TID>	3	Clears quest TID (in progress or completed) from the GM's journal; visible on next login. ArchCore-specific command
/recast	3	Resets the GM's skill recast delays on the server side (the client may still show its own). ArchCore-specific command
/last_refine	3	Runs again the last recipe refined successfully since login (the panel's "Use last refine recipe"), like the client's op 6: ingredients taken from the inventory, gold paid, result in the refining window. Refused without a successful refine
/level <level> ["name"]	3	Sets the online character's level (1 to 120): experience reset, HP and MP restored, skill points recomputed; without a name, on yourself. ArchCore-specific command
/money <amount> ["name"]	3	Sets the online character's gold (0 to 1,000,000,000); without a name, on yourself. ArchCore-specific command
/charisma <points> ["name"]	3	Gives charisma points to the online character (1 to 1,000,000, multiplied by the Rate.Charisma rate and the charisma bonuses of its effects, except the boss one); without a name, to yourself. ArchCore-specific command (Archonia has none), until player-versus-player fights exist
/announce_restart <minutes> <seconds>	3	Announces to every player, reminds every minute, counts down the last seconds. 0 0 cancels
/move x,z ["name"]	1	Teleports the GM to (x, z) and sends the NPCs of the new spot; with a name (level 2), another online player: this is how a player is placed elsewhere, since the server refuses that a client teleports itself (anti-cheat)
/anomalies "name"	1	Anomalies found by the anti-cheat for this character: count in the database and in the current window, last ten (see section 5). ArchCore command

The required level can be changed per command in config/world.conf (see Configuration):

Rate.Exp = 2
Rate.Drop = 1.5
GM.CommandLevel.kill = 3
GM.CommandLevel.move = 2
World.ExitOnRestart = 0

• Rate.*: rates at startup (Exp, Gold, Drop, UniqueDrop, Charisma, Prestige, ChatBuff). The Set… commands change them in memory: on restart they go back to these values.
• World.ExitOnRestart: with 1, the server stops at the end of the /announce_restart countdown so that a supervisor can restart it. By default it only announces.

Current limits:

• Experience, gold and loot rates apply; unique loot, charisma, prestige and the chat bonus are kept but have no effect, the matching systems being absent.
• Chat mutes are kept in memory and are lost on restart.
• With /create, the last number ("untradable") is not stored yet.
• To check with the real client: the /kill death animation. After /move, the GM is put at ground height (map_height); outside the height map, they keep their altitude.
• The client itself sends /move when a waypoint number is typed in the chat.

Commands without a system in ArchCore

Archonia's "Admin Commands" panel only builds these commands; the server decides what they do. They stay without effect ("Unknown command") as long as the system they drive does not exist:

/refresh_lua_scripts, /reload_ip_players, /log_activity, /test	LUA scripts, IP address list, activity log and test command of the original server

5. Anti-cheat

ArchCore does not take the client at its word, without punishing an honest player for lag; there is no client-side check. AntiCheat.* settings: see Configuration.

• Movement. The original client only sends its destination and the server walks the player itself, at its speed: a local speedhack changes nothing. A position supplied by the client (field 1 of packet 0x40: simulator, modified client) is checked against a distance credit: current run speed (mount, buffs, /speed) × AntiCheat.SpeedTolerance, plus the AntiCheat.MoveSlack margin, with up to 5 s of running stored for delayed packets. Beyond it, the server keeps the last valid position and sends it back to the client as a teleport; anomaly vitesse (speed), or téléportation (teleport) for a jump impossible even with a full credit. Portals, scrolls, /move, resurrections, sieges, Shrines, Battle Square, entering the world and reconnection restart from the position set by the server. GMs are not checked.
• Normal hits. The server deals hits at the attack speed; a new target or resuming after a move no longer brings the next hit forward beyond AntiCheat.AttackTolerance. The early hit is delayed; three early requests before the next hit make a cadence anomaly.
• Packets. Beyond AntiCheat.MaxPacketsPerSecond (burst AntiCheat.PacketBurst), a connection's packets are ignored; a lasting flood closes the connection (anomaly inondation, the character leaves the world without waiting for a reconnection), whatever the settings.
• Sanctions. Each anomaly goes to the server log ([anti-triche]) and to the log_anomaly table of the log database (at most 20 rows per minute and per character). With AntiCheat.Action = kick or ban, AntiCheat.Threshold anomalies within AntiCheat.WindowMinutes minutes disconnect the player, or ban the account (account_banned, author anti-triche, AntiCheat.BanHours hours). Default: journal only.
• Review. /anomalies "name": number of anomalies in the database and in the current window, then the last ten (date, type, detail, sanction).

6. SOAP interface (AzerothCore and TrinityCore tools)

The world server can receive administration commands over SOAP, with the same protocol as AzerothCore and TrinityCore: their web panels, Discord bots and scripts (PHP SoapClient, Python acore-soap, cURL…) work unchanged. Method executeCommand, element command, any namespace (urn:AC, urn:TC, urn:ArchCore…), HTTP Basic authentication with a game account.

Enabling

In config/world.conf (or through environment variables, see Configuration):

SOAP.Enabled = 1
SOAP.IP = "127.0.0.1"
SOAP.Port = 7878
SOAP.MinGmLevel = 3

When the world starts, the log shows [soap] en écoute sur http://127.0.0.1:7878. The account that connects needs a GM level of at least SOAP.MinGmLevel (account.gm_level, see section 1); each command also requires its own level, exactly as in game.

Security

• Credentials travel in clear text (HTTP Basic, no encryption). Keep SOAP.IP = "127.0.0.1", or open the port only behind a firewall, a private network or an SSH tunnel (ssh -L 7878:127.0.0.1:7878 server). Never open 7878 to the Internet.
• Use an account dedicated to the tool, with a strong password and only the GM level it needs.
• One request per connection, 64 KB body at most, 10 s to send it. Each command is written to the server log ([soap] account (IP, MJ n) : command, then the result) and to the log_gm table of the logs database (character 0, name SOAP <IP address>); passwords of account create and account set password are replaced by *** there.

Responses

Case	HTTP	Body
Command succeeded	200	<ns1:executeCommandResponse><result>…</result>; each line ends with &#xD; + line feed, like the AzerothCore console
Command refused or failed (syntax, rights, unknown command, empty)	500	SOAP-ENV:Fault, faultcode SOAP-ENV:Client, faultstring and detail = message
Missing or wrong credentials, unknown or banned account	401	Fault HTTP Error: 401 Unauthorized (+ WWW-Authenticate: Basic)
GM level below SOAP.MinGmLevel	403	Fault HTTP Error: 403 Forbidden

ns1 echoes the request namespace, and so do xsi and xsd (1999 by default, like gSOAP).

Example with curl

curl -s -u admin:Password -H "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" http://127.0.0.1:7878/ \
  -d '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="urn:AC"><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:executeCommand><command>server info</command></ns1:executeCommand></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>'

In Windows PowerShell, call curl.exe (not the curl alias) and put the envelope in a file (--data-binary "@request.xml") to avoid quoting issues. Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns1="urn:AC"><SOAP-ENV:Body SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><ns1:executeCommandResponse><result>ArchCore rev. 0.2.0 (windows, Release)&#xD;
Connected players: 1. Characters in world: 1.&#xD;
Connection peak: 2.&#xD;
Server uptime: 1 Hour(s) 5 Minute(s) 12 Second(s)&#xD;
</result></ns1:executeCommandResponse></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Commands

A command is written with or without a leading . or /, case-insensitive. The AzerothCore management commands reply with their original English texts, which tools parse:

Command	Level	Effect
account create <account> <password> [email]	3	Creates an account (letters, digits, _ - ., 32 characters at most; password of 64 at most). The email is accepted and ignored. Reply Account created: <account>
account set password <account> <pwd> [<pwd>]	3	Changes the password (the second one, if given, must match). Reply The password was changed
account set gmlevel <account> <level> [realm]	3	GM level of the account (never above your own; the realm, -1 in AzerothCore, is ignored). A player in game gets it at once
account onlinelist	1	Table of online players: account, character, IP, level, GM level (Empty list when nobody)
ban account <account> <duration> [reason]	3	Bans the account (account_banned, author SOAP <account>) and disconnects its characters. Duration: 1d2h30m10s, a number of seconds, -1 or 0 for no end
unban account <account>	3	Lifts the current bans
kick <character> [reason]	2	Disconnects a player in game, without waiting for a reconnection. Reply Player <name> kicked.
announce <text> / notify <text>	2	Announcement to every player in game (no output, like AzerothCore)
server info	1	Version, Connected players: n. Characters in world: n., connection peak, uptime
server shutdown <delay>|cancel, server restart <delay>|cancel	3	/announce_restart countdown (delay in seconds or 1h30m); the server only stops at the end with World.ExitOnRestart = 1
commands / help	0	Commands allowed to the account

Any other command goes through the in-game GM command interpreter (sections 3 and 4), without the /: SetExp 2, GetExp, chatban "Name" 10, money 1000 "Name", move -479091,-66202 "Name", announce_restart 5, siege, simloot 450 100… Those acting on the GM's own character (speed, additem, invincible, durability, recast, questreset, last_refine, and kill, level, money, charisma, move without a character name) reply with a "commande réservée au jeu" Fault. Levels are changed with GM.CommandLevel.<command>; for a console command, words separated by dots: GM.CommandLevel.account.create = 3.

Commands run under the world lock, like a player packet: they do not hold the game loop longer than a command typed in game. A started command runs to its end even if the client disconnects.

7. Good practice

• Keep GM accounts separate from play accounts, with a strong password.
• Try a command on a test character before using it on a player.
• Character names must be exact, accents included.
