first, you need to have tjw's server installed properly (or any of the svn-based servers, pretty much anything other than the 1.1.0 binary and game.qvm), then you edit admin.dat to include those commands (here's an example)

[command]
command = spam
exec = cp This is an annoying [command] block
description = spam the server
levels = 4 5

It has been my experience that command blocks are buggy at best, and can mess up the server.

[Undeference]

Really? That's not been my experience.

[Paradox]

Well, you cant enter them below a ban block, and sometimes they just dissapear.

[Superpie]

They disappear only because you have the server running at the same time that you edit it.
What does desc do?

What does desc do?

It's in the output of !help mycustomcommand, if I remember correctly.

Well, they work flawlessly for me, Put them at the END of your admin.dat

Examples:

[command]
command = pmoff
exec    = set g_privatemessages 0;cp ^1Private Messages Disabled
desc    = Turns Off Private Messages
levels  = 6 7

[command]
command = pmon
exec    = set g_privatemessages 1;cp ^1Private Messages Enabled
desc    = Turns On Private Messages
levels  = 6 7

Turns Private Messages On and Off

[command]
command = lockserver
exec    = set g_needpass 1;set g_password ****;cp ^1Server Locked.
desc    = Puts a password on the server
levels  = 6 7

[command]
command = unlockserver
exec    = set g_needpass 0;exec nopass.cfg;cp ^1Server UnLocked.
desc    = Removes server password
levels  = 6 7

Passwords And Unpasswords a Server

[Paradox]

I thought passwords were readonly, or latched.

[Superpie]

Passwords are read-only when you set them in the server.cfg, thanks for the other stuff.

I don't belive there are variables like that
