This guide covers admin commands, server configuration, and troubleshooting for your R5Reloaded (modded Apex Legends) server. For initial setup, see R5Reloaded Server Setup Guide.
1. Console Commands
R5Reloaded uses Source Engine-style console commands. These can be entered via the GPanel console or the in-game console:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
status |
Show all connected players and server info. |
kick <name/id> |
Kick a player by name or ID. |
ban <name/id> |
Ban a player from the server. |
unban <name/id> |
Remove a player ban. |
changelevel <map> |
Change to a different map. |
launchplaylist <playlist> |
Switch to a different game mode playlist. |
sv_maxplayers <num> |
Set the maximum number of players. |
hostname <name> |
Change the server name. |
say <message> |
Broadcast a message to all players. |
map_restart |
Restart the current map. |
2. Additional Startup Arguments
Use the ARGS startup variable to pass additional flags. Common arguments:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
+sv_maxplayers <num> |
Set max player count. |
+sv_password "<pass>" |
Set a server password. |
+map <mapname> |
Set the starting map. |
Example ARGS value:
+sv_maxplayers 32 +sv_password "mypassword"3. Maps
R5Reloaded includes various Apex Legends maps. Available maps depend on the server build version. Common map names include Kings Canyon, World's Edge, and Olympus variants. Use changelevel to switch maps during gameplay.
4. Wine Considerations
R5Reloaded runs through Wine on the Linux server. This is configured automatically, but be aware of the following:
- Wine debug output is suppressed by default (
WINEDEBUG=-all) to reduce console noise. - First startup may take longer as Wine initializes its prefix.
- If the server crashes on startup, try restarting once -- Wine initialization issues are usually resolved on the second attempt.
5. Troubleshooting
- Server not starting: Check the GPanel console for Wine-related errors. Restart the server once if it fails on first boot.
- Players cannot connect: Ensure players are using the R5Reloaded client (not the standard Apex Legends client). Verify the IP and port.
- Playlist not loading: Verify the
PLAYLISTvalue is valid. Check the R5Reloaded documentation for supported playlists in your version. - High memory usage: R5Reloaded can be resource-intensive. Consider reducing max players if performance is an issue.
