Commands

Players type chat commands with a dot, for example .ready. Most also work with ! (!ready) and as a console command with css_ (css_ready).

With Auto Tournament, admins usually control matches from the web app. See Running matches. The chat commands below still work on the server.

Practice mode has more commands for grenades, bots and spawns, for example .bot, .savenade <name>, .loadnade <name>, .rethrow, .showspawns and .noflash. They work as in MatchZy.

Console and RCON commands

Run these in the server console, or over RCON. They do not need a player.

Matches

Command	What it does
`matchzy_loadmatch_url "<url>" ["<header>" "<value>"]`	Download and load a match config. The optional header is sent with the request.
`matchzy match load "<url>"`	The same as `matchzy_loadmatch_url`.
`matchzy_loadmatch <file>`	Load a match config from a file, relative to `csgo/`.
`matchzy_clear_queued_match`	Drop a match that waits for the current series to reset.
`matchzy_addplayer <steam64> <team1\|team2\|spec> "<name>"`	Add a player to the loaded match.
`matchzy_removeplayer <steam64>`	Remove a player from all teams.
`css_restart`, `css_endmatch`	Restart or end the match, as the chat commands.

If you load a match while the last series is still in postgame, it does not load right away. It waits until the series resets. The reply ends with queued_match=<id>. A new load replaces a waiting one. css_restart and css_endmatch drop it.

Status and reports

Command	What it does
`matchzy_version`	Show the plugin version.
`matchzy_match_report`	Build the match report as JSON and push it to the report URL. If there is no report URL, it prints the JSON.

`matchzy_get_pending_events`	Show how many events wait in the retry queue.
`matchzy_clear_event_queue`	Delete all waiting and failed events from the retry queue.
`matchzy_check_for_updates`	Ask Steam if this CS2 server is up to date.

Backups

`matchzy_listbackups <matchId>`	List round backups of a match.

All settings on the Configuration page are console commands too. Run them with a value to change a setting on a running server.

The plugin also accepts the Get5 names of some commands (get5_loadmatch_url, get5_remote_log_url and others), for tools made for Get5.
