Garry's Mod Server Commands for the Console

You run Garry’s Mod server commands in the Console of the FREAKHOSTING Game Panel: type the command without a slash and press Enter, for example changelevel gm_construct or status. Typing a setting’s name, such as sbox_maxprops, shows its value and default. Commands typed in the console last until the next restart; to keep a setting, save it on Game settings or in server.cfg.

Frequently asked questions

​

How do I change map on my GMod server?

Type changelevel <mapname> in the console, without .bsp. To change the map the server starts on, set Start map on Game settings.

​

Why does my setting reset after a restart?

Console changes are temporary. The server loads server.cfg and Game settings values at every start. Save the setting there.

​

Do I need an RCON password?

Not for the panel console. You only need RCON password (on Game settings) if you use an external RCON tool. Use a long password; anyone with it controls the server.

​

Can players run these commands?

Server settings are changed from the server console. To give trusted players commands in game, install an admin mod such as ULX and add them to a group.
