Well... with the exception of the designator, we don't have airstrikes, nukes, or any other massive destruction device in Metallic. The mod is designed for constructing. You can add in whatever weapons you feel like yourself of course.
If you want to use the ion cannon target designator on your server, you can use:
//givegun designator chief
You can't get the Viper in the version you have though, that's something I just put together yesterday, and it's not very finished.
Here's a little list of most of the chat commands we've got in 1.4b.
Sorry about the formatting.
Metallic 1.4 Beta - Chat Commands
Some of these have been replaced or are used differently in 1.5. Also note that you don't need [] around your entry.

Any chance that there's a command to adjust the amount of rotation? Like maybe 1-5 degrees? I'm having issues figuring out the best way to use the advanced rotate.
Isn't there a //ConRotAm (control rotation amount)? Or am I thinking of a different version?
The way it's currently set up in constructiontool.cs, it only allows for multples of 5, but it shouldn't be too hard to change if it was really needed.
The normal rotate itself is pretty much one setting. :x
Next question... (sorry bro,)
How can I change the lighting on a particular map? I've looked all over but I'm probably overlooking the default setting. The map I like (riverdanceV2 I think...) is too dark & cloudy. I used the "relight mission" but that just resets the timer to morning... or... whatever time it starts. lol
Also...(hope you're not getting sick of me yet ,) vehicles and deployable vehicle pads seem to be disabled on the riverdance map. They are enabled in the lobby-admin commands but when I try to deploy a pad it says "disabled" or some such thing.
Is there a chat or console command to fix this or perhaps somewhere in the map file?
I tried to open the riverdance VL2 file in notepad but it's all jibberish.
Sorry to bug you so much Krash but... you da man! :cool:
.vl2 files are basically .zip archives with a renamed extension. Call it a zip and it should open fine.
Once you've got it extacted, find "RiverdanceV2.mis" in the missions folder and open it up with notepad...
Scroll down to where you see 'new Sun() {'. Under this will be the properties of the sun; the ones you'll want to be changing are 'color' and 'ambient', play around with them a bit until they look good.
As for the cloudy skies, those are defined in the 'new Sky' section. If you know a map with a sky you like already, you can copy it out of that map and just replace the whole thing. Be careful not to leave out any closing bits or anything though.
For the vehicles, don't think the map disables them, are you sure you haven't got the vehicles disabled in the lobby menu?
I'd be a whiny puddle of mush without you.
The lobby menu has the option to disable vehicles... which says to me that they're enabled.
I'll try again and diable & re-enable them. I'll let you know.
Thanks a megaton!
By the way Krash, were the forums down for like 2 days?
