How to Kick and Ban Players on Your No More Room in Hell Server

Kick and ban players on a No More Room in Hell server

4 min read

You can remove players either through the server console in the dashboard or – if SourceMod is installed – directly in the game through the SourceMod commands. On top of that No More Room in Hell ships its own VoteKick and VoteBan system, which lets players react even when no admin is on the server.

List the players

  1. Open the server console
    Open the console of your server via the dashboard.

  2. Show the player list
    Enter the following command:

    status
    

    The output shows the userid and the SteamID for every connected player. You need these values for the commands below.

Commands in the server console

Command Description
status Show server and player information including userid and SteamID
kick <player name> Remove a player from the server immediately
banid <minutes> <SteamID> [kick] Ban a player (0 = permanent), kick also removes them right away
writeid Save SteamID bans permanently
writeip Save IP bans permanently
changelevel <map name> Change the map without disconnecting players
map <map name> Force a map – this kicks every player from the server

Kick a player

kick <player name>

A kicked player is removed from the server immediately but can rejoin right away.

Ban a player

banid 60 STEAM_0:1:12345678 kick

The duration in minutes goes in front of the SteamID, 0 bans permanently. Without the kick argument the player stays on the server for now and the ban only takes effect on the next connection attempt.

Save bans permanently

Commands through SourceMod

With SourceMod installed you can manage players directly from within the game. How to set up SourceMod and give yourself admin rights is described under Add Mods and Add Admin.

Command Syntax Required flag
sm_kick <#userid|name> [reason] c (kick)
sm_ban <#userid|name> <minutes|0> [reason] d (ban)
sm_banip <ip|#userid|name> <time> [reason] d (ban)
sm_addban <time> <steamid> [reason] m (rcon)
sm_unban <steamid|ip> e (unban)
sm_who [#userid|name] b (generic)
sm_map <map> g (changemap)

Examples

sm_kick "player name" Rule violation
sm_ban #12 60 Rule violation
sm_addban 0 STEAM_0:1:12345678 Rule violation

Lift a ban

sm_unban STEAM_0:1:12345678
sm_unban 123.45.67.89

VoteKick and VoteBan

No More Room in Hell comes with its own voting system. It lets players remove abusive or team-killing players without an admin being present.

How players vote

  1. Show the player list
    A player enters the following command in the chat:

    !vklist
    

    A numbered list of all players on the server is displayed.

  2. Start the vote
    The vote is started with the number from that list:

    !vk 3
    

    !vk starts a votekick, !vb starts a voteban.

  3. Agree to the vote
    The other players agree in the chat with the following command:

    !yes
    

Configure the voting

Add the settings via SFTP to the following file:

/nmrih/cfg/server.cfg
Setting Default Meaning
sv_votekick_timer 10 Duration of a vote in seconds
sv_votekick_required_pct 0.5 Share of players that has to agree to a votekick
sv_voteban_required_pct 0.65 Share of players that has to agree to a voteban
sv_voteban_banlength 30 Duration of a voteban in minutes

Example:

sv_votekick_timer 10
sv_votekick_required_pct 0.5
sv_voteban_required_pct 0.65
sv_voteban_banlength 30
