Team Fortress 2 – How to Enable Bumper Cars on Any Map

The server alias syntax is the same as on the client side. You can place aliases inside server.cfg or choose to separate them into their own file for the sake of neatness.

server.cfg

exec aliases.cfg

aliases.cfg

alias "meleeon" "sm_cvar sm_meleemode_enabled 1;sm_cvar example 0"
alias "meleeoff" "sm_cvar sm_meleemode_enabled 0;sm_cvar example 1"

You should also be able to change the default values of cvars registered in SourceMod plugins or have them vary by map. Just ask if that interests you.

Here is an instruction on how to create a server and put bots on it:

1. Make sure you have the port 27015 accessible for connections.
   ^{How? Look here.}
2. Open the game console.
   ^{How? Options⇨Keyboard⇨Advanced...⇨Enable developer console. Press ~ / ` to open the console at any time.}
3. Type sv_lan 0 if you want the game to be public, or sv_lan 1 for LAN only.
   ^{Public server is recommended}
4. Type map <mapname>, replacing <mapname> with the name of the map you want to play.
   ^{Or press the [+] to the right of BROWSE SERVERS in main menu instead.}
5. If the server is public and you don't want anyone to intrude, you can set a password:
   Type sv_password <pass>, replacing <pass> with some simple password.
   _{(e.g. sv_password 1234)}
6. Set the bot difficulty: tf_bot_difficulty <x>, where <x> is from 0 (the easiest) to 3.
   ^{(e.g. tf_bot_difficulty 0)}
7. Add bots: tf_bot_add <team> <class>
   <team>: red | blue
   <class>: scout | soldier | pyro | demoman | heavyweapons | engineer | medic | sniper | spy
   ^{(e.g. tf_bot_add blue heavyweapons)}
   To remove all bots: tf_bot_kick all

Here are some ways for your friend to connect. If one fails, try the next one.

• Join the game via Steam.
  ^{In Steam Friends list press ▼ and Join Game.}
• In console: connect <ip>:27015, where <ip> is your (server's) IP address.
  ^{(e.g. connect 11.22.33.44:27015)}
• Try the same thing with your (server's) local IP address (find it in Windows/Linux)

If nothing works, see the step 1 of server creation instruction.
