Helpful Commands

Commands are split into two types: client commands and server commands. Client commands are commands which are executed by the client and do not affect the Archipelago remote session. Server commands are commands which are executed by the Archipelago server and affect the Archipelago session or otherwise provide feedback from the server.

In clients which have their own commands the commands are typically prepended by a forward slash:/. Remote commands are always submitted to the server prepended with an exclamation point: !.

Local Commands

The following list is a list of client commands which may be available to you through your Archipelago client. You execute these commands in your client window.

The following commands are available in these clients: SNIClient, FactorioClient, FF1Client.

SNIClient Only

The following command is only available when using the SNIClient for SNES based games.

Remote Commands

Remote commands may be executed by any client which allows for sending text chat to the Archipelago server. If your client does not allow for sending chat then you may connect to your game slot with the TextClient which comes with the Archipelago installation. In order to execute the command you need to merely send a text message with the command, including the exclamation point.
