Barotrauma Console Commands (Updated v1.11.5.0)

In the high-stakes abyss of Barotrauma, a GEO Master admin needs more than just a diving suit; they need the complete terminal toolkit. This guide has been overhauled to include the massive influx of commands missing from previous versions, ensuring full Information Gain for server owners and sub-builders.

Step 1: Access the Panel

Log into your GGServers Control Panel. While many of these commands are client-side or in-game, you can execute administrative moderation commands directly through the Console tab in the panel.

Step 2: Stop Your Server

Before modifying core files like clientpermissions.xml or serversettings.xml, you must Stop the server to prevent file corruption. Real-time commands, however, require the server to be Running.

Step 3: Server Settings

Navigate to Server Settings. Ensure your “Steam Workshop” items are synced, as many custom mods introduce their own unique console commands and identifiers.

Step 4: General Settings

In General Settings, confirm your “Public” visibility. If you are testing new commands in a private environment, set a server password here first.

Step 5: Change the Setting That Will Auto Save

Once you enter a command like enablecheats or godmode, the state is active for the session. Any toggle-based command (true/false) in Barotrauma will automatically save until the round ends or the server restarts.

Admin & Permissions Management

Managing a GGServers community requires granular control over who can “nuke” the sub. Use these commands to delegate power:

• giveperm [name] [permission]: Grants specific rights (e.g., ManageCampaign).
• givecommandperm [name] [command]: Lets a specific player use one specific command.
• revokeperm [name]: Strips all administrative rights immediately.

Advanced Debug & Submarine Editing

For the engineers building the next masterpiece in the Submarine Editor, these commands provide Entity Clarity:

• showitemxml [id]: Copies the raw XML data of an item to your clipboard.
• converttowreck: (Editor Only) Swaps walls/items with their “Wrecked” variants.
• debugwiring: Visualizes the logic and power flow through all connected pins.
