Admin menus

The menus (.ma, .matchsetup, .nades, .strats) need the optional CS2MenuManager plugin (1.0.42+). Without it, MatchZy runs normally and the menu commands reply with a notice.

Navigate with W / S, select with E, go back with the back entry.

Permission: @css/config.

Section Entries
New Match Setup Opens the setup wizard below.
Match Control Force start, toggle knife, restart round, restore a round from a list, restart match, force end, stop match.

Modes Warmup, match, practice, exit practice, dryrun, exit dryrun.

Permission: @css/config. Builds a match config in game and loads it, the same as matchzy_loadmatch.

  1. Series: BO1, BO2, BO3 or BO5.
  2. Game mode: competitive (5v5), wingman (2v2), rush (3v3) or 1v1. See team sizes.
  3. Maps: pre-pick the maps (no veto) from matchzymaps.cfg, or veto from the full pool. Rush offers only rush maps (rush_001 when matchzymaps.cfg has none); the other modes leave rush maps out.
  4. Sides: knife round decides, or skip knife with team 1 starting CT.
  5. Confirm: review everything, set team names with .team1 <name> / .team2 <name> (the menu refreshes), then START MATCH.

The match then goes to veto or warmup like any loaded config. Rosters are not locked (anyone can join either team).

Any player in practice mode. Browse lineups for the current map by type (All, Smoke, Flash, HE, Molotov, Decoy) and select one to load it.

Any player in practice mode. Lists the saved strategies of the current map: start or stop a replay, record, replay or clear each slot, or delete the strategy. See Strategies.
