Commander Battles 1.7

Based on CoreDumper's original mod, Commander Battles features Holdfast's officer line controls, allowing your men to benefit from the full range of buffs and gameplay mechanics the line commands have to offer. Subscribe/follow to get updates!


» » How to Play « «

- In case you don't have it like this, make sure the Player Information card set to be in the top right or bottom right (from the Game Settings). This is to ensure you see the extra line orders bar.
- Find a 'Commander Battle' supported server (use the mod discord to join in on the fun, see the end of this page for link).
- Once in, you can use the !addBots command to spawn yourself a line (do it on even ground if possible), like so:

!addBots <Amount> [NamePrefix] [ClassName] [UniformID] (elements in [ ] brackets are optional but previous optional elements are mandatory)

Examples:
!addBots 20 (Spawns 20 line infantry bots)
!addBots 20 [AGS] (Spawns 20 line infantry bots with prefix "[AGS]" in their name)
!addBots 20 [AGS] guard (Spawns 20 guard bots with prefix "[AGS]" in their name)
!addBots 20 [AGS] Guard 1 (Spawns 20 Guard bots with uniform id 1 and prefixed by the "[AGS]" tag)

All possible [className] values can be found here: https://wiki.holdfastgame.com/Server_Configuration_Enums#Class

» » Orders Available « «

● Form up Line (Keyboard shortcut Q then 1)

This will form your men into a line facing forward.

● Aim (Keyboard shortcut Q then 2)

Tell your line to aim in the direction you are aiming at the time the command is issued. Note: Aiming at a ground point will make your line aim straight at that point, while if you aim in the air (for long-range shot calls for example), your men will mirror your aim direction and pitch. Take that into account when engaging at long distances!

● Fire (Keyboard shortcut Q then 3)

Your line will fire their muskets and be reloading.

● Charge(Keyboard shortcut Q then 6)

Orders your line to charge at the enemy line or commander that you are directly looking at.

● Toggle Double Rank (Alt+2 or Keyboard shortcut N)

Next time your line forms or follows you, it will form into a single/double rank.

● Break Line (Keyboard shortcut Q then 7)

Orders your men to stop aiming (if they are), and removes the officer line.

● Follow Commander (Alt+1 or Keyboard shortcut B)

Orders your line to follow you. Starting from the closest end of the line, your men will proceed to follow you on the battlefield in a single line. If the man in front reaches the Commander's position, the entire line will stop, forming a column behind the Commander.

● Crouch Line (Alt+3)

Orders your line to crouch or stand up.

● Toggle Bayonets for Line (Alt+4)

Orders your line to remove or re-attach their bayonets.

● Toggle Walk/Run for Line (Alt+5)

Orders your line to switch to walking or running.

Latest Patch Notes:

Version 1.7
- Added the first musician, the drummer!
- The drummer now spawns automatically for lines of 20 or more. They will follow the line next to the flag bearer, and will automatically provide buffs for the line when firing.
- Adjusted order panel location for the new Holdfast update.
- In case you don't have it like this, make sure the Player Information card set to be in the top right or bottom right (from the Game Settings). This is to ensure you see the extra line orders bar.
