Visor - Match data & staff tools

Visor

Lightweight, server-side staff tools for Squad. Visor exports live match data for your staff panel, Discord bots or web tools, and adds safe admin workflows. It does not change gameplay by default. Version 1.0.0.

For server owners

• Live match data every second: layer, map corners, teams and tickets, players (ids, name, state, role, squad), squads, vehicles, FOBs/HABs and other deployables, objectives, commander.
• Events with attacker: kills, wounds, revives, deployables built and destroyed, vehicles destroyed, squads created, team changes.
• Scores (live and per match) and a game data dump of layers.
• Staff actions through a file console, with a full audit trail: warn, kick, ban, move team, remove from squad, demote commander, disband squad, broadcast, next layer, end match, reload config.
• Deployable limiter and team-change alerts (in the companion). Alerts only, never automatic bans.
• Chat commands for players: !admin, !report, !rules and !lang (in the companion, over RCON).
• Optional and off by default: name prefixes from PlayerPrefixes.cfg, a text banner above the scoreboard, and an in-game admin menu (Insert key) for the ids in ManagerList.cfg and roles.cfg. Every menu request is checked again on the server.
• Every feature is configured with plain text files in SquadGame/Saved/Visor/. Visor.cfg is created with commented defaults and reloads without a restart.
• Works on Windows and Linux servers. No external validation, no ads, no hidden features.

Activation

1. Add this line at the top of SquadGame/ServerConfig/LayerRotation.cfg:

Visor_Init[/code]
2. In SquadGame/ServerConfig/Server.cfg set:
[code]RandomizeAtStart=false

3. Use [code]MapRotationMode=LayerList[/code]. With LayerList_Vote the server does not start on the first layer of the rotation: in that case run [code]AdminChangeLayer Visor_Init[/code] once after each server start. The server starts on Visor_Init, a tiny empty layer. After about 10 seconds it moves to the next layer of your rotation with Visor active, and Visor stays active from then on. Without that line the mod loads but stays inactive. Do not add any Visor argument to the server start line: Squad reads the first argument as a layer name and the server will not start.

For players

Nothing changes on your screen by default. Use !admin to ask the staff for help, !report to report a player and !rules to read the server rules. In-game texts are available in 10 languages. If the server enables them, you may see name prefixes and a text banner above the scoreboard.

Known limitations of 1.0

• A layer change to a different game mode loads the layer twice.
• Track Attack is not supported. Insurgency always uses the large-map GameMode.
• Do not combine with mods that bring their own GameModes: Visor would replace them on those layers.
• Renaming a squad and ending a match with a chosen winner are not available to a mod; the companion sends them over RCON instead.
• No images from URLs (prefixes or banner): text only.
• Not yet tested with a full server (80+ players), on a Linux server or with several clients at once. Please report issues in the comments.

Privacy

Servers running Visor record player IDs (EOS/Steam), names and in-game positions for moderation. Nothing is written to your PC and nothing is sent to third parties by the mod.
