---

Any chat line starting with / is executed as a client command (chat_window.cpp hands the rest of the line to NeL's ICommand::execute). Commands are registered in the client with the NLMISC_COMMAND macro — around two hundred of them, mostly in ryzom/client/src/commands.cpp, with the chat and social ones in interface_v3/people_interraction.cpp and a few scattered near the systems they operate on.

/help lists the available commands and /help <command> shows a command's usage — this is the built-in, always-up-to-date reference. It also takes wildcards: /help reload* or /help *ui searches the command list by prefix or suffix. The tables below are a curated orientation, not a replacement for it.

Availability. Three tiers:

• Player commands are compiled into every build.
• Development commands — the majority — are wrapped in #if !FINAL_VERSION and only exist in development builds. In the tables below they are marked dev.
• Admin commands are not client commands at all: /a, /b and /c forward the rest of the line to the server, which checks the account's privilege before executing. The set of admin commands is server-side (see shard commands).

Separately from all of this, AllowDebugCommands in the client configuration exposes the debug category of interface actions and macros in retail builds; it does not affect the compiled command set.

Privileges are checked server-side; without them these do nothing.

A selection of the larger set, grouped by what they are for. Use /help in a dev client for the full list.

Command	Purpose

/removeEntity <slot>	Remove one
/pos <x> <y> [z]	Teleport the user entity (client-side)
/move, /moveRel, /moveTo, /orient	Move/orient entities

Command	Purpose
/ah <handler> <params>	Invoke any interface action handler
