Tester menu (F4)

bs_tester is a menu on F4 (/testermenu, rebindable) for people who help you test. It is not a staff menu: everything goes through the server with cooldowns and limits.

Giving access

Admins always have it. For everyone else, open F10 > PLAYERS, pick the player and toggle TESTER. Access is stored per account in bs_testers, so it survives restarts and character changes. Toggle it again to take it away.

Add ensure bs_tester after ensure bs_admin in server.cfg. If it’s not running the F10 toggle says so.

What’s in it

• Test vehicles: spawn from the world vehicle pool plus a few extra normal cars, fix, delete your last one. Max 3 alive per tester.
• Kits: pistol, rifle, shotgun and melee kits, and ammo for the weapon in hand.
• Condition: revive / heal, refill needs, clear infection, and a no hunger / thirst drain toggle.
• Movement: teleport to your waypoint, copy your position to the clipboard.
• Overlays: debug views like nearby zombies.

Limits

All in bs_tester/config/config_tester.lua:

Tester.Limits = {
    maxVehicles     = 3,
    vehicleCooldown = 8,
    kitCooldown     = 30,
    ammoCooldown    = 10,
    healCooldown    = 10,
    fixCooldown     = 5,
    needsCooldown   = 10,
    teleportCooldown = 5,
}

The kits and extra vehicles are lists in the same file. Test vehicles are tracked in bs_tester_vehicles.
