What are the differences between Admin System and cheat commands from "sv_cheats 1"?
Are the Admin System and the cheat commands from "sv_cheats 1" the same thing? How do they work severally? What are the similarities and differences between the two? I want to know some of their differences in detail.

Admin System: You can use all the available commands and change the cvars. Without the use of sv_cheats 1. Which you can't use on a local server. You can use it on a local or dedicated server, and you can unlock achievements. And invite friends or people.

SV_CHEATS 1: This requires you to run the "map" command in the console. You will not be able to unlock achievements, it is difficult for your friends to enter due to LAN and other IP connections. And they will all use commands when command is set to 1.

For more information. Here is a guide to the mod:

According to your answer, we can even use Admin System to unlock achievements, it seems that Admin System is also the intrinsic part of the game program. Then why do we have to additionally install a mod or sourcemod plugins to obtain or somehow activate the Admin System commands?

Also I'd like ​to ask if there's any conflict between Rayman1103's Admin System mod and the admin system from sourcemod plugins. Can I use both of them in game?

Furthermore, since I was about to install some functional plugins based on sourcemod, I wonder if it's OK to use the plugins together with all my mods subscribed from workshop. Will there be any conflict?

Yes, you can use Admin System and Sourcemod together without any problem. I am using, Admin System, vscripts mods and several Sourcemod plugins and it works perfectly. As long as you prevent it from crashing.

Unfortunately, with the TLS Update. Made some tweaks to restart cvars commands when you change/pass maps.

For example, changing the cvar command with the admin system as: !cvar z_tank_health 4000 or !cvar mp_gamemode versus. And when changing the map the values are restored by default.

But with Sourcemod, changing the cvars commands with the sm_cvars command keeps the changes you put in.

Oh, I see. How about the question on #2?
