//Banning + kicking

This can be done in 2 ways either by typing there name in , or by typing status in your console and there number next to them is the one to enter

Kick - Function

Example:
kick 134
kick noobtker

Ban - Function

Example:

banid 134 0 (adding a 0 makes it permenant and write , if u add 120 it will ban for 2 hours , and the number increments are by the minute)
banid noobtker 0

//Changing the level

Type in : changelevel mapname

Example:
changelevel de_dust2

//Connecting

Type in your console : connect followed by the IP

Example:
connect 127.0.0.0.1

//Password + connect

Type in your console : connect followed by the ip;password "password here"

Example:
connect 127.0.0.0.1;password edwar

//Passwording your server

Type in your console : rcon sv_password password

Example:
rcon sv_password edwar

if you do it right u should see this : server_cvar: "sv_password" "***PROTECTED***"

taking the pass off is easy type in your console rcon sv_password none

Have you put in your rcon password first?

Do you actually have admin?

 

[smeggster]

[CADMonkey]

rcon_password yourpassword

Then you can run the rcon commands.

 

[smeggster]

nah it jus says connont connect to remote server when i try a command

 

[Dekstar]

Try connecting to a server that you have admin on, for one...

 

[CADMonkey]

You need to restart the server, if you do have admin.

Contact your host or restart it manually if you have physical access to it. Apparently it's a bug that Valve has yet to fix...

When it's back online you should be ok.

i own the damn server. its runnin on the pc beside my main one.

You need to restart the server, if you do have admin.

Have you set a Rcon password in the server cfg file yet?

You can use the rcon 'say' command from any client connected to the server as long as they have the rcon password and have logged in. You can also use the command from the actual server console by just typing "Say your message" (Note: without the 'rcon' bit because you're typing it into the actual console)

Ok, we haven't gotten our admin mod setup yet, so for now I'm in a pickle. If my server is full, I can't get in! How do you do rcon without being in the server? I know I've seen it done in other games, and I assume if a 3rd party prog can do it, there's a way I can too.

 

[Mr Chong]

Voice comms?

Anyone know the command to turn voice comms in a server on? I have both rcon and ftp access so any method that works with those two would be appreciated

 

[almostzen]

rcon access

How do you do rcon without being in the server?

You can access a game without joining it by setting the rcon_address and the rcon_password before running the rcon command.

 

[StainlessJ-FPGA]

You can access a game without joining it by setting the rcon_address and the rcon_password before running the rcon command.

So do I type in:

rcon_address <ip>

then

rcon_password <phrase>

and I'm connected?

 

[Team-747 Rambo]

nah it jus says connont connect to remote server when i try a command

I have got that same thing, and yes i am admin but the person who actually baught the server has a program for it and can do everything externally e.g restart which is what someone said to do earlier. what can i do because the proper admin is away on holiday ;( and i really need to start kicking some people, they are ruining the Damn Server!

Please help

 

[DeVry Student]

Don't forget clexec - lets the admin view any file on your hard disk using ../../../../../../ to get to the root directory.

I thought I read somewhere that you have to write the bans to a cfg file in case the server restarts, because it doesn't save them automatically. But I can't find that site where I read it anymore. So does banid stay or not? And why does it require you to type kick afterwards? Or does it ban them without kicking if you don't, so they can continue to play but if they try to come back they are banned?
