Making changes via the console

OldePhart · 02-03-2009, 08:52 PM

I've started a dedicated server in my basement, and it runs fine.

I've set the rcon_password “mypassword” in the server.cfg. When I'm in the game, I open the console and type rcon_password mypass, and nothing happens. I try making some server changes via the console, and it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

after setting the password, you send commands to the server by preceding the commands with "rcon"

for example, if you want to talk as the console you would enter:

"rcon say I am the console and I will ban you"

Ah... thanks! That works.
So what are the steps to kick and/or ban?

Forgive me for being such a nOobeR.

Two of the many ways to kick/ban :P

rcon kick ID
rcon ban ID

You can get the ID from typing status in console. Funny you mentioned this, yesterday I was on a server (non TG) watching hackers using super speed!
