Here are
some Rcon commands which will help the admins to better
control their server.
/rcon
password
Lets you log into the server. the password is the
rcon password that you set in your server config,
this line should be in your server config file! set
rconpassword "rtcw", this will assign rcon
to the password rtcw so you can use the following
commands.
/rcon
status
This command gives you a general status of each player
on the server.
Here's an exemple of the output.
Map: mapname
num score ping name lastmsg address qport rate
0 12 24 cak with spaces 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27960 35475
25000
1 62 456 JohnTheKiller 50 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27960 23475
25000
2 0 169 AnotherCak 50 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27960 11277
25000
3 29 999 ^5L337tness50 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27960 15797
25000
So you
can use the status to see how much bandwidth you are
using by calculating the rates of all the players.
Now if the player AnotherCak is being a jerk on the
server or any other reason that breaks the server
rules then you can kick him by doing the following:
/rcon
kick username
If we want to kick AnotherCak we just insert his name
instead of username and bang!
/rcon
say
Talk to players from the console.
/rcon
map mapname
Use when more than one map are available on the server.
/rcon
motd "Server will be down at 9pm"
Change the message of the day.
/rcon
timelimit 10
This will set the time of the game to 10 minutes!
/rcon
g_friendlyfire 0
Will turn off friendly fire meaning you can't kill
your teammates. (0=off, 1=on)
There
are other commands you can use using /rcon, almost
any command that is in your server config file can
be used to alter its value.
