Add this line to the server.cfg:

 

seta rconPassword "password"

 

Then, when you connect to the server, hold down shift and hit ` to bring down the console. Type this:

 

/set rconpassword password

 

From that point until you disconnect, you can give server commands by typing:

 

/rcon command

 

For example, to change to a different map (ctf_bespin here) type:

 

/rcon map ctf_bespin

 

To kick someone you type:

 

/rcon kick playername

 

-or-

 

/rcon clientkick playernumber

 

The player number is listed in front of thier name in the status list.

well, it just keeps giving me "bad rcon password" when i enter it

Are you sure you are typing it in correctly? Just for giggles, you could try using: seta rconpassword "password" with the lower case 'p' in there. But, I don't believe that should make a difference. Make sure that when you type the password you use the same case. As long as you've done all those things....it should be fine. You did include a +exec server.cfg in your startup line, right? Just trying to cover all the bases.

wait, i got it, had to rcon things in my cfg

[caelestis]

i am having problems doing the shortcut w/ the +exec server.cfg added to it, it tells me wrong target path or something, not sure what the deal, maybe u could step me through it as if i had no brain

Make sure that the server.cfg file is located in the base directory along with your assetx.pk3 files.

yeah it is in there, but still not working
