/rcon Unknown Comand

[ICGALN]

I'm trying to help a friend setup a server but we have hit a brick wall. The server is up and he can connect to it but when he trys to enter an rcon password via the console it say "rcon" unknow command......an ideas ??

 

He is using xp.

How exactly are you trying to enter it? To set the rcon pass with the client so you don't need to type it every time, you'd use:

 

/set rconpassword blahblah

 

Then you can issue rcon commands like so:

 

/rcon map ffa_bespin

/rcon status

 

...and so on.

 

Otherwise, you need to include the rcon password in the commands like so:

 

/rcon blahblah map ffa_bespin

/rcon blahblah status

 

Of course, ou replace blahblah with your actual pass.

Sry i guess i should be more specific, it say unknown comand for everything, any comand or gibberish thats typed in

 

Example: /status

 

Unknown comand "status"

 

rcon is set in config file and if i conect to the server and try the rcon its fine and can do everything as normal but if he joins and trys it does the above mentioned.

if you are doing it right at the dedicated server terminal you don't need the / just type status.

 

If you are in the game you need to type /rcon urpassword status.

 

If you want a utility that will let you administer the server remotely try Fragomatic's Rcon Commander

no even with status you just need to type / so it does not say it then /serverstatus if you type /status then it says server is not running and the better one if your a admin like me your best with /serverstatus
