RCON newbie question


JavaGuy

Recommended Posts

Maybe this should be obvious, but I've been through all kinds of server techie sites and failed to find it...

 

Where do I _find_ rcon? Is there an rcon.exe somewhere that I've missed? (I did a file search for rcon*.* and didn't find anything).

 

Also, is there somewhere I can find a specification for the rcon protocol so I can write a network app that retrieves server status?

 

Thanks!

RCON is a CVAR that is inside the game. You get/set/change rcon with

rconpassword newpasshere

once you set that in a dedicated server you can access it through the game with

rconpassword newpasshere

rcon status

then it will display the status of your server (have to be connected to the server or not connected to anyserver with the rconaddress command.)
