BigTeddyPaul Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Where to begin. I made a dedicated server for my clan (Crimson Masters) and I use the Jedi Runner program. I am having a few problems. First off there is a setting where the computer will post a phrase every 15 minutes (or whenever I tell it to) and it says I need a RCON password, I believe it was, for this to function. What is a RCON password? Also the onyl game type it seems I can choose if FFA. I set it to duel and TFFA on the runner but when I start the dedicated server it always shows up in the FFA section and doens't behave the way a duel or TFFA program should run. I think it has something to do with the fact that there isn't the command seta g_gametype in my configuration file.

BigTeddyPaul Posted March 1, 2003 Author Posted March 1, 2003 I figured out how to switch game types by just adding in the info to the files (seta g_gametype x) but what is a RCON password? BigTeddyPaul
Bilbo Skywalker Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 rcon is short for remotecontrole, i don tknow much about this, but its a pass you can set so that anyone who isnt admin can execute commands, like change map, kick player etc. i mean if one of your friends wanted to admin for a while, you'd give him the rcon pass, so he could look after the server.
BigTeddyPaul Posted March 1, 2003 Author Posted March 1, 2003 so it is just a password that he can somehow enter in? Or is it his name or something? BigTeddyPaul
Bilbo Skywalker Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 yeah its a password, basically you set it server side. then say your gone one day, and you tell your friend the rcon password. he can then join the server and in the console type rcon 'password' kick 'playername' for example.
BigTeddyPaul Posted March 2, 2003 Author Posted March 2, 2003 Your help is much appreciated. BigTeddyPaul
Andy867 Posted March 3, 2003 Posted March 3, 2003 Basically, RCON is for remote control, or admin access from a remote computer that isn't actually hosting the game. Its used for friends and clans to help control the game and the flow of it, and to change stuff in case the server host isn't there. to access it you friend theoretically would first need to type in /rconpassword (Enter password that allows him access to the admin controls, from there, you can change maps, change gameplay, change fraglimts, kick players, shut down the server(if needed), change forcepowers, etc.
BigTeddyPaul Posted March 3, 2003 Author Posted March 3, 2003 Many more questions I ran the server today and I was trying to kick one of my fellow clan mates out of the server to test it out just in case we really needed to someday. It didn't work. It kept telling me the server wasn't running. I was like Okay. For the Jedi Runner program I set I put the admin as BigTeddyPaul. Should I change it to [CM]BigTeddyPaul or will it recognize me with just the BigTeddyPaul in the title? AND if I do need to change it to the [CM] version do I have to make sure I put the ^7 and ^4s in because I use colors. Now when I try to use the RCON do I have to type it in once and have unlimited power or do I have to type it in every single time I need to make an admin change? Example: I bring up the screen and type /rconpassword hockey (hockey is the pretend password). Can I then just type in any Admin decisions or do I have to type /rconpassword hockey ENTER COMMAND each and every time? {chants of Andy getting louder} BigTeddyPaul
Andy867 Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 after entering the rcon password, you just have to type recon before each command ex /rcon status /rcon clientkick 4 things like that.
