Rcon Commands

From RconMax

Jump to: navigation, search

Rcon (Remote Console) commands can be used by an admin who has the rcon password to change the setting on the game server affecting the way the game is played. The commands can be issued either in game using the in game console, or with an rcon tool like RconMax.

In game (COD4) commands are issued in the game console. Press the ~ (Tilde) key to open the console and log in by typing: 

/rcon login <password>

replace <password> with the rcon pass (without brackets).

After logging into rcon commands are issued by typing the command into the console in the following format: 

/rcon <command> <value>

Do not forget the /rcon. Only some commands require a <value>. For example: 

/rcon map_restart

will restart the map, and 

/rcon sv_maxping 200

will set the max ping to 200.
