Title: Controling dedicated server? Post by: kick52 on March 31, 2007, 06:00:39 AM Hi.
I am running a (SUPER HARDCORE FAST 1MBIT) server, and its dedicated. The thing is, how the heck do I control it? I have tried starting the game through a shell, and then setting up a dedicated server, but all I can do is (in a weird way) print messages to the game, I want to be able to enter commands. Anyone know how I can do this? (Can it be done remotely?) Thanks. (PS. I am running on a Mac, so there are no dedicated binaries.) Title: Re: Controling dedicated server? Post by: baconfish on March 31, 2007, 11:42:48 AM I think it'd be awesome if you could control a server through a shell via ssh, but the way it's done is rcon (remote console, I guess).
Basically you need to set an rconpassword in your server config, then when you're connected to the server do "\rconpassword yourpassword" and then any command you want to execute on the server needs to follow "\rcon" (eg, "\rcon map_restart"). I may be an ignorant fool, but don't you use the Linux binaries for the Mac version? Title: Re: Controling dedicated server?

no, the mac version doesnt come with any binaries, i just get it running through the 'create server' option. Title: Re: Controling dedicated server? Post by: Blaenk on March 31, 2007, 07:04:57 PM You could run it from the terminal:
ioquake3.ppc +set dedicated 2 Or whatever the file is called, read the server wiki page. Title: Re: Controling dedicated server? Post by: Choyano on April 04, 2007, 04:58:52 AM I seted up choyaserver.cfg like this:
Quote sv_hostname "^2C^5hoya^12^5oft ^12^5erver" blabla...sv_maxclients 12 sv_master1 "dpmaster.deathmask.net" rconpassword "mypassword" my running script: Quote #!/bin/bash ./ioq3ded.i386 +exec choyaserver.cfg +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +map aggressor hm... when I execute the rcon command the game says: rcon password is not seted in this server (lol?) I tried to execute rconpassword mypassword and the rconaddress, but nothing happens, always says not seted. what's wrong? :O EDIT: I Solved this adding +set rconpassword mypassword at the running script (hmm, not in the server config :S :S) |
