Command from CLIENT to change map. Server password protected

Post by shardana »

Hi Guys,
I setup a server ("Mattanza") but I want to allow clients to change map by their client's console... (when I'm not playing)

What is the syntax / parameters of the command considering that server is password protected ?

Kindest Regards,

Give them the RCON password, you did create one right?

Then, they can use the Remote Console (rcon)

from remote console all commands have to have "rcon" in front of it.

Like, map "dm/nycdm1" becomes "rcon PASSWORDHERE map dm/nycdm1"

Clients can also type the rcon password in console, then they just type "rcon map dm/nycdm1"

set rcon_password "rconpasswordhere"

or

rcon_password "rconpasswordhere"

Good Morning Trekker,
before posting in the forum I tried what I supposed it was the command... but it does not works...
From cliente console I used the syntax : rcon "password" map dm/nycdm3
but server replied : bad rcon_password.
But of course password is correct since I had to type it in order to jooin to the game....

the password is "sanna" (without quotes) when you have some spare times.. could you check if you can change map from rcon ?

ps: So you are from Canada ? how old are you ?

Kindest Regards,
Gianluca Sanna

Good Morning,

The "server" password is to allow only the players who have that password to join the server.

Remote Console (rcon) password is different.

Then there is the spectator password if one would like to set it up. So, there are 3 different passwords the server owners can setup.

password <==== server password which you have already set.
spectator_password <===== spectator password
rcon_password <===== Remote Console password

Look in your Dedicated.cfg for the following line:

set rcon_password "somepassword" <====

decide on a password and type it between the quotes, save and close the file, restart the server.

You are done.

EFIT: I got on your server but you weren't there.

Thanks a lot Trekker! I did it! thanks for you advice... how is my PING on your side ?
Do you have a skype account or do you use whatsapp in order to get in touch and meet together for a "View To Kill" ??

I'm working hard at home (remote PC Support and Software sales) ... even in this corona time... but when I have a little spare time I'd like to meet you and all the other of this forum... (together with my brothers)

this is my whatspp : +39 3294962427

Player password is "sanna"

I have a question... if I install some add-on on my SOF/server does they will be automatically downloaded by clients ?
I'm talking about : maps, weapons, sound pack and so on...

I still have not installed anything but the naked original game... can you suggest me what to install ?


Kind Regards,

Easiest perhaps be the new sof1 org Discord Server:

https://www.sof1.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4427" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

We can discuss all that on Discord or in game.

I need to remember my Skype login, do have WhatsApp never used on the new cell but it is there.

Used Telegram a few times (aunt lives in Hanover)
