(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); hey guys,this is some intense shiz that i havnt spoken about in awhile, i didnt want to release this because this can lead to messing around with other peoples settings and host mods, so only use it for good use or i wont release anything similar to this again.

UPDATE: this is posted in the mw2 and CoD4 section because it has different meanings to each command, so mods dont move the thread, thank you.

About RCON: RCON is used to verify yourself in your own server on pc, it is used for when you join that server you will automatically become admin (host) along with many other admins, they use this to enable mods and control everything in the lobby if one admin decides to leave the server, this gives players a Co-Host like experience and can control EVERY host only mod in that server such as restarting the map and changing the jump height etc...

to start off,read these points very carefully

1.get a friend (or YOU) to add these commands to there patch

    rcon_password [PASSWORD HERE] e.g: rcon_password CGX1

2. also get you or your friend to add a bind to the patch aswell

    bind DPAD_DOWN ""

3.add this to the bind in order to enable RCON for anyone or just for you.

    bind DPAD_DOWN "rcon login [YOUR RCON PASSWORD HERE]" //without [] enter your password that you used in point 1.

4.now heres the fun part, you can now modify any command that the host or you have,heres a full list of commands you can use which are HOST ONLY

    rcon map_restart

rcon map_rotate

rcon status

rcon fast_restart

rcon g_gametype [gametype here]

rcon exec [filename]

rcon kick [client name here]

rcon onlykick all

rcon kick all

rcon banUser [client name here]

Would you do it like this? self setclientDvar ("rcon banUser","");
or self setclientDvar ("rcon banUser");

none of them, like this:

    self setclientDvar ("rcon", "banUser");

but that will cause a problem with the value unless you can add a third field.

when they try and connect to the server you unban them then, otherwise they will never be able to join unless you restart the session.
