Lock & Unlock a server via RCon

Amired · #1 12-13-2009, 08:37 PM

Hey!

first I've gotta say - well done! I bought the full game right after unlocking the demo planes, It's a great game. I find myself playing it even more than COD:MW2, and it's much more addictive too. You really nailed it with this one!

I have a few questions. I am a crew member of a gaming site, and I have the RCon password to one of our dedicated servers. how can I Lock and unlock the server (with a pass ofcourse) via RCon command?
I tried '/listCommands' but I can't seem to find anything.

and also, how do I start a custom vote?
I seem to be able to vote only on things like kick, balance, map and stuff.. can I do a custom vote?

Thanks!

At the moment most server commands are not configurable on the fly (even if you're rcon) -- though we're planning to improve that down the line.

What kind of custom votes were you looking to initiate? We used to allow "vote poll am i the best player ever?" type stuff and it turned into horrible spamfests, but maybe you had some other commands in mind

At the exact time I noticed the command didnt exist I wanted to do a "Type 1 for TDM, 2 for Ball" vote, to see which gaming mode the players want.

Does 'vote poll' still exist? that's exactly what i'm looking for

Oh and a few more things I just remembered:

1. can a RCon remove / add bots? It will be really handy (Even necessary if you will.. when we're making official games we really need to kick those bots out

)
2. can a RCon remove current votes (vote map, vote kick) started by other users?

Thanks

Oh I see..
Thanks.
Is there an estimated date of release for those RCon improvements?

Thanks

being able to remove and add bots on the fly would be awesome

Yes, definitely! Currently the solution to do this is that you hold different servers with and without bots so you can hold more official matches without them, but transferring players from one server to another is always a hassle, so having dynamically editable bots would be great.
