Rcon

[helio]

How do you connect to a gameserver to perform rcon commands like hlsw or tcadmin does? I looked around the internet a bit and I couldnt find anything that explained it well enough.

are you looking for a description of the RCON protocol? http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_RCON_Protocol

or maybe I did not understand your question ;-)

if your asking how to connect to your server normally you need input these commands and i hope i'm right

you need to put this..
rcon_address (this is your game server address:port number EX: 1.1.1.1:27015)
rcon_password (this is the password you put in your server.cfg)

then finally you can use
rcon <insert command here>

Im talking about if you want to write an external program like a mobile app. For instance if you want to connect to a ftp server you can just use firefox and use ftp://1.1.1.1, like lets say with java or c++

then read the link I posted. the protocol is completely described there. you might also look for existing implementations (google will easily find you some), so you have an example how it works (even if it's in a different language).

btw: hlsw already exists as an android app afaik. I didn't yet test it tough...

There's a rcon script around the web which will allow you to send rcon commands through PHP.
