srcds and mod cs rcon question

[lhffan]

I have one server running Debian Squeeze users are happy with stability and hitboxes. So far im very happy.

But im so new or hmm.. old i have forget old cs and old dod how rcon works in those mods. (I personaly only play source games nowdays)

If i want to educate some of my users how they:

changelevel
exec configs
set nextmap

How do i do that through rcon on old cs 1.6

rcon_password [mypass]; rcon changelevel de_dust2 <-- i think that work
rcon_password [mypass]; execute config <--- that i need help with
rcon_password [mypass]; set next map <-- that i need help with

[lhffan]

thanks for the info

server commands always need "rcon" in the beginning, else they are executed locally. also to execute a cfg file the command is simply "exec", so it must be":
rcon exec config

I am not sure how to set the next map, I think this is plugin dependent. Which admin plugin do you use? (What I know is nextlevel which will change the map to the given map after the end of the round IIRC)

btw: it is enough to set the rcon_password only once after joining the server.

Then rcon works exact the same way in source games and old non source game?

change map:
rcon_password <pass>; rcon changelevel de_dust2

change server config
rcon_password <pass>; rcon exec esl4on4_5on5.cfg

^ But this dont seem to work. If i exec server.cfg instead it works. But if i try to exec any other present config. I get an error in console that says that server could not exec that config.
Perhaps a chmod issue?
or
I put the config's at wrong place

Set nextmap i have found that is is dependent of a serverplugin. But i can live with that. Its easy to changelevel instead or perhaps edit mapcycle so everymap is run twice.

yes, possible. make sure those files are in the cfg directory (same as for server.cfg) and that the server has permissions to read it (also same as for server.cfg)

[lhffan]

The extra config files are in the same dir as the server.cfg (i can execute server.cfg)
but the other config files in same dir are not usable. Nothing happens. They have correct user and chmod.
