Server Operator

[Tony]

Hey there, everybody!

I am new to this abot Counter Strike: SOURCE Server. I wanted to help a friend of mine by installing a Dedicated Server for Windows XP called "SRCDS". Starting this file and process of downloading necessery files to the local computer. Everything went OK. After the finishing the downloading procedure I had to install an "Admin"-controller utility. The one we decided to use was this one "Mani Admin Plugin"

Internet address:

This Admin Plugin is a OK. But here comes my problem:
Some functions on the demands "Server Operator"???

What is it that I need to do/download/change to fix this problem?

Please provide your exact error message.
Please re-read your post before posting it.

The langauge is mostly in english, but the people who made it are french, so some things are spelled in french or english/french.

EDIT:
ERROR MESSAGE = When I type "sv_cheats 1" or something like that, then I get the following message: You are not authorized to use this command, you must be Server Operator to execute.

You never really said what the problem was... You need to specify what the error is, when it occurs. What happens after the error pops up, and where you see the error.

Sorry, check last edit.

Well if you have mani installed and you have yourself set as admin, then you could use ma_rcon sv_cheats 1. It says that because you can't access commands like that in the user console. You could also set the rcon password and then use rcon_password <password> then you could just use rcon sv_cheats 1. So basically it sounds like there isn't anything wrong with anything, you just aren't sure how to use it.

Is it not possible to edit any "ini"-file to fix this problem? I mean everytime you start the DS-server the Server Operator mode activates immediatly. Is this not possible?

Which admin is best to use with srcds???
Please answer? I really need this help.
I am really greatful for all help and tips!!!

P.S. I have been workin on this server about a month now.

There isn't a problem... You will not be able to put server commands like that straight into your client console.

Read what I said. You said you had mani, mani is good thats what I used back when I ran a server. If you add yourself as an admin in mani's setup then you would be able to use ma_rcon to perform rcon commands.

So sorry, if you got angry with me. I just had to ask, so that I can explain to the one I am helping. We will try with what you just wrote. I get back to you on Friday evening or on Saturday afternoon.

Until then, mega thanx.

I didn't really get angry, I just didn't know how else to put it. If you have any other questions feel free to ask them.

What that Error message is "ur not authorized" means that you are typing something in Console right... well u need to have the RCON password, login, then type it It will work just Fine

[Tony]

It worked just fine, thanx, Skeleton!

-------------------------------------

Now a new question regarding your answers. In what file do I type in the "RCON"-password?

[Drocona]

First yous et the rcon password in your server.cfg:
rcon_password <mypasswordhere>

then to us it you type it in the client console:
rcon_password <mypasswordhere>
rcon say hello this is a test
