Anyone have TF2 + Rcon working?

[icculus]

I can't seem to get this to work. I've set an rcon password but no rcon commands work and I don't see any kind of rcon logging on attempts.

Is there anything that needs to be done aside from rcon_password to get this working?

It works for me.
in the server set rcon_password yourpassword
in your console of your game machine set it the same
type rcon say hello to see if it works.

Negative.. not working. Tell me, when someone authenticates via rcon does it log it to the console window? What about when someone fails with the wrong password?

I just get "Unable to connect to remote server (74.53.24.146:27015)" and it doesn't log my attempt to console.

I have a similiar issue. When I put in the:
rcon_password password

I then type "rcon" and see "Ozz13 disabled from autokick" (Or close to that). Important thing is I'm not getting "bad password" so I know It's correctly done.

I cant change a level though. When I try I get:
] changelevel cp_dustbowl
Can't changelevel, not running server

Code:

rcon changelevel cp_dustbowl

You could try to add rcon_address <ipaddresshere> to the server.cfg sometimes it doesn't know what to listen to

[BloodyIron]

you need to have the full range of ports forwarded, I have 27000-27020 forwarded, in order to get rcon working.

RCON listens on a TCP port, generally the same port as the game server's UDP port is bound to (ie 27015) So make sure you are forwarding/allowing both udp and tcp.
