A few questions.

[Hazz]

Hey guys.

I have a few questions regarding my 20 slot, 66 tick server that I am renting out from Invision Gaming.

1) For some reason the rcon doesn't work, I have put the IP into the server.cfg and I have set the password.

2) How can I make the server auto restart everyday at 4am?

3) Whats the best rates for a lag free server of this kind?

Here are the current rates:

// bandwidth rates/settings
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 20000
decalfrequency 10
//Do not change these settings
sv_maxupdaterate 75
sv_minupdaterate 10

Thanks for any help.

Best rented server (datacenter) rates:
sv_minrate 10000
sv_maxrate 20000
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_minupdaterate 20

decalfrequency is not a bandwidth setting...

You can make a server autorestart using cronjobs or task manager.

what's going wrong with rcon?

Thanks for the rates.

How do I exactly make the server restart at a certain time?

And basically I go into the console and put in the rcon password, do a command like changelevel de_dust2 and it says You are not running the server.

you have to do: rcon changelevel de_dust2

Are you running windows or linux?

Add an rcon in front of your commands on dedicated servers
(Except for the rcon_password command)

Oh my, the rcon mistake was a bit silly.

The place I am renting from use Windows.

So you don't have an own server?
That makes it a little bit more tricky.

The only thing I can see to reboot the server is to setup a cronjob on your webhost, which
connects per TCP to rcon and submits the "quit"-Command.
The Server will ONLY come back again if your host uses the -autoupdate parameter, else it will stay down until you reboot it via webinterface.

Ok, I could try that. And yes the server does have the autoupdate feature because it automatically restarts after using the quit command.

Ok
If you dont' know how to code such a tool and/or don't have a cronjob hosting, just pn me and I'll set it up (for free o.c.)
Should'nt be too difficult to send a rcon to your server (but please note that you will have to provide the rcon, so it's a matter of trust!)
