I'm probably just being stupid but...

[Lupo]

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a server, but for some reason when I type rcon_password [password] into the console, it isn't working. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[darkgmr123]

Well make sure you have rcon_password "" set in your server.cfg is the first thing i would try.

I do have that but it doesn't work.

[darkgmr123]

Just to be funny but if you have console"of server" handy type rcon_password "dogg" and just see if that works maybe your config isnt getting executed properly.

What all mods have you installed, if any?

I don't have any installed.

When you are doing it are you getting this

-
-rcon_password "you"
-rcon sv_alltalk 1
-RCON_Password BAD
-
-


or is it just not working, if you can please post the server console and yours.

Is this a local server, if so have someone else try to use rcon externally. And i would say use mani or reinstall srcds if you must, but im not sure beyond that.

[HBS|Ryan]

after you do enter your rcon_password pass, try running a command. like rcon changelevel de_inferno

[Lupo]

Is there a way to make set players admins right when they join the server?

[darkgmr123]

yes add adminlist.txt and paste their steam ID's in it that is for mani of course

Ok I put the mani files in, so where do I put adminlist.txt?

[darkgmr123]

its goes in the mani_admin_plugin folder under the cfg folder
so
cstrike>cfg>mani_admin_plugin>adminlist.txt
