A few questions.
#1
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.

Are you running windows or linux?

Add an rcon in front of your commands on dedicated servers Smile
(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 Smile
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!)
