server monitor

[Mr. Potato Head]

Hello I have been playing hl2mp coop for some time and started to make maps but needed a server to test on . So i start a server the normal way through steam and found windows don't do zombies. So I get another hard drive and install Linux Ubuntu Hardy Heron on it , then srcds , what fun that was. I used this http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=1098643920&archive= to install most of it worked but i had to convert the css to hl2mp but it hoesed up , so i just drag server from one hard drive to the other reinstall sourcemods and it works fine.. My need is that i need a way to see the server to monitor the players and to input commands , like to kick a plaer or whatnot while not being in the game.

If you put in a HLTV bot, you can watch via HLTV. Then use something like HLSW to send RCON command.

or name yourself "SourceTV" and join spectators

Oh man is that the only way just to spectate , i need a console to input commands and to kick players on the fly while not in game just as the normal server setup is . I need linux to run zombies in the maps . This linux thing is all new to me i know very little about it , everything is worded differant and in strange places. Maybe what i need just cant be done at all .

HLSW Allows you to issue rcon commands without logging in the server. What I did is having an IRC Bot that has RCON Support. So I issue kick/msg/change map from IRC without logging inot the server. For what your doing, installing HLSW on windows is enough for your needs. Try it http://www.hlsw.org/

Cool i hope there be linux support.

Currently the client only works on windows.

It would be nice if Windows or Steam got there stuff to work .
