Newbie to Servers, A few questions

tman456 · Post by **tman456** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 10:36 am

I got a server for Source today and have a few questions.

1. How do i log myself in to become admin.
Under Easy Setup the following shows up:
Server Name
Enable Rcon Password
Use a server password
Enable logging
Message of the day

Map cycle.

I don't know what to hit to log myself in or do i go somewhere else?

2. How do I put a picture of my clan on the very front loading screen when people join?

3. How do I enable AMX?

Please answer, thank you.

you log in via the console ingame for source, rcon_password password

password = the password you specified in easy setup, under enable rcon password field

As for a picture of the clan at the loading screen, you edit the motd.txt file using file manager, or use the easy setup by hitting the down triangle arrow to expand the motd html code section.

You need to use html to call for the picture, which you can host on the webserver or any other webhost, just not the gameserver. Use other html to format text around the picture as well.

the code for the picture is:

Code: Select all

There is no AMX for source at this time and theres no plans for AMX ported to source. The AMXMODX developers started a new project called Sourcemod, http://www.sourcemod.net.

On their forums they have a couple hl2 plugins that are hosted by sourcemod, which you can see here: http://sourcemod.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=15 (you must register to download them)

you got to be in the gameserver if you arent, and you need to do that to log in, then continue using rcon commands to control it. I noticed you said rcon password, should be rcon_password if you didn't do that.

like rcon changelevel mapname will change maps, rcon mp_restartgame 1 will restart the game in 1 second, etc.

after setting it in easy setup you must hit commit changes at the bottom then restart the server if you didn't.

Well i think it works because I was able to do it.

But i have a new question.

How do I ban someone from my server?

I tried doing rcon ban and there name

rcon ban and their steam id

rcon kick and their name or id

kick and their name or id

and kick and their steam name and it still wouldnt boot them.

Some guy was hacking in my server and I couldnt boot him and it made me mad. How do i kick or ban someone and how to i kill them?

its rcon banid 0 steamid kick

that will ban and kick them permanently

0 = # of minutes you want them to be banned

rcon kick name, rcon kickid steamid, rcon kick #userid

Is there a way to kill the person also?

Because sometimes I like to kill them as a warning before i ban them.

I tried rcon slay id
and rcon slay name

the dedicated server does not have a slay option, you would need to get and install a hl2 plugin for that or wait for sourcemod to come out

ok i just thought of a question.

How do i make it so when someone says ff it will automatically say ff is on or when they say nextmap or timeleft.

That also needs a plugin.
