How do you talk to people that are in your server without going in your server? is that ventrilo? or hltv? (i think thats right) im just wondering because sometimes i dont feel like going in my server just to change the map or something...or is it irc?

To control your server from the outside, you could just use the control panel's 'server control' page.
To actively chat with people in your server, HLSW is probably your best option.

in your control panel in server control there is an rcon line to talk to people in your server so they can hear you but you cant hear them type say " whatever you want"

You can send a message, but you can't actually chat with them. That is why I suggested using HLSW.

I have been working on a server-side script to use protocols and ports to allow for the communication of a server admin and the players in the server without the server admin actually being in the server. It is not an easy task. It requires two interfaces. I hope it will be done within the next about month. So far, it seems that the protocols are very sturdy and won't allow extra signals to be made but It's still in development so It's hard to say.
