CS:S rcon help plz

[myrk]

Hi all

Im a new admin (first time) for a CS:S server my buddies and i went in on. So far its been great however i am having some trouble with the rcon on the server.

I can do most things with a couple of exceptions.
rcon banid does not seem to work nor does mp_forcechasecam.

Maybe im doing it wrong? I downloaded the HL rcon guide from a previous post and have checked the steam forums but cant find any different way to do it other than what i have already tried.

Lil help plz???

As far as I know, rcon banid does work correctly in CS:S. The format as reported by the game is:

> rcon banid
Usage: banid <minutes> <uniqueid or #userid> { kick }
Use 0 minutes for permanent

You'd need to do a rcon writeid after executing that command.

mp_forcechasecam is not a valid cvar in CS:S.

So i would type in: rcon banid 0 00:00 kick
to ban player 00:00 permanently?

Also what is the difference between player #userid and uniqueid.
When you use the command rcon users is it showing you the #userid or uniqueid?

Yes.

Also what is the difference between player #userid and uniqueid.

rcon users shows you the userid in the first column.

rcon status shows you the userid in the first column and the steamid (uniqueid) in the third column.
