Noob Question Sorry

[Myst]

Great site people :)

Noob question if i may please regarding console rcon command.

I have recently got a server and currently use an external rcon prog.

However i'd like to use the console. I d/loaded the crimson guide (short cut on codmp etc etc.) clicking from short cut does take me into our server but the password has not been acknowledged. i tried /recon status, all i get back is unknown cmd or bad password.

Just wondering in the guide following the ip addy are there any space

+connect <server IP> +rconpassword “<whatever your rconpassword is>”

I have tried with and without spaces also with and without quotation marks.

Also have tried /reconpassword "password" which said either bad pass or unknown cmd. !!

password is correct.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

A couple of typos in your post for console commands which may have contributed to your problems. Correct commands would be.../rcon status
/rconpassword <password>

Sorry that was just typo's in this post afaik. although i shall double check tonight.

on +connect <server IP> +rconpassword “<whatever your rconpassword is>” after the ip addy are there spaces i.e
ip space +reconpassword space "password" or is it all continuous?

Thanks again.

edit: im a noob it was the incorrect spelling in rcon i was using recon as u suggested. thx for your help :)

Which rcon programme are you using?

Most rcon programmes have a command tab which allows you to enter commands to the server.

eg. set rconpassword "mypassword" send.

Then pull down the console and see if the command has been successful.

/rconpassword mypassword "enter"
/rcon status "enter"

the connect to IP needs to be last in the string on your shortcut
like this
+set rconpassword xxxxx +connect xxx.xxx.xxx

you were connecting before giving the rcon password, the connect needs to be last
then just drop down console and do /rcon status to check
and remember to put "/" before any rcon command or it will just come up as chat

All working fine :!:
