Logging in as admin

[Matt]

Can you tell me the basic command and syntax to login to a COD server as admin? Can't seem to log into ours. We set the passwords, but it doesn't seem to recognize any version of admin login command in-game via the console. Using the console, then the forward slash then which command??? I thought it was something like: /adminlogin_secretword I know other commands are in that style, like /map_restart But I keep getting "unknown cmd adminlogin" or "admin" or "login", etc. etc.
Any help would be appreciated.


This was posted by a friend, I honestly couldn't find the command anywhere. I was hoping someone would us out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

dunno if this is what you are asking about but...

i use.

/rconpassword xxxxxx (this allows me to send the rcon commands)

/rcon command (what ever command i am sending)

[Taradon]

from console, type in "\rconpassword [your password]"

Assuming your server is not local, then you can then send commands to the server using "\rcon [command]".

{tip} if you are unsure of the sytax of your command, start typing it, then hit the TAB key ... alternative endings to your command will be displayed. If there are a lot, use PageUp/PageDown to scroll through them :)

[MOMMA]

As horseflesh mentioned we have always used /rconpassword (password). Using the forward ( / ) slash not a back ( \ )slash.

You can do it this way as well:

Create another desktop shortcut for CoDMP. Go into the Properties and add the following to the end of the info in the target area:

+set rconAddress 00.000.000.00 +set rconPassword xxxxxxx +connect 00.000.000.00

Change the 0's to your server's IP and the x's to your rcon password. Using this method, once you double-click the shortcut you will automatically be connected to your server with rcon enabled. No more typing the password each time you want to use an rcon command. Not to mention no more accidental broadcast's of your rcon password in the chat.

Matt posed this question for me prior to my registering (thx Matt). I appreciate the help since I've only admin'd unreal engine games before and this interface is very different.

The rcon command works as described above - thx for that. However it is cumbersome to type all that and I like Bane's solution. At least for now, we are passwording our server for our members to get familiar with the game before the hordes overwhelm us. That has added an apparent problem. I added bane's suggested text to the properties of my desktop shortcut and also added a line at the end "+set Password xxxxx". Now this does allow me to enter the server, but seems to knock the server offline somehow. I assume I have the syntax wrong or in the wrong order. But if I don't add the password somewhere, I can't get into the server at all. Also, is it necessary to have the 5 digit port # with the IP or not? Seems like it isn't, but I was curious.

[Bane]

"D:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set cg_drawfps 1 +set com_maxfps 200 +password xxxxx +set rconAddress 00.000.000.00 +set rconpassword xxxxx +exec rconbinds.cfg +connect 00.000.000.00
That's my shortcut. Take note of the space between the last " and the first +. Other than that I would keep the +connect 00.000.000.00 as the last item.

I'll break it down for ya... just in case:

+set cg_drawfps 1 = display your frames per second
+set com_maxfps 200 = resets the max fps lock to 200
+password xxxxx = sets your private slots password
+set rconAddress 00.000.000.00 = indicates what server you want rcon for
+set rconpassword xxxxx = sets your rcon password
+exec rconbinds.cfg = executes my rcon binds config file (see below)
+connect 00.000.000.00 = connects me to the server

The rconbinds.cfg file will be placed in the D:\Program Files\Call of Duty\Main folder. Mine looks like the following, but you can bind any rcon command you like (as long as it doesn't require input from you like clientkick where you have to input the client number).

bind F3 "toggleconsole; rcon status"
bind F4 "rcon say ^3Respect the spawn areas."
bind F5 "rcon say ^3Even the teams please."
bind F6 "rcon say ^3Watch the language."
bind F7 "rcon say ^3Comprehension is not a requesite of compliance."
bind F8 "rcon say ^3Thank you"
bind F9 "rcon map_restart"
bind F10 "rcon map_rotate"
// demo record toggle
seta demo_start "record; set demo_tog vstr demo_stop"
seta demo_stop "stoprecord; set demo_tog vstr demo_start"
seta demo_tog "vstr demo_start"
bind F11 "vstr demo_tog"

I hope all that helps. Good luck.

[Flint350]

Seems to have worked for me, thx bane. Esp. for the idea for good ole F7 bind. Gotta love that one! lol I'm gonna use that one on my other servers too. You want credit? lol

[Bane]

LOL Don't thank me... thank the Wachowski brothers! Another good quote is Cartman from Southpark: "Respect mah authoritah!!" LOL

Glad it works for you.

[imported_Hunter]

Thanks for The info Above , Awesome , just what i was looking For . Only I'm having Trouble With , +exec rconbinds.cfg = executes my rcon binds config file . I Dont Have Such a File in My Main and One wasn't created or anything , What am i doing Wrong ? I'd really like to use these binds........Thanks Again .............Pete

[Bane]

No problem Pete.

To create the rconbinds.cfg file:

* Open up Notepad
* Copy/paste my example above
* Save As
* Change the file type to All Files
* Name the file rconbinds.cfg
* Save to your Call of Duty\Main folder

That's it. Keep in mind there are other commands than the ones I used. This forum has some good info about the different rcon commands and their binds if you should choose to change them. You can also change the keys from the F# keys to whatever works for you. Finally, you don't have to name the file rconbinds.cfg - you can name it whatever you want as long as it has the .cfg file extension and the same file name appears in your shortcut.

Good luck.

Quick Question Bane ....It appears the Binds Only Work along with being logged on as an admin , Can i Configure Key Binds Sayings So that they work in Any Server ? . I took Out Everything From The Target Except +exec rconbinds.cfg , but it doesnt seem to work cause i'm not logged on to a Console..........Thanks Again............Pete

[Bane]

You're welcome.

Yes, you have to be connected as an admin for any /rcon command to work. You cannot bind the in-game voice messages at this time, but you can bind chat messages. I have yet to try it but I believe the syntax is:

bind F3 "say Nice shot!"
bind F4 "say_team I'll cover you!"

say: broadcast a chat message to everyone on the server
say_team: broadcast a chat message to your team

Hopefully that works.

[Tighten]

Yes - you can do key binds for any server, although, they will only be in text - not voice. You can either make them for global (everyone) or just local(team only).

//Team-Only -- say_team
bind q "say_team I need back up"
bind w 'say_team radio docs here - protect them!!!"

Or -

//Everyone -- say
bind f "say I hate all you xxxxing cheaters!!!"
bind d "say Thank's for the games fella's -nice server!"

what I have done to make everything easier for me is - copy your cod_mp.cfg into MS Word (it lines everything up very nice)

Seperate everything into groups -r_ , g_, seta_ etc.. I will post my personal.cfg below.

then I save the doc. I make a copy of the cod_mp.cfg to my desktop, delete everything in it, rename it to yourname.cfg, then place it back in my main folder.

Now when I am in a server, I open up the console and type in exec tighten.cfg and all of my binds and settings are there.

here is my config..
