Having problems Setting up a Server..

[Pfc. Cole]

Hi gentlemen/ladies,

I have just received this great game COD and I am interested in hosting a server useing my computer.

An 8 person server ..nothing big. This is simple just use the disks and click "start new server" and start one.. :|

However... :? ...I want to have a program so that I can set up a map rotation, have a ban list, set up "auto messages", autokick, ...etc...something like the Blackbagops program.

Now...I did d/l the "Freezer REmote Admin 0.93" program.

I put my IP in and port...now it asks me for a Rcon password. My apologies.."what is a Rcon?" :x( I believe it is a Remote Console Password.

When I put my IP in and port and then hit query server it DID find it. I looked on my COD ded. Console and it does recognize the Remote Manager .93. I tried something simple like send a message in text then looked on my COD console. It came back as a " bad rcon from (my ip and port)"

What do I have to do to get this "Good" rcon password so I can use this program to set up my server the way that I want it?

Maybe there is another program that is easier to use..don't know.

I have a Remote Manager for Battlefield set up, but I "recieved" my password from the host. Since I want to host is there a server admin client program i can use instead of the REmote admin. program.

Hope somebody sees my dilemma... :P .

If anybody has any suggestions that would be great!

ps. "Sorry for this long ass post."

Well I use Autokick.. it can be downloaded from this site in the download section.. it works well, it will do all the stuff you want I think. Anyway you will need to make sure you have a rcon password setup in your dedicated.cfg. In there you should see a line like this

// Rconpassword
set rconpassword " "

It may already have something between the quotes. If not, put something there and save and restart your map..

Just to make sure you got it working.. start your game.. go into it.. and bring down the console.. type:

/rconpassword password

If you did it correctly you should now have RCON control.. to see type this:
/rcon status

You should see some information about the people in the server (likely to be only you).. ok.. so that is your Rcon password.. and that's the password you will put in your admin tool. Your password will always be the same as long as that line is in your dedicated config.. or you change it manually in the game.

Also, map rotation is done via the config file as well.. or you can setup a seperate config file for map rotations if you want. Instructions for how to make a map.cfg are on this site.. under guides.. here is a LINK (http://www.codadmin.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=5)

Also if your not really familiar with config files.. here is a some good info on them.. on this site as well.. Yep.. in the guides section.. here's the LINK (http://www.codadmin.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=7)

Good luck.

And then all i have to do is right click the file and hit edit? then i can change my PW? sorry for the ignorance.

Your rcon information should be in your config file in your CoD "main" folder. Most likely something like server.cfg. Open that and look for 'set rconpassword'

Type in a new pass and save. Execute your config and your rcon is changed.
