Server Administration
Logging Into Rcon
The rcon password is set in the server.cfg file, you must first login to rcon on the server before you can issue admin commands. Join your server and open the console with the tilde key (~). Type in '/rcon login yourpassword' (without the quotes) and hit Enter. Note: Always use, and never forget, the forward slash "/" when logging in or you will broadcast your rcon password to the other players on the server. Note: To expand console to full screen, hold down Shift and hit the tilde (~) key.
Custom Desktop Shortcut
This creates a custom shortcut directly to your server, gives you rcon, and puts you in a private slot if you have that configured in your server.cfg.
Right click your MP desktop shortcut and choose Copy. Right click your desktop and choose Paste. Right click your new shortcut and choose Rename. Rename it to w/e you want it to be called. Right click the shortcut and choose Properties. In the Target field you will see this:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe"
At the very end, after the quote mark, click there so you have a blinking cursor, then hit space one time.
Copy this and paste it in:
+rcon login ***** +password ***** +connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:28960"
It should look like this when done:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +rcon login ***** +password ***** +connect xxx.xxx.xxxx:28960"
Replace the *****'s with your passwords for rcon and private slot.
Replace the x's with your server IP.
This will take you right into the server with the last profile you selected in multiplayer.
Also note that you can edit in the IP and Port and share this as is, the rcon and password
settings will be ignored.
