I've got a Dedicated Serv - Now What?
 

Hey everybody - I'm putting up my Dedicated server more often for my guys to practice while i finish some work, and I'm wondering if I can use this to my advantage, as in Kick Noobs and Laggers, give Welcome msgs as Console or restart and stuff like that. Could someone give me a short but informative guide on actions and controls for when I'm putting up a Dedicated server? (If there are any)

I don't know about short but I can give you an informative reply:

Good Programs to setup:
MOHAA CI : It will kick laggers, cheaters or anything you want it to kick.

Not to put in those commands, you type into the console one of those commands.

For example, I want to kick someone, I do this:
1. Load Moh:AA
2. Setup the server with name inside of Moh:AA
3. Now when the console is finished loading type in, "set rconpassword porno" replace "porno" with your desired password.
4. Next type in rcon kick Franky or rcon clientkick 1. ["Franky" represents the player name and the "1" represents the player id number. The ID number can be found by typing "status" into console and the number left of their name]

And that should be it.

There are also many other programs like delator, Panda something ect.

Hope that helped.

hey thanks a bunch hawke u got my regards m8

Anytime.... beer:

http://www.mohadmin.com is a good site for server hosting etc

Hmmm... It says "rcon" is an illegal command. Help here or did I miss something you said earlier?

is this before or after setting your rcon?


You have to set rcon first. [set rconpassword xxxx - where xxxx is the password]

Then when you go to type in another command, you replace "rcon" with whatever password you put.

K this is getting confusing. I did the set rconpassword and I put the password as rcon. then i tried the other things like messages and put rcon and it still says rcon is not a command...

you don't actually put RCON.

Instead of this:
rcon status

You Put This:
Hawke status [not acutally hawke but whatever you originally set your rconpassword as.]

Okie doke I'll try that...

So I've got my password as Sali*** . I type Sali*** say Welcome ... blah blah blah. After I press Enter, it clears and nothing changes on the screen. Good or bad?

I put *'s in there so no one gets on and messes with it.


I honestly don't remember. Best thing to do is setup MOH:CI or Crow King's Autokick so that every once in awhile it sends out 5+ different messages. All you have to do is put in IP and PW and then mess with it and set it up how you want. It is very easy to use. Much easier than manually doing it and typing into console.

Okay. What's PW and where can I get these MOH:CI and Crow King's Autokick?

pw = PassWord
