Setting rcon password in command line

[gemcneill]

I know this can be done for games like css, l4d, l4d2, gmod, tf2, ect, but when creating the command line you cant use %rconpassword% to have it input the rcon they requested when the server is being created. I know this can be done for the config file but I would like to do this in the command line. Is there away around this?

No, this would require TCAdmin storing the rcon password, which it does not.

 

This request would be impossible to fill in the current state of TCAdmin.

Just make a commandl ine editor with this feature so they can add it to command line later.

 

FYI Steven, It will store the Rcon password if you use a custom config editor.

It doesn't store it in a usable database field though, I've already experimented with that. Also even though you use the config editor, when you re-use it a second time it does not populate the data from the config file already edited, and instead loads the "default" values.

 

At least it does on ours, however I find that making a config editor is only good for some games. Call of Duty, SourceTV, Battlefield, and probably a few others. Source based games though never get used and we used to have one. It became to much upkeep to support every single mod configuration possible - and than people just complain when variable xyz is missing anyways.

I did it with my servers works perfect stores just fine. I did mine in "Override Command Line:" Since the servers were already made.

Right you can do this as an overide but it will not be setup this way by default. With the security holes in valves engine I would like to see if this would be possible to do. This will prevent the exploit in the orangebox engine to allow them to download the server.cfg. The only other option is to disallow downloads, which is really not a option with all the custom maps out there.

Disallow download, turn on download URL. solves a world of issues. Reduced chance of lag, they can't grab server.cfg, content downloads for players faster keeping server more popular
