%rconpassword% not showing

[julianw]

Hello,

 

I have just setup all my e-mail templates

 

but when I try it out on a new account, everything seems to work but this:

 

Rcon Password: %rconpassword%

 

 

 

it does not show me anything in the e-mail

 

I was testing this on a Counter-Strike: Source server with rcon password "testrcon"

 

does anybody have a clue about how to fix this?

uhhm did you use this variable in a template not supporting this internal variable? I think it doesnt work with a user welcome email, only in the templates in which the variable is in the dropdown list as well? Just an idea

hmm ...

 

Game Server Automation

 

New Game Server Email Template

 

The attached picture shows that it does show in that list

 

 

 

besides that, if it would be like you say, it would show Rcon Password: %rconpassword%

 

and it shows me:

 

Rcon Password: (nothing here)

 

 

 

so yeah ... :/

[julianw]

Just tried it again:

 

This is my code:

 

<div class="pre"><pre>Game: %gamename%

IP: %serverip%:%serverport%

Slots: %slots%

Rcon Password: %rconpassword%

Private ( 0 = no, 1 = yes ): %isprivate%

Private Password( ignore if Private = 0 ): %privatepassword%</pre></div>

 

 

 

This is what I get:

 

<div class="pre"><pre>

Game: Counter-Strike: Source

IP: 87.117.224.91:27035

Slots: 10

Rcon Password:

Private ( 0 = no, 1 = yes ): 1

Private Password( ignore if Private = 0 ):

</pre></div>

 

It also does not show me my Private Password, while it is a private server !!!

 

 

 

maxXx told me on msn it might be my config file, I'll also add that in here:

and than last, my server.cfg as it shows on the server:

 

<div class="pre"><pre>

// rcon passsword

rcon_password "warserver"

 

// Server password

sv_password "warserver"

</pre></div>

 

 

 

any more suggestions?

[MaxXx]

when you created the server is the rcon password shown in the config file (server.cfg in this case) in the "rcon_password " section?

[julianw]

yes, thats the last part of my reply, it shows the server.cfg file ( that is a fresh install where I copied it from )

[MaxXx]

oops didnt make it all the way down there anymore after that config file

 

 

 

 

 

Did you set the rcon password to the one displayd in the server.cfg or is that manually entered?

[julianw]

I entered those 2 values ( private and rcon thing ) when I was creating the gameserver from the TCAdmin panel

 

 

 

Private Password:

 

Verify Private Password:

 

RCON Password:

 

Verify RCON Password:

 

I just filled those in.

 

 

 

and the last copy-paste thing is from the server.cfg ( warserver part )

[MaxXx]

ok that is weired never had something like this going on yet, did you try to simply recreate the game server after making sure the templates are set up correctly again? What happens from time to time is that i forget a "%" when entering it manually or silly mistakes like that. Then re create it and see if its working. In any other way wait till the TCADMIN guys are on or put in a support ticket.

[aNti]

I am having the same problem with COD2. Everything in the email shows except the rcon password. It just comes back blank.

[julianw]

does it do it for hostname too ? cause mine does ^^

[aNti]

Hostname works for me. I did it with colors as well and it still worked. Just RCON.

[Joranh]

We have also the same rcon mail problem, is there an solution for this problem?

[maddanny]

Do you have this when server is created or only when you send the email again ?

For second case it's not a bug, the support told me it's because RCON password can be changed by the customer so it doesnt make sense to display it (i dont agree with that but i'm waiting for v2 ).

[Joranh]

tnx for your reply

 

We don't send mails directly after the server is created. We test the server before we send the email to the client.

 

I've tested it to mail directly after creation, that works.

 

But the "send notification now" button in server settings does not send the rconpassword.

 

I understand why, couse the variable can't be parsed from the game config file becouse the password is already set.

 

But there must be an way to mail the rconpassword, but i cant find it right now.

 

Here is an stripped config from one of our games:

 

<NEWEMAILSUBJECT>Uw %gamename% gameserver is created</NEWEMAILSUBJECT>

<NEWEMAILBODY>%username%,

 

 

RCON : %rconpassword%

</REINSTALLEMAILBODY>
