MRC's RCON GUIDES

 

This guide is divided into Several Parts. For New Users read these opening Instructions Carefully and learn the Common Rcon commands first as they will be what you use most. Next you may wish to study Other Common comands which are the next most often used commands. When you become seasoned at using those commands you may then study the complete guide by Following The Links. Make Sure you follow the Rules outlined in the RCON Forumn.

 

IMPORTANT!!!! (please read)

Although you can enter the rcon password through the console using the /rconpassword command it is recommended you use 1 of the following 3 methods to avoid in advertantly publicising the rcon password. If you still choose to enter rcon password through console then BE VERY SURE TO PRECEED COMMAND WITH / (example: /rconpassword "secretpassword") failure to do so will print what you typed to screen for all players to see!

 

Method 1:

Enter Rcon password in a game browser (such as X-Fire) and use the browser to join game.

 

Method 2:

Create a shortcut to launch CoD Muliplayer placing the rconpassword and whatever else you wish in the shortcut itself, will allow you to easily and quickly join our server, as well as be able to immediately execute RCON commands, without having to enter the rconpassword. Below are the instructions for creating a CoD shortcut:

1. Go to your CoD folder, where the game exe files are located
2. Right click on CoDMP.exe and select "Create Shortcut"
3. Rename the shortcut to something like "My Clan Server"
4. Right click on the shortcut and select the Properties option
5. Click on the Shortcut tab, click inside the Target field and press the [END] key
6. Add the following information AFTER the game path (i.e. "C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" – note that this is completely unique to where you installed the game so your path may be different):

+connect <server IP> +rconpassword “<whatever the rconpassword is>”

7. Click the OK button
8. Move the shortcut to your Desktop (or wherever you want it) or if you use XP, right click on it and select Pin to Start Menu. Simply select/double click on the shortcut when you wish to join our server

NOTE: There MUST be a space between the end quote of the game path and the +connect line.

This way, once you are in the server, all you have to do is type /RCON and then the command.

Example: /rcon status

/rcon map_rotate

 

Method 3:

Create an autoexec_mp.cfg file and place it in your Call of Duty/MAIN folder, you can have several settings executed every time to start Call of Duty Multiplayer. This can be useful for many things, particularly for adding our servers rconpassword. The below steps are instructions as to how to create this file and how to add the rconpassword to it:

1. Go to your Call of Duty/MAIN folder,
2. Right click on some white space and select "New >> Text Document"
3. Name the file “autoexec_mp.cfg" (MUST be named exactly as this)
4. Open the file in Notepad
5. Add the following line:

rconpassword “<whatever our rcon password is>”

6. Close and save the file; join our server and you should be able to issue RCON commands right away (i.e. /rcon status)
