25 December 2007 - 23:59CoD4 - Rcon Commands

Here’s a list of useful console commands for CoD4 server admins. Before using any of these commands you will obviously need to login to RCON.

You login by typing in the following:

/rcon login (password) ~ Replace password with the rcon pass without brackets.

Kick/ban/msg players:

/status ~ Displays information for all connected players in the server.

/tell (player id) ~ Sends a message to a specific player in the server via console (the message will appear next to the name ‘console’).

/clientkick (player id) ~ Kicks a specific player from the server.

/kick (player name) ~ Kicks a player from the server except instead of using the id to identify the player you need to instead type out the players name (colours included).

/banclient (player id) ~ Bans specific player from the server.

/banuser (player name) ~ Bans player by name not id.

/tempbanClient (player id) ~ Temporarily bans a player.

/tempbanUser (player name) ~ Same as above just by name not id.

/unbanuser (player name) ~ Unbans a user by name *note* the easiest way to unban a player is to delete the players name from ban.txt which can be found in the server files located in the server’s FTP.

Changing the map:

/map (map name) ~ Type in the map name you want without the brackets. Some of the map names used are different to the console command names. To make things easier here is a list of map names:

mp_backlot
mp_bloc
mp_bog
mp_cargoship
mp_citystreets
mp_convoy
mp_countdown
mp_crash
mp_crossfire
mp_farm
mp_overgrown
mp_pipeline
mp_shipment

/map_rotate ~ Loads the next map in rotation.

/map_restart ~ Restarts the current map.

/fast_restart ~ Restarts the map without loading.

Restarting server:

/killserver ~ Shuts the server down.

/Quit ~ Restarts the server.

The above is just a list of the most common commands you will need to know as a server admin. There are however alot more commands than this. Maybe in another post i’ll list those too.

*EDIT* Remember to type /rcon before each command and not the command by itself. E.G /rcon map_restart
