Server name and password?
« on: August 23, 2010, 01:48:31 am »

I did look at the Beta 4 Release Documentation but I couldn't find the answer to this question anywhere, so I'm posting it here.

Tonight I put some work into finally working out how to translate a working, LAN-only server into a working, people-online-can-connect-to-it listen server, and I have succeeded (the plethora of questions asked on this forum meant I had a lot of available help!).

The post I read on the forum recommended that, instead of using the "Create Server" menu option, you should go into the console and type "map ge_xxxx" to start your game and create your server. However, when I do that, the server is called "GoldenEye Source" and there is no server password. What do I need to type into my listenserver.cfg file (or indeed, the console) to automatically set a name and password for the listen server?

Also, where should I have looked on the wiki to find this? Is there a more detailed page of server commands, or something similar? I tried using the Wiki's search box and found ge_serverpw, but when I put that into the cfg file, the console gave me an error when I created the server.

Thanks in advance for your help, I'm really loving the mod!

And for the password I think its sv_password "password"

rcon_password "password" would obviously be for rcon.

If your hosting the server on your pc. You don't need rcon, you just run a command.

Also if you wanna be lazy, just rename the "Server.cfg.sample" into "Listenserver.cfg" and that will set you up with the default server settings, and you can change what you want.
