JK2 rcon commands on BW servers

[old.AntiPop]

Help!

The situation is this, we have a rented BW server and want to use it for JK2, only problem is the only option when setting the server is "default modes".

For our clan games we need to be able to:

1) restart the map with same teams (reset timer/score/equipment basically)

2) change the map without a vote

3) set the server to "saber only" mode

I have know idea what the rcon codes are for these 3 actions and the ones I've tried so far (/map_restart) dont appear to work (/map restart gives me the error "not connected to server" even though I have put in the /rcon password "pass" correctly).

Can anybody who HAS eperience with these and KNOWS what to do please help out, we have our first match tonight and I'm really hoping I can get this sorted. Additional comments on how to use the rcon would also be a great help.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

/rcon map_restart

/rcon map <mapname> e.g ffa_bespin ctf_bespin ctf_imperial etc

saber only mode I dunno off the top of my head, I'll go and reasearch it for you m8

The RCON basically means remote control (or remote console, i can never remember). The reason it was firing back the "server not running" (or something like that) error is because any command you feed the consol without the RCON prefix happens locally

e.g. "/map ffa_bespin" would start a local server on your machine but "/rcon map ffa_bespin" would change the map on the server

Hope this helps

Ok nailed the saber thing for you:

Gametypes and what they mean.

/rcon g_gametype <number>

0=Free For All
1=Holocron
2=Jedi Master
3=Duel
5=Team Free For All
7=Capture the Flag
8=Capture the Ysalimari

Weapondisable info
g_weapondisable 0 enables all weapons
g_weapondisable 65531 disables all but the saber


For more commands poke arround this thread:

*NOTE* I've not tested these commands and i'm a little sceptic about the "g_weapondisable 65531" command. Surly g_weapondisable 1 should do the job, i dunno
