This section is just to help you with questions you may wish to be anwsered - here it goes.. If you have an idea for another FAQ or need a general question anwsered please mail me it here O before i start how about checking Sprites guide to admining Counterstrike Games. Check it out here. Whats an alias? How Do i get a config to work? How do I exec a .cfg file? Where can I learn to do it myself? Can I join your team? How Do you use rcon in a game? Is it possible to use rcon in a game without joining it?     Q.Whats an alias? A. An alias is a series of commands put into less binds than what it normally would have taken and you can do multiple commands on one alias.     Q.How do I get a config to work? A.Each config has a main file, this is normal stated in the readme. All you do is exec that file and your off.     Q.How do I exec a .cfg file? A.Two ways:- 1) In a game go to console and type exec configname.cfg which will load it straight away. 2) Open your autoexec.cfg file in either your HL, TFC or CS directory and at the bottom type exec configname.cfg and when you load the game the config should be tehre automatically     Q.Where can I learn to do it myself? A.What I would suggest is going to Zmalloc and have a look at thier excellent tuitials. It's for CS but if you want to use them in TFC just look in the TFC/client commands section of this website and it will tell you all the TFC commands you can usel there! Scripting is not too difficult if you start at the easy stuff and work your way up!     Q.Can I Join your team? A. Simple anwser - yes. We do ask a few things:- 1) You have a "reasonble" knowledge of scripting for HL or the respected mods TFC and CS. 2) You will submit a new config or an update every other week with something new. 3) YOU DO NOT at all times copy someone elses work and pass it off as your own. We are in fact looking for someone that can script in UT language at the moment so if you are click the link here and we'll see what we can do!     Q.How do you use rcon in a game? A. Simple. 1st you have to have the rcon password which the games server host or whoever will give you. Then when in game go into console and type the following. rcon_port 27015 (thats just the default port. Look at the server ip and it gives you say 194.93.134.51:27020. The bit you want to look at is the 27020 so basically you swap the 27015 from what I said to the 27020 if thats what the server ip sais) and then... rcon_password XXX (you get the password from whoever is giving you rcon access) After you have done that check one of the rcon command links for CS or UT and it will tell you the command and what it does.     Q.Is it possible to use rcon in a game without joining it? A. Yes but you don't get the view of whats going on. You have two options 1) Goto www.veterans.de and download thier TFC bot where you can watch the game via text in the program it provides and if you wish make that text viewable in an IRC room for others to view. 2) You can do it via console but if you try without connecting to server you get the message: "NET Ports: server 27015, client 27005 Server IP address 62.255.195.183:27015 Server IPX address 00000000:00010218eb04:27015 You must either be connected, or set the 'rcon_address' cvar to issue rcon commands " So basically what this is saying is type rcon_address XXX (change XXX with the server ip you wish to connect with including the address and the port) after that you can send rcon messages to server although this in no way lets you view the game.
