How do you password a server

[Joeteck]

add a password to your server?

I would like to make it private, and would need the password to connect to the server.

Also, how do you set the rcon password?

what is the correct syntax? The help file does not show it..


admin note:

please don't make thread titles like "how do I..." -- you waste people's time -- please state the full question.

You don't. That feature was rejected because the players and the developers do not want to wade through the server list bumping into 100 passworded servers because their server operators are too selfish and eliteist to have anyone else play on their server but are too lazy or clueless to give their friends the ipaddress to their server and keep it OFF the server list.

(I'm sure you're now going to argue about this: please don't: this has allready been discussed ad infinum)

You can do that. Disable public server announcement, give your friends the IP address.

Also, how do you set the rcon password?

The config file sure does though. Look through that.

Actually, it does not have it... I did a search for that command in the config file and its not there. Which is why I posted the request. Otherwise I would never have asked.

So what is the correct syntax?

I'm so glad you're willing to help.

In Nexuiz menu, go to settings / misc / advance settings: there you'll find the cvar searcher.

Type in:

*rcon*

(with wildcards).

That'll list all the cvars you need

Very nice!

Now when I set the cvars in the game, does it keep the same variables for the dedicated server as well?

[C.Brutail]

Nope. But you can use the saveconfig command to save your config file, so later you can look for it in that.

short answer, sort of... if they get saved in your config.cfg

but you should manually set all your server variables in your server.cfg

Ok... I set the server to be able to do 40 clients, both in the config.cfg and the server.cfg, yet it still shows 8, why?

did you leave it commented out? // means comment - i.e. it tells Nexuiz "do not read this line"

Also, 40 players? that's a bit high, most maps do not support over 16-18 well.
