[hlds] TF2: rcon stops working

2011-12-10 Thread Brian
When I set a the rcon_password in console to use on my server, it seems to stop working after the first command, or some length of time. Eg I do rcon_password password rcon exec etf2l then play some… then when wanting to go the next map I try rcon changelevel cp_snakewater … and it does

Hello, Are you using a server.cfg to store settings like rcon password and other server settings? If you have one, make sure the rcon password does match the one in config. After loading a new map, the config will be executed. If you change rcon password in console, it will revert back to

Thanks for the help guys, I will try what you suggest. However, I still don't see why this issue arises if the client still has the correct password stored (cf. autocompleted value). Granted, the RCON connection may be reset, but if the password is saved then it should be able to re-establish it

When you send the password initially, the server sees you as an admin and allows rcon commands from you. Your client doesn't send the rcon password every time you send a command, and you don't need to retype it before every command. Obviously the server resets it's admin list when the rcon list
