Well, from ingame, even not connected to the server you should be able to connect to rcon
open console type rcon_address 111.111.111.111:27015 (Your IP obviously) type rcon_password ****** (Your password) then type rcon exec test.cfg in test.cfg just have 'echo hi' or something, so you can see if its executing scripts. Make sure you put rcon_password "something" in your startup paramaters, that way you can be sure its loading the password even if it doesnt load the server.cfg On a side note, try opening your server.cfg in notepad and saving it, sometimes wordpad and MSword can screw them up and put in weird hidden characters On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 12:36 PM, William Kerr<[email protected]> wrote: > > could you be more specific on what you mean by connect to rcon and try and > execute another script in that directory? > >> Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:31:15 +1200 >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [hlds] server.cfg not executing >> >> uncomment sv_lan 0 you will need that on. >> >> As for the not loading part. >> >> Can you connect to rcon and try and execute another script in that directory. >> >> On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 12:22 PM, William Kerr<[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> > Ok, here is one that is give me alot of trouble.
