This document contains a fairly detailed list of RCON Commands available for Server Administrators. It is by no means complete, but should contain 75% of everything you need to know. For those areas not included in the document itself, links have been provided to various other guides specific to server administration issues (i.e. PunkBuster, Custom Servers, Mod installation/usage, Project Ares (PAM) mods, etc.). I am planning to add most of that information to this guide, especially PunkBuster configurations, so as to provide a centralized location for such information, but alas, that takes time so look for those updates in the near future.

 

Over the course of the next few weeks/months, I will be making modifications to the information contained in this document to include detailed descriptions of each command and cvar, as well as additional information pertaining to Server Administration (i.e. installation, setup, and maintenance).

 

If you have any questions, comments, or specific information you would like to see, please feel free to contact me directly and I will do my best to accommodate your needs.

 

Thanks!
