USING THE CONSOLE ----------------The executable 'console.

exe' found in the main game directory is used to remotel y control a running IGI2 game server, dedicated or non-dedicated. It can be run from any computer. - Open a 'DOS-window' and change directory to the main game directory where cons ole.exe is located. - Enter console <ip> <port>, where ip and port specifies the server you want to access. For example console 127.0.0.1 26002 would try to access a game server running at ip 127.0. 0.1 and port 26002. - You should now see the IGI2> prompt, and the application will ask you to enter a password. This password is the *rcon password*. Just enter the password alone and press enter. - To test if you really have access now, try a simple and harmless command, like : 'lo timeout'. You should get the current timeout value from the server in return. - When you access the server from the console, you are considered to actually en ter your commands directly on the server. In the command section below you will see commands described as only working i f entered from the server, i.e. not from a client. All those commands will also work fro m the console. - The server will remove you from its console user list if you idle for too long . If this happens, the console will ask you to re-enter the password before you can enter other c ommands. - Type 'exit' to end the console session, or press CTRL-C. - The server may lose some of your commands. Re-issue a command if you are not c orrectly prompted. - Here are a few examples of commands. You will all commands in the COMMANDS sec tion further below: sv listmaps - Lists all available ma ps. Note the number before the name, the mapID. sv gotomap <mapID> - Changes map to <mapID> sv restartmap - Restarts currently played map. lo activatemap <mapID> - Adds the map to the play list. lo deactivatemap <mapID> - Removes the map from the play list. sv gotonext - Changes map to the nex t map in the play list. lo announce("HELLO"); - Says HELLO (or anything you want) to a ll players on the server. lo serverpass - Displays the password needed t o join the server.

lo serverpass("BANANA"); - Sets the password to BANANA. lo serverpass(""); - Removes any password rendering the server free for all to join. sv finger - Lists all players on t he server. Note the first number, the playerID. sv kick <playerID> ID out of the server. - Kicks player with given player

sv ban <playerID> - Adds the IP of player to the b an list. sv listban - Lists all addresses cu rrently banned. sv unban <listnumber> - Removes ban from given address. First run 'sv listban' to get the list number. COMMANDS -------How to enter them and how to understand the list ------------------------------------------------ Asterix (*) indicates that remote control privilleges are needed to run the fo llowing command. - Do not enter the asterix nor any brackets([]). - Make sure you enter semi-colons(;) and quotes(") where indicated. Also make su re: *no space* between command and any following paranthesis. - Examples of valid commands as entered in the console: sv sv sv sv lo rcon("somepass"); kick 3 unban 1 suicide moneystart 3400
