@ Toitoinne: Nothing against you, but you don't have to aks for everything here(I'm talking about the gametype question now ). There are good FAQs and and a documentation available, so please, if you have a new problem, look in there first, and try to solve the problem that way. If you can't find a solution, please use the search function: Often a lot of other people have had the same problems before, and there are threads that offer solutions for those problems. Finally, if you still can't find any solution, of course we are very pleased to help you, but if you do what I mentioned above, the people that try to help others here do not have to answer the same questions over and over again, please keep that in mind
For example, the solution to the problem of changing the gametype can easily be found in the official documentation

Why do you create those files in the teeworlds configuration folder? Do it in the normal teeworlds application folder, this should solve your problem.

@ Scream.!*: No, what you are asking for is not possible. Demo files are not files of a video format, they just contain snapshot information. The Teeworlds client then renders the "video" from this data. The only possible solution to "convert" a demo to a video is the above mentioned one: Play the demo in teeworlds and record it with the capturing program of your choice. Usually that would be fraps or something.

@Bananbl4: Has been suggested countless times, won't be done in nearer future.

i'm using version 0.27, and I'm quite sure, put the correct rights, but I'll check it again.

//EDIT: Ah, you were right, the reason was that the rights for the tmp folder were not put correctly, thx a lot

Thank You very much! This is indeed needed. I already tried it out, but I get get an error when trying to start a server: "An unknown Error occurred ...".... I have no idea, were this comes from....

@ Dune: Please read before posting crap. Of course it is possible to access the cron while connected to the server as a client. But this is not what this is all about. AddiKT1ve wants to create a "program" that can manage servers from outside(meaning starting, stopping and so on). And one feature he'd like to add is rcon access. Thus he needs the possibilty to send rcon commands from the "outside" and not from the original teeworlds client. As far as I know the only possibility for this is using the patch i linked to before(or of course write your own modifiaction to the teeworlds server).

I was not able to take a look at it yet, because you uploaded it on rapidshare. Please upload it smewhere else, as rapidshare only allows very restricted downloads to non premium mebers, and is overstrained at the moment. However, your patch won't get implemented anyway, if it is written for 0.5.x sources, as this is not the version teeworlds is developed from, currently. If you want supply patches for the next release, adjust them to the sources in the refactor branch(which is going to be the next release). And of course you don't have the rights to upload on the svn repository, if everyone had, guess what shit some people might do... . Finally I'm not really sure if this is needed, because your "trigger buttons" which you described above, are almost the same that can be achieved using the exec commad.

Example:

mode_1.cfg:

bind p exec "mode_2.cfg";bind mouse1 "+fire;emote 2"

mode_2.cfg:

bind p exec "mode_1.cfg";bind mouse1 +fire

and in console:

exec mode_1.cfg

This will result in exactly the same functionality, as you described it.

About the general thing: I don't think it is neccessary, the only thing you have in advantage to using normal binds is that you have a description. As you probably would define your own actions, you should know what they do anyway(and if you bind them, you don't see the description anymore, so no need for it).

Also I believe, like grummi, that recursions are possible, the way he described it. I don't think there is a way to get around it here.

All in all my opinion is, it should not be included.

Well, maybe it helps some people, also i doubt it will, as caotic as it is structured, and there are just too many things one will never need. Also ayu is right, don't provide it as a exe file (self extracting archive). Rather pack it as .rar or zip!

This is simply wrong. The ping of a server (and with that it's quality in terms of lags) depends mostly on the server's bandwidth and the player's distance to this server. But it is never affected by the number of other servers. Please keep to the facts when creating topics like yours.

About the post in general:
As Tee Killa allready said, there is not much one can do about it. Everybody is free to create his own clan, and everybody is free to create his own server. Anything other than this would not comply with the idea of teeworlds, and thus it should be kept like this. If you don't like some servers, because you considere them "bad" just don't play on them. If all the other people think like you in that manner, and don't play on that server,  the hoster is likely to shut it down anyway. Also i seriously doubt anybody would leave teeworlds because of too many "bad" mods. Every person that is not completly dumb will just not play the mods, instead of leaving teeworlds.

Once there was a project which tried to create a quality standard for maps. I don't know if it still exists, I think it was called TQ (Meaning TeeQuality), or something similar. The general idea was that people could send in maps, and the project management decided on if the map conformed with the standards. All maps that did conform were then listed in the first topic so they could be viewed easily by everybody. I believe the project management consisted of official mappers, developers and very good mappers of the community (I think Chi1 was beyond them).

In my opinion it would be a great idea to revive this project and maybe to extend it's scope to mods(not sure about that though).

You need to tell us, what exactly your problem is. Is the problem related to your map, does it not load or anything? if so, you should look, if it is in the correct folder (data/maps). Or is you problem server related, meaning you can join your server, but others can't, or anything similar. In that case you need to make sure your firewall let's through the port you specified in your .cfg file, and that you forward the port from your router to your pc. From your post I don't really get, what your problem is, so in future try to tell exactly about your problem. Also use the search function, before posting questions, that others might have asked before(There are 1000s of threads about problems with creating servers and maps).

Again, you can't send parameters to a running programm, that is simply not possible, and should not be! All you can do is send data to a specified address(in your case probably localhost/127.0.0.1) on a specified port. But the program must have a routine that recieves this data, and interprets it. To achieve this you have to use network functions. Exactly this is done in the patch, it adds support for telnet connections to the teeworlds server. If the server recieves data (via telnet with the port you specified and so on...) it processes it, meaning if it is a correct rcon command it executes this command, otherwise it will send you a message back, that you have entered an invalid command. So what you need to do is apply this patch to teeworlds and add some code to your program that lets it work as a telnet client(at least sort of).
So if you want your teeworlds server be controlled by another program, while allready running the only solution for you is to dig deeper into how network coding works, so you can let your program connect to the teeworlds server(protocol should be tcp/ip) and this way execute commands there. There is no other practicable way of doing this. I doubt the teeworlds community can help you much more with this issue, as we allready have told you about a (probably the best) solution. If you have further more questions about how to realize this whole networkthing i suggest you to read a tutorial on networkprogramming for your programming language(C#, if I understand your topic correctly), and for further questions ask in a forum that deals with this language, the'll probably be able to help you better, as those questions are probably not really tw specific.
