Topic: [HELP] rcon not working (host)

I got my server working for a few private games with some guys and it's working fine in that they can connect and we can play etc etc. The thing is, when I enter the rcon password ingame, it keeps coming up with "Wrong Password" (even though I've set it to something in the server cfg and am entering the right one ingame).

Anyone encountered and/or fixed this problem?

If there weren't a password, you'll see 'No sv_rcon_password' or something like that.
Someone must have change it.

That can't be it-- I'm the only one with control over the server. Maybe I should rephrase; I have the rcon password set in my config file. When I enter that rcon password ingame via sv_rcon_password, it always returns "Wrong Password". So say I have it as 'test' in my config, I enter 'test' ingame and it returns "Wrong Password".

Are you telling me you enter 'sv_rcon_password yourpassword' in the rcon ?!

You just have to enter your rcon, not the entire command.

write sv_rcon_password abc in your .cfg file; check for spelling mistakes
check your console, if your configuration is loaded correctly.
then press F2 for rcon and type in your rcon_password

Thanks guys, didn't realise it was that easy. Used to the source engine and having to input the command every time.
