About This File
Overview:
This is a program designed to allow Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare &
Call of Duty: World at War server admins the ability to monitor and control their
game servers remotely, without having to be in-game playing.
AGrcon is an adaptation of the popular CoD4 Rcon utility, ModernRcon. Those of
you who have used ModernRcon may recognize the easy-to-use and feature-rich
interface.
Requirements:
Java
- latest version recommended
- www.java.com
Usage:
Just run the AGrcon executable in any Windows environment.
IMPORTANT: Vista users, you may have to run AGrcon as Administrator if you have the
"User Account Control" enabled. Right-click AGrcon and choose "Run as Administrator."
ALSO IMPORTANT: AGrcon requires a FRESH INSTALL from previous version of ModernRcon.
If you previously had ModernRcon installed, all your server data will need to be re-
populated into AGrcon. This is for security purposes, and I apologize for any
inconveniences it causes. ModernRcon *.svr files are NOT compatible with AGrcon.
