I personally recommend HLSW and I use it daily to administer my server. You can do any of the internal RCON commands. Some people like to use other programs....but to help those who don't know how to do RCON commands unless they are in the game.....here ya go:
First, go download the latest version of HLSW here: http://www.hlsw.net/index.php?page=downloa...p;category=hlsw
Once you have it installed, you need to configure it. I will show you an example of how to setup HLSW to work with SoF2. Do the following and this should help get you started.
Click Server List
Click New
Change File Name to SoF2
Change Name to SoF2
Click OK
Now you have a special area setup for the SoF2 servers. Now, let's continue the configuration so that you can browse for SoF2 servers on the internet.
Click Server List
Click Properties
Click on Gamers Search Server List
Click on Gamers Search (at the top of the window)
Now select Soldier of Fortune 2 on the drop down menu
Click OK
Press F6
You have configured HLSW to show you SoF2 servers that are active and on the internet. Now, let's configure HLSW where you can do RCON commands.
Click View
Check RCON Section
Check Server List
Check Rules
Check Player Name
Check Toolbar
Check Status Bar
Check Ping Graph
Check Display colors in player and server names
Now, let's find your game server.
Click Server
Click Find.....Server Name
In the top bar...where the cursor is blinking....enter your server name (like {VOD})
Once you found your server.....highlight the entry
Now, let's enter your RCON password.
Enter the RCON password in the block at the bottom
Click Test
Check the box for Save
If you entered the correct password, it will tell you....and you will also see a Star appear beside your server in the main window. Now, lets enter a RCON command.
Just below where you entered your RCON password, you will see a tab that says Console.....click it.
In the bar at the bottom type this for a test: /pb_sv_writecfg
You should see the command and the reply displayed in the status window.
Well there ya go.....now ya have SoF2 done.....now ya can press on with the other games that you have. What I did was even made my own personal list....and copied all of the servers there that I use frequently.
Any questions.....thoughts....or suggestions?
