urdead Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) Hey what is this? I'm in the game and our usual messages from the messages.cfg are poping in and out, and all of a sudden, i get this swearing in French! "Monde de Merde" is the phrase I see, and since I'm part French I recognized it for what it was. SO how did someone do this? I looked at the messages.cfg file and it hasn't been changed. Any ideas? TIA! Edited September 14, 2006 by urdead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfdoh Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Umm .. what mod are you using? What kind of messages are you speaking of, do you mean banners (can u give an example of that messages.cfg?) ? Change your rcon password, maybe someone got it who shouldn't have it. You also can check ur server logfiles for Rcon commands, there usually is an IP added which you can cross-check with all players .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urdead Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 We're talking about MOTD messages, defined in the messages.cfg. My question would then be if it's possible to even send MOTD messages to the server via Rcon commands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question would then be if it's possible to even send MOTD messages to the server via Rcon commands? Yes, its possible to change motd messages via rcon. I suggest you change your rcon pass and reboot your server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irn Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) What version of ET are you running ? If you havent already I would urge you to upgrade to 2.60b this is probably how they got your rcon PW There is some info here about it Click here Edited September 14, 2006 by irn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urdead Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Cool! Thanks for the pointer. We're running 2.60. I think though with this being a Windoze server, it sounds like that traversal woudl be a bit more fuitless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
