CS:S Config Help - Pausing Game

Pain · 11 Jan 2007 at 03:52

Hi,

My friends and I regularly play CS:S 5 of us v 5 others. We normally keep the server.cfg with the pause setting (sv_pausable) set to 1 for on, but many people have been taking advantage of it by keep pausing and unpausing all the time, so we have changed the setting to 0, so now the game cannot be paused.

Is there a way to pause the game via the mani-mod menu? I have made a config for my own use, but would like one so that if I am not around, those that do have admin rights on the server can pause the match if needed via the mani mod menus.

btw the .cfg I have made looks like

rcon_password **********
sv_pausable 1
wait
wait
wait
pause
sv_pausable 0

Thanks!

Easier said then done. For those of you who don't know CS:S is a good game that probably has the most immature community around.

can you not do it with rcon? somthing like, recon pause 1 (i might add that i dont no the exact command or ne thing) but in theory?
and so only the admins and watnots, will know the password and then they are the only ones who can pause or not pause?....

or does it not work that way?

Need to press the pause button on your keyboard and it will pause the game. I suggest going to enemydown.co.uk and downloading MR15 match config and it will set everything up for you. Then login to rcon via console then type exec configname replace config name with what ever the file i called

. Bind the command sv_pasuable 1 to a a button then press it and then press pause when needed and then change it back in console.

Thats exactly what I am trying to do

. I only want admins to be able to pause the server.

Indeed, bind 2 buttons for yourself saying

bind "whichever letter" "rcon_password YOURPASSWORD ; rcon sv_pausable 1"

THEN press pause if you wish to pause

THEN

bind "whichever letter apart from the first one you bound" "rcon_password YOURPASSWORD ; rcon sv_pausable 0"

Then they cant pause.

May have got the 0's and 1's the wrong way

I am guessing this will work, but as another poster said, just play against normal people.
