how do you use rcon?

i want to have a local dedicated css server, and have the rcon password set

how do i on the client pc use rcon to be a local admin..

have dev console enabled.. cheers, also, how do you add maps to the dedicated server (using the steam version of the server)

say your rcon password is "steve"
first, in console type:

rcon_password steve

Then
you should be able to do rcon commands, to check if the rcon_password works, type the following:

rcon status

This should give you a status of the server. You can then from there use all the rcon commands. Google will give you a list of them somewhere.

As for maps, you'll have to manually add the maps to a folder in the source dedicated server folder in Steam. Not sure on map rotation, if it's anything like half-life dedicated server, there will be a maplist.txt you just need to add to.

"rcon /?" would help a lot!

what

you ideally need to know the all server setting commands, google them.
for basics theres

"rcon changelevel mapname"

"rcon sv_restart 1" = restartround

"rcon kick name"

"rcon quit" = restart server
