Hi there , by default fullscreen is set to yes in cod waw , you can change this by editing the line:

seta r_fullscreen "1" to seta r_fullscreen "0"


but to do this you need to close the game and edit the cfg

is there a way to bind buttons so while im playing i can press a button to go from fullscreen to half screen (to use admin rcon) then back to full screen ?


see if i simply use alt-tab or ctr-alt-del my game crashes,then i thought about the binds ppl use for FOV 80 and wondered if it would work for changing screen size ?


it will make admining my server a lot easier

can any one shed any light on how to do this ?
 
you cant your game has to be restarted for it to work
but if you want to try:
in console type
/bind "choose a key" toggle r_fullscreen 0,1

e.g /bind o toggle r_fullscreen 0,1
 
My cod:ww crashes when I alt+tab too but I have friends who have no problems. Doesnt really bother me now though as I only played it for 1 day.

Maybe it would be more hassle free to learn the commands and use console? For COD4 I have 1 key binded to logon to rcon 'bind F5 rcon logon password' and then type out the rest of the commands.
 
tried it didnt work :(

thx anyway


edit: will look into thatmarkf


what are the admin rcon commands ?
 
im having trouble trying to locate the damn config file.. -.-

EDIT: Nvm, did some googling and found the solution
 
ok i found the rcon commands but what is the exact bind to open console and enter the login command ?

the one markf posted didnt work :(
 
Why not just create a custom desktop shortcut. You will have to drop down console and type reconnect in as it wont allow you to join like in cod4 but it does still work. :)

I always use one which logs me into rcon + private slot never had a prob.... As for rcon commands, i just type them straight into console. ;)


Custom Desktop Shortcut

This creates a custom shortcut directly to your server, gives you rcon, and puts you in a private slot if you have that configured in your server.cfg.

Right click your MP desktop shortcut and choose Copy.
Right click your desktop and choose Paste.
Right click your new shortcut and choose Rename.
Rename it to w/e you want it to be called.
Right click the shortcut and choose Properties.
In the Target field you will see this:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe"
At the very end, after the quote mark, click there so you have a blinking cursor, then hit space one time.
Copy this and paste it in:
+rcon login ***** +password ***** +connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:28960"
It should look like this when done:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +rcon login ***** +password ***** +connect xxx.xxx.xxxx:28960"
Note: Replace the *****'s with your passwords for rcon and private slot. Replace the x's with your server IP.
Note: This will take you right into the server with the last profile you selected in multiplayer.
Note: Also note that you can edit in the IP and Port and share this as is, the rcon and password settings will be ignored.[/LEFT]

haha yup now it works silly me didnt read that part :P


well unfortunately ive still got a problem, my rcon commands wont work , i know im using the correct pass word but nothing happens


if i open console using tilde key

then type

rcon login mypass


nothing happens, maybe the login process has changed with cod waw ?
 
Dude, did you follow the process above? If you did and you have added the
Code: 
+ rcon login XXXXXX
to your shortcut, that logs you into rcon already. no need to login again and risk the chance of miss typing and broadcasting the rcon pass to the server. (yes i've seen it happen on other servers) :D

Try testing it using the /rcon say [your message here without the brackets] command

:)
 
well i was trying rcon map_restart and nothing was happening

ive followed the above intructions to the letter so,as you say really i should be logged in but the commands wont work lol

I'll try that say command now


edit: ah it does work lol, its just the map_restart thats not working

how do i find the player id numbers so i can kick by id rather than typing the name out ?


thanks for the help btw , very much appreciated :)

when doing the map_restart command you did put /rcon in front so the server knows its an rcon command didn't you?

/rcon status is what you wanting. :)

A good rcon tool that fully supports codww along with all the other cod games is this...

http://www.cod-rcontool.com/modules.php?mod=download

My personal favourite is Rconmax is in beta atm, but only available to supporters so wait for that to become final.:)
 
thanks V R , yeah i already use rcontool 10 but have trouble minimizing the screen to use it coz my game crashes or it disconnects me from the server, i often use the laptop to connect to it while i play but the wifes been hoggin that lately to do the xmas shopping lol
 
Also try /rcon fast_restart to restart the map without it reloading.

Other rcon commands:

/rcon map mapname
Loads the map specified by mapname.

/rcon map_rotate
Loads next map in rotation set in sv_maprotation.

/rcon serverinfo
Shows the current server's settings.

/rcon map_restart
Restarts the map.

/rcon kick [name]
Kicks a player by name from the server.

/rcon clientkick [id]
Kicks a player by client id from the server.

/rcon tatus
Displays info of all the players on the server.

/rcon banUser [name]
Bans a user by their ingame name. Writes their GUID to ban.txt

/rcon banClient [id]
Bans a user by their client number. Writes their GUID to ban.txt

/rcon tempBanUser [name]
Kicks and temporarily bans player by name from server.

/tempBanClient [id]
Kicks and temporarily bans player by client id from server

/rcon unban [name]
Unban every player banned with [name]. If you want to unban a single player whose name appears more than once, you should edit "ban.txt" manually.

/rcon tell [id]
Sends private message to specified client id

Thanks for all the info so far guys its been very helpfull indeed

ive go my rcon commands pretty much sorted now, but can i ask how i can use binded messages in console mode ?

let me explain....

you can bind you own messages cant u in cfg_mp


summat like:

bind 7 "Say_Team use rcon plane plz !"


But if i wanted to open console then paste a message in from my pre-written binds how would i do that ? ,ive already tried just pressing the button but obvioulsy theres a different command for that


it all comes down to autobalance being broken on our SnD server, i have auto messages spamming messages to keep the teams even but obviously some players cant read, i joined the other night to find 26v6 lol

i want to spam something like:

bind F1 "say ^1FIX TEAMS PLZ ! OR PPL START GETTING KICKED UNTIL THEY ARE EVEN !"

but doing it throught console, obvioulsy i dont want to type this out every time because im lazy :p


any way of doing that through console ?
 
Sorry been away for the weekend...

Easiest thing to do would be to set an rcon say bind.

Change...

bind F1 "say ^1FIX TEAMS PLZ ! OR PPL START GETTING KICKED UNTIL THEY ARE EVEN !"

to....

bind F1 "rcon say "^1FIX TEAMS PLZ ! OR PPL START GETTING KICKED UNTIL THEY ARE EVEN !"

then it will be shown as 'console' saying it. Like:

Code: 
 Console: [COLOR=Red]FIX TEAMS PLZ ! OR PPL START GETTING KICKED UNTIL THEY ARE EVEN ![/COLOR]
