Is there an in-game way to boot/kick players, rotate/restart maps, etc? There is a place to set adminpw in the cfgs, so I am thinking that this is like an rcon password? How do we use this? I was in a server and they were executing server commands by typing commands into chat (i am assuming after somehow entering the adminpw in to the game).

What Program are you using to host your server (SWBFII, BBO, DS Manager, or The Original Batch File)?

Yes there is. How to do it through the ingame chat, I don't remember.

BBO

Jaxter']BBO
Ok, You set the ADMIN PASSWORD on BBO and While you are Playing type:
/admin /login ADMINPASSWORD

Then you can Use any of the Commands in the SWBF 1.3 BETA Readme:
Readme File:

APril 15, 2005

Below are the list of Commands for running the BETA 1.3
Server remotely.


Remote Admin

Remote admin commands can be typed in game through the chat
system. Use global chat (ctrl-t) and start each command
with /admin. The first admin command must be /login unless
you are on the host. The admin password is set from the
command line with the /adminpw <password> option.

“/login <password>” – login as admin

“/waitlate” | “/nowaitlate” – turn on and off waiting for
late moves from clients

“/dropmap” – drop the specified map from the rotation or
the current map if no map is specified

“/addmap” – add a map to the rotation

“/nextmap” – skip to the specified map at the end of the
current game

“/players” – list the players in game

“/boot <player number>” – boot the specified player

“/endgame” – end the current game

“/say” – send an admin message to all players

“/maps” – list the maps in rotation

“/shutdown” – shutdown the server

“/bandwidth <kbps>” – set the hosting bandwidth

“/adminpw <password>” – change the admin password

Sample Dialog:
/admin /login yoda
-> logged in
/admin /players
-> 0 – ‘Drone’
-> 1 – ‘Lindsey’
-> 2 – ‘Duurrp’
-> 3 - ‘KonKushn’
-> 4 – ‘Stryker’
-> 5 – ‘Darth Sinical’
/admin /boot 0
-> booted

In addition to in game admin there is a “Terminal”
application for controlling servers. It is very minimal
but functional. All of the commands above can be entered
from the terminal but you must first connect using
the command ‘connect <ip address> | <host name>’.

Sample Dialog:
connect swbf005
-> hello
/admin /login yoda
-> logged in
/admin /maps
-> hot1i
/admin /addmap rhn2c
-> map added
/admin /endgame
-> game ended

Here are the mission names to use with /addmap

Maps endings:
a - Alliance (GCW)
i - Imperial (GCW)
r - Republic (CW)
c - CIS (CW)
1 - usually out in the open
2 - usually in a city

none of those map names are correct. Make sure you use the SWBF2 ones.

I wasn't telling him the maps... I was just Giving the EXACT Readme for SWBF Patch 1.3 BETA

Yea, just making sure he knew that.
Oh Ok, I thought that was Directed towards me.

I made a colour 2 page quickreference for ingame server administration to hand out to some of my co-admins and clanmates.. you can find it here:

CT

Nicely done.

Thanks zerted.. appreciation is appreciated :D

There also more server resources (thanks to posters like yourself) collected here: http://members.shaw.ca/carpaltunnal)

Is there a cmd for banning or only just booting? Yeah i know the readme doesn't mention it, but it was worth a shot. Thanks.

Well I mentioned this in its own thread, but no one seems to care, so I'll say it here too.

/admin /players is messed up.

Thanks for links to guides though!

Yeah the names scroll fast, i just do the command a few times just to see what number is then bam!...booted.

if the server is full, hit tab. The number of lines down the name is is their number. However if the server is not full this may not work, because is there are only 12 people on a server, that doesnt mean that the numbers are 1-12

Carpaltunnel:

Might I get permission from you to upload the PDF to our clan website if I give proper props to you for creation? Would be greatly appreciated. :)

Wow, I didn't even realize that I made the beta readme file. ;)

What do you mean you MADE it?

Just that my nick was mentioned in the example.

We did post a sticky about this... I even put together a text file. What happened?

A sticky? Who reads a sticky when there is a small "start a new thread" button to be pressed?
