Changing maps out of game

Muttley · **Changing maps out of game -** 12-13-2002, 04:21 AM

Does anyone know if there is a way to change a map on a server without actually entering the game,the reason for this is...

We booked a Barry server as normal and all was going well until we changed the map to tirtagen-kechtat(which we play every week no problems)but we all got kicked out and no one could get back in so we couldn't change the map,so i went to ASE and changed it that way but with spearhead iv'e used the great tutorial to get it to show up on ASE but the Barry's world servers don't show up on ASE so i was wondering if there was another way to change maps or how to get Barry's world servers to show up on ASE.

I hope this makes sense ! cheers.

Why dont you just run crowkings `auto-kick`, that way you just bang in the IP number and rcon password and the servers yours remotely?

ok, Can you change maps in Crowkings Autotkick, i dont think so, it mainly to observer your server for player, ex: To kick or ban.
I have been using it for a while now, if tehre is a way to change maps with it, please tell me. But i dont think you can.

It's cool John, you didn't say it wrong, Wolf jumped to conclusions too fast. biggrin:

Anyways, if the server is dedicated, can't you just enter console commands into the MOHAA_SERVER.EXE console box? I'm not certian, but guessing. It can be done though.

he could do that, but the server is running remotely, a rented server, at least that is what i have gotten from his post. But to answer the question, without actually going into the srver to change the map, yes it is possible.

Open Spearhead.
Open console
type "rconaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" without the " where x = ip
type "rconpassword xxxxxxxxx" without the " where x = password
type "rcon map whichever map you want"

and walla, the map is now changed.

lol auto-kick does everything, even makes the tea...

Ok click `commands` then `other` and insert which map you want in the box like this...

map obj/obj_team1

When you click `send` and the map changes you will be on whatever map you chose, even omaha (and I can tell your a huge omaha fan)

Excellent Idea, but if you you don't want to type this everytime you connect to the game create a rcon.cfg file, add the above lines to it.
rconaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
rconpassword xxxxxxxxx
Save the file as rcon.cfg and put the file in your MOH main folder.
Make sure when you load the game you have the rcon.cfg file run when you click on your shortcut. Do that by rightclicking on the shortcut, select properties and add this line to shortcut path: +exec rcon.cfg

Bulls Rcon guide on this site is really helpful, in setting it up:

Once you start the game you will be automatically connected to your server as an admin. Type in the console:
rcon status

and you'll see who's playing.

I use a couple things to do this. First you can use the console out of the game as mentioned above. I have done that, works fine. I also use All Seeing Eye you can do all rcon commands with it (and you dont have to type rcon before the commands either). I also use Counter Intelligance. It lists the maps. You just dbl click on the map you want and it loads it. It can be found at http://www.invisiblewarriors.com - Author BlackBart -
