Homeserver rcon and /r

[Im 'corneum]

Hey i got a new PC now but i forgot to backup my ddnet server,
how can i change the password without that its always changing randomly?
how can i activate rescue?

Just read what's inside autoexec_server.cfg file:

Code: Select all

# rcon (F2) passwords for admin. If you don't set one, a random one will be
# created and shown in the terminal window of the server.
sv_rcon_password ""

# Allow /rescue (also /r) command so players can teleport themselves out of freeze
sv_rescue 0

didnt work

and

Code: Select all

# Whether this is a test server and rcon cheats are allowed. Also indicated in
# the server type, which is:
# - "DDraceNetwork" for 0 (no cheats) and
# - "TestDDraceNetwo" for 1 (cheats)
sv_test_cmds 1

?

nope nothing

Please print the entire command line output of the server. Maybe you're editing the wrong config file.

well yeah this could be, i cant open a cfg file so i renamed it to txt, changed the lines, then changed it back to .cfg
when it didnt work i tried it again twice, but then it would alway be a txt file even if i changed it back to cfg....
sounds weird?

[deen]

Sounds wrong. Just right click on the autoexec_server.cfg and edit it with wordpad, notepad or something

If you're on Windows, you must allow explorer to show file extension.
