Server Passwording / Restarting

[baud]

I admin a q3a server (1.27h) for my clan. Is there a way to password a server on the fly? I try to set g_needpass to 1 (with rcon) and it tells me that it's read-only.

Should I make a config that will password the server, and another that will remove it, or does the server have to be restarted?

Also, is there a way to restart the server remotely, using only rcon? I use VNC but I've been having problems with the mouse (it won't click on anything, and everything else up getting deselected, and I can't use the system anymore).

Lovely id changed the way this mechanizm works in 1.27 (can you tell I think the it sucks now? - hehe ).

All you need do is change the g_password variable to "" to un-password protect it and change it to a password when you want it password protected, Q3 will autoflip the g_needpass var now.

Start-up a game server with rcon alone, hmmmm and LoL, just how are you going to start up a game by a mechanism that isn't running yet? NO you can't do that http://gameadmins.com/ubb/wink.gif There are other programs that can do this by remote control though besides VNC (a fine program). http://gameadmins.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
