Hey all. I'm more of a browser at halomods than a participater, but i've recently had a problem come up. I run a dedicated server for my clan =SA=. Lately we've had problems with people screwing around with the rcon commands. Now i don't mind people having the password so they can do what they want or need to do, but recently someone has decided to go by an alias and start banning our members.......
Anyway (sry for long explanation) I was wondering if there is a way to log what rcon commands are issued and who issues them.

if tis running on ure system wat u need to do is go into your halo server folder, and in the init text and change the rcon, if its not then i reccomend contacting whoever is running the server

well, we found the culprit (he tricked a guy on our team into thinking he was me lol

). But we have had problems in the past with our own members causing some bullshit by changing maps prematurly and a few other things. I guess noones really ever had a need for it. Curious, would one be able to write an app. in VB that might be able to log the rcon commands? I have learned VB in the past, but would have to do an extensive refreshing of my memory. I've been wanting to go through these tuts anyway, but it'll still take more time to do something like that (if you even can).

Cant remember the exact thing. But if you use my Haloded program, it enables the code to do that. So on your screen, while your running the server, you can look back in it. And it says who used rcon, and I think it shows what they did

isn't that for setting up dedicated servers on your own machine and writing the init? I'm renting a server and i know bout the init.

Ok. You cant check on the server, if your not running the server. Because your using rcon to acsess it, your not using the command promt. So you cant do this.
But anyway heres the code
Code: Select all
sv_log_enabled 1
sv_log_echo_chat 1
