I can't seem to get the rcon password to work. I have it set in pwd.cfg, but when I start ezquake and try to log-in it says bad password.


Also...What's k_admincode?

cl_crypt_rcon 0

k_admincode let you specify a password for a player to gain admin rights.
Several possibilities:

Password is alpha numeric
set k_admincode "1337pwdhaha"

User then has to use "admin 1337pwdhaha"

Password is numeric AND contains 6 digits
set k_admincode "477238"

User then has the option to:
type "admin" then use bound impulses corresponding to the numbers in the password: switch to ng, switch to rl, switch to rl, swith to sg, swith to sgg then finally switch to lg
type "admin" then type the numbers 1 by 1 in console: "4" "7" "7" "2" "3" "8"
set an alias xxxx "impulse 4;wait;impulse 7;wait;impulse 7;wait;impulse 2;wait;impulse 3;wait;impulse 8" and use it
or just ype "admin 477238"

admincode is not rcon though?

Nope.

Up2 already gave the answer for why he can't use rcon, and he did also ask what k_admincode was

To be precise, client and server value must match so

cl_crypt_rcon = sv_crypt_rcon

ah yeah i didn't see the admincode question

Better to set sv_crypt_rcon 1 on server (MVDSV) and cl_crypt_rcon 1 on client (ezQuake) - more secure.
