<h2>Using RCON Commands</h2>

RCON stands for Remote Console. This article is a guide on using RCON on Counter Strike Source servers. RCON should be given to 1 admin for every 10 player slots on a server.

A tool to simplify RCON use is HLSW - http://www.hlsw.org/download/mirrors/69

==Log into RCON==
In order to use RCON, you need to access the console in game using the ~ button. Once open, you need to set the RCON password on your computer before you can send commands to the server. Simply enter "rcon_password mypass". To check and make sure it worked, type rcon status. If you get a printout of server status, youre logged into RCON! <br>

==RCON Commands List==

Before you can use commands, you should know what a CVAR is. CVAR stands for control variable. CVARs consist of 2 parts, the control item, and the setting for that item. For settings, 0=off and 1=on, and some accept any number (time limits, and start money).
Example: mp_friendlyfire 1
The mp_friendlyfire is the control item you are setting, and you are setting it to 1 (on).
