Rcon command to list players on server?


(Shinjorai) #1

Ok im still struggling to use the text based rcon i can now kick players by using the “rcon admin kick #” command but i still dont know how to find out what number in the list is associated with what name.

I tried ““rcon serverInfo”” command but it lists my current config settings and not the players on the server. I was just curious what command u used to show u the number associated with the player so i can kick to make spots for friends on the server etc.

I just tried “listcliententities” also and it seems to be the same command as “serverinfo”. I did notice at the bottom after all the config info, it says client 0 and client 1 but theres no name associated with either and then just :: and no further clients (players) listed. Very confused, i looked through all the commands and i cant find anything unless im missing something.

You describe exactly my problem!

I read somewhere that

“rcon admin kick” -> followed by a space and the tab button should display a list of players !?

But this does not work for me !
I just hope for a command such as “listplayers” … :frowning:

Actually remove rcon, just use admin kick followed by a space and hit the tab key, it will work.

Then use the rcon admin kick #

I talked to my friend serenade last night on steam and he told me what u just posted about I tested this and it works. Thanks for the reply.

I also suggest making an autoexec.cfg file with the following to keep from having to log into the rcon each time.

seta net_clientRemoteConsoleAddress IP:PORT

seta net_clientRemoteConsolePassword PASSWORD

This way you dont have to type the long command everytime, The path for the autoexec is as follows.

C:\Steam\userdata\56791180\22350\local\base\Autoexec.cfg

hope this helps anybody else having this issue.

You may or may not know this about entering console commands. I find it super handy…

Start typing the command and hit TAB. It will try to auto-complete what you are entering. Hitting tab spits out a list of all the command and cvars that start with whatever you have already typed.

So you can type net_client and hit tab and it will show you everything that starts with net_client. Then add a R and hit TAB again and you get everything that starts with net_clientR.

Hope that makes sense. It makes entering those uber long and obscure cvars much easier.

I tried putting that in an autoexec and it doesn’t work for me. I’m using Funk’s idea with usergroup stuff…

make sure on the autoexec it doesnt have quotation marks around the password and ip also double check the path where the autoexec.cfg is but ive tested this and it works fine.
