set refereepassword “****”

sooo how do i make it work???i have the pass set in the server .cfg and now i wanna give the pass out… but when i join the game and the pass is in my .cfg i dont see a difference, i.e… no referee menu… do i need to allow voteing?? i dont wanna do that… so any help would be great thanks

the referee must “login in” once inside the game. This is done with the \ref command. Everyone will see a msg saying “WolfPlayer has become a Referee”. That person will have access to all the votes (votes always pass), plus a few other features.

/rcon ref login
or is there another way of logging in??
thanks again

No, dude. It’s just:

“/ref <passwd>”

You can get a help menu by doing /ref help. Also, when you hit <ESC>, your vote button will be replaced with a “referee” button that will let you do handy stuff like select players to kick, players to move to other teams, lock the game, etc.

And I don’t know why, but the phrase “Wolfplayer has become a referee” just scares the ever loving schnikeys out of me. :eek:

So is there anyway to run ref commands on the server console?

There is a ‘ref’ console command, but all it does iis list ref commands that can’t be
used.

You can use them once you login as a ref.

/ref <passwd>

A whistle will blow and the server will be sent a message that you are now a referee.

And then you should be able to run:

/ref help

To get a list of the referee console commands.

It’s kind of the same deal as rcon… you have to type in /ref <action> whatever in order to use them.

Yeah, it’s possible to run /ref command in the client console, but I want to be able to do it in the server console (rcon). Doesn’t look like I’m going to get my way though :slight_smile:

I’ve been working on a referee web interface for ET, but currently you can only kick or ban since that’s all you can do from the server console. You can’t even see much current player detail (like class) from the server console. (sessionX cvars are always stale). Without current session cvars or teamcontrols, a remote referee interface isn’t too viable. Although I was able to keep my session cvars current with a perl script that watched the log (ack!)…
