Game servers by the hour. Pay only when you play.

QuakeWorld server commands: maps, kick, ban and rcon

Your server has a web console on 2hours.gg that sends these commands for you. In game, nQuake and ezQuake need two lines once, then you put /rcon in front of each command:

/cl_crypt_rcon 0
/rcon_password YOURRCONPASSWORD

Without the first line the client encrypts rcon and the server answers Bad rcon_password. Sending many commands in a burst gets the same answer: the server allows a few per second.

Maps and match

  • /rcon map dm4: change map.
  • /rcon timelimit 20, /rcon fraglimit 50: match limits. 0 turns one off.
  • /ready: in Duel, 2on2 and 4on4, every player types it to start the match.

Players

  • /rcon status: everyone connected, with their user id.
  • /rcon kick 12: kick by user id from status, not by name.
  • /rcon addip 203.0.113.9: ban an address. /rcon listip lists the bans and /rcon removeip lifts one.
  • /rcon say hello: message everyone.

Bots

Bots are added in game by any player, not over rcon. They run on dm3, dm4, dm6 and e1m2.

  • /botcmd enable: turn bot mode on. The map restarts.
  • /botcmd addbot 10: add one bot, skill 0 to 20.
  • /botcmd fill: fill the server with bots.
  • /botcmd removeall: remove them.

What you cannot change live

  • The mode and the player slots are set when you deploy. To switch mode, deploy a new server.
  • Change the join password with Edit password on your server card, so the card and its connect line stay in step.
