change game mode?

NightLinks · May 13th, 2009, 01:44 PM

Hello,

I have setup my l4d server public but i want to know how players are able to change the game mode? When i connect to the server through steam group i can't change the game mode at all.

Are you using rcon to change the game mode?

Code:

rcon_password "password_here_no_quotes"
rcon sv_gamemode "gamemode_here_no_quotes" (versus, survival, or coop)

If you don't have an rcon password set up, add this line to your servers config file:

Code:

rcon password "password_with_quotes"

Thank you for the reply but not the answer i was looking for.

I want to know how players are able to change the game mode in the server? Players that connect through lobby.

Oh. Sorry, read it wrong. I do that all the time with my server. If you force connect to it, it will change to whatever game/map the lobby leader specifies. Just how the game works. I'm assuming it does this regardless of manually connecting. If a lobby joins your server, it will use whatever settings the lobby is using.

Completely incorrect, first of all "sv_gamemode" does not exist. Second of all, "rcon password 'password_with_quotes'" will change the password of the server, not the rcon_password, it should be "rcon_password 'password_with_quotes'".

Could you please post the solution NightLinks so that people who find this thread can know the solution? (It is the first result on Google)

I know mp_gamemode changes the game mode on Left 4 Dead (1), but Left 4 Dead 2 has no such command.

change game mode?
