how to make youre self admin on your server (windows)

[snb]

ok im assuming you have windows so first you go to my computer

then you go to c:dirive files (not actully called that but ull notice it when you at my computer it is the only one with a C k?)

then go to programfiles once you go into the c files

then goto tremulous (dont worry its in alfabetical order if its not just keep looking for tremulous in programfiles)

then in tremulous go to the file that says base (you should have saved server.cfg in there)

click on that then go to edit and it says windows cannot open so there are two option in the message. one says go online the other says look for a program that you allready have to open

click the "look for a program that you allready have to open" one and click note pad or another wrighting thing for your computer and look for rcon password





then in the console (use the ~ button to bring it down) type in /rcon (your rcon password) !setlevel (your name) 5

Once you're connected run the following in the your client console:

/rcon YOUR_RCON_PASS !setlevel YOUR_NAME 5

You are now a level 5 administrator and as such you have all possible g_admin
administration rights.  Do /!help or say !help in your client to learn more.

What an ass, SeeNoButt had this answer alread in his thread he deleted...

[snb]

omfg asshole no i tried that and i coudn't change the server.cfg fucktard and  Rocinate you have to FUCKIN KNOW WHAT YOUR PASSWORD IS FIRST Thats the whole reason i posted that stuff i knew it told you some details but not all that you HAVE TO FRIGGEN KNOW! see thats the problem with you tutorial makers you dont put all the detials you leave out huge specifics

[Caveman]

Well maybe we are just used to configure a server BEFORE it is being run?
Just like the STICKIES say?!

[tuple]

If you wish to run a server, you should know some of the basics of how to find files, how to edit files, etc.  The tutorials here do not walk you through the steps to install an operating system in order to support your server because YOU are expected to have SOME knowledge.  There is a certain irony that you write that the tutorials do not state all that you have to know, yet your tutorial is horribly imprecise.  Writing tutorials is grunt work, it appears that you like taking the time to be precise considerably less than those who have written the tutorials and config files you rudely critical of.

If you set up a server that you have NEVER set up before, step one is reading, LINE BY LINE, the config file and searching for ANY TERMS you do not understand the meaning of.  Questions such as this one clearly indicate that you have not read the stickies OR your config files.

Please, when you ask a question, follow these simple guidelines:

    * Use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.  Make complete sentences.  Don't use ALL CAPS, l33t speak, etc.
    * Ask specific questions, not open-ended questions.  "I'm trying to start a server, can someone help me?" is not a good question.
    * Provide as much information as possible.  If you get an error, provide error messages, or a copy of the log.  If you don't know what to do next, provide a list of what you've done so far.

Following these simple steps will help us help you, and it will make it much more likely that someone will WANT to help you.

This is a free board for a free game, ENTIRELY staffed by people donating their time.  The portion of the sticky above is not so much a tremulous board requirement as much as a general internet guildline for getting help from people who are under NO OBLIGATION to help you.

The default server.cfg has a grand total of ONE instance of the word name:
set sv_hostname "Tremulous 1.1.0 Server"
If that is not clear to you, or you are unwilling to change that to experiment without our walking you through each and every step of how to edit and/or find the file, then I am afraid you will find few willing to give you that level of help, not to mention quite a few flames, as is evidenced.

The rcon password is not set in the default install (I suspect) because then rcon would be the same for anyone that doesn't change it and starts up a server, something I suspect you would have done. 

Frankly, if you must resort to insulting those trying to help you, you probably are not mature enough to run a server, much less keep it updated.

I might add that this is not just in response to this thread, but many of the threads you have started.

[Rocinante]

omfg asshole no i tried that and i coudn't change the server.cfg fucktard and  Rocinate you have to FUCKIN KNOW WHAT YOUR PASSWORD IS FIRST Thats the whole reason i posted that stuff i knew it told you some details but not all that you HAVE TO FRIGGEN KNOW! see thats the problem with you tutorial makers you dont put all the detials you leave out huge specifics

Ya know, if you'd asked nicely, you might have got a nice reply from me to explain what to do next.  Instead, you insult.  Two can play that game, ya know.

Listen cocksmoker, how can you be so fuckin' dense?  You had to WRITE the fuckin' server.cfg file in the first place, which has the password IN IT when you START, can you not even READ at all?  See that's the problem with you fuckin' idiots, you expect everything to be fuckin' handed to you and even chewed up into tiny bits and spit into your mouth like a goddamned baby because you can't handle doing anything on your own.  Your mommy still wipe your ass for you too, because it's too hard to reach behind yourself and you might get shit on your fingers?

Now see, that paragraph?  It's done very little to help your cause; maybe it's annoyed you some, and you still don't know what you needed to know.  Sucks, doesn't it?  Next time, try being nice.  Of course, next time you'll have to be asking someone else, I'm remembering why your ass got banned off of most of the servers where I'm an admin and it's because of this charming personality of yours.
