Yeah, I'm a modding noob. I basically wanted to do a generic admin type of thing.. I was thinking I'd model it after rcon but I can't find anything at all about rcon in the code except some mentions of the "sv_rconpassword" cmd. Anybody wanna tell me where too look for that? In addition, is this remotely how an admin mod is created? Or do most modders create a completely independant module for the admin thingy? Like I was going to just put all my admin commands right next to all the rcon cmds, but I can't find any. Where are kick and ban defined?

Basically I was looking for some reference within the source for my admin thingy and I couldn't find it at all. Helpz plz.

The rcon stuff is dealt with from within the engine, the part you as a mod coder don't have access too. Same goes for kicks and bans[1]. For an admin mod, you would just add your commands to g_svcmds.c.

[1] Some parts of a ban are processed in g_svcmds.c too.

K, thx.

1 more nub Q. I think I've defined a game cvar... Hah. I just can't figure out how the strings and stuff work, and how I can compare it to client cvars. Any one wanna help?

Hey how do I create a command? Like how can I define a command so that it is not "unknown?" I've been screwing around with g_cmds.c and stuff, but I can't figure it out.

You add it to ConsoleCommand (g_svcmds.c):

Code:
if (Q_stricmp (cmd, "xyzzy") == 0) {
G_Printf("Nothing happens.\n");
return qtrue;
}

Regarding client cvars: you can't if the mod's server-side only. Clients propagate only a handful of cvars to the server and you can't just poll the others (the client would have to assist in that but it doesn't out-of-the-box).

Or alot. He isn't familiar with the modding community and basically got the SDK and went at it without knowing anything.
