to remove a password off the server use the command

\rcon sv_password ""

while logged into the server via rcon

Could you please tell me what additional settings i require to capture screenshots in full size. So i can get the radar included in the screenshot.

Try something like this (in your pbsv.cfg):

pb_sv_SsWidth 1024
pb_sv_SsHeight 768
pb_sv_SsSrate 4
pb_sv_SsXpct 100
pb_sv_SsYpct 100

Basically, you need to increase the pb_sv_SsWidth and pb_sv_SsHeight (measured in pixels) to grab the complete screen (assuming their screen is not running a higher resolution than you set!) and the pb_sv_SsSrate with a setting of 4 means that 1 in every 4 pixels is captured (dont go lower than 4!).

Thanks for the settings. . If i use a higher resolution will i need to change anything else that you have listed here.

Not really, the only one you may want to change is pb_sv_SsSrate, but this depends on the width/height dimensions you use.

You should remember that the actual PB screenshot returned is limited in dimensional size. Even though you may be able to capture the players entire screen in the screenshot, the actual screenshot itself will not be 1024x768 (or whatever size you use) as it would result in a massive file (size wise).

You'll end up with a small image that shows the players entire screen.

I used all the settings you supplied all i changed was the pb_sv_sswidth to 1280 and it a nice clear full screenshot.Thanks for the settings

Is the a command to take PB off while playing on the server?
Or does it have to take a restart

Also, is there a command to change the respawn time while on server?

Thanks

1) Yes, server needs to be restarted to load/unload PB

2) Respawn time is:

\rcon gr_respawntime 20 --time in seconds.

Actually it is sometimes possible to turn PB on and off without resatrting the server:
Sometimes it also doesn't work. I don't know why.

This is how:
PB needs to be enabled in the config.
To disable it during game, use:
pb_sv_disable
pb_sv_restart

pb shouldn't restart then.

start it again with
pb_sv_enable

Thats might do it...or not.

Found this the other day while doing some server testing. In the dedicated server console, try the following:

r_displayinfo 1

It should show an updating display of the server-side FPS in the upper left hand portion of your console screen. This probably only works in the dedicated server console, not via RCON.

did you get this to work, as i tried and didnt see anything

Hmmm ... worked on one server, but not the other. Looks like the underlying OS is a factor, doesn't seem to work on my Windows dedicated server.

Other question:

How can I set the server up so it counts one point for each flag taken? Is that possible with GL|SSM? Have searched for this but didnt find it yet.I know it was in the past possible with Kerpo's SSM but haven't figured it out yet with GL|SSM

Edit: Never mind. I found it myself. The setting you need to use is:
gl_point_per_flag 1
You need to have at least GL|SSM 3.64 or higher (read 3.7 (beta))

Great info... but since I'm a newbie to FC and being a host I can't seem to be able get the "\rcon" screen to load up. When I'm hostinga MP map online exactly what keys to I need to use before entering any of the server commands? Tried tab, \ and ~ but nothing:-(

TIA,

Boogieman

The ~ should bring up the console on your PC. I have only seen it not do this on Windows 64 without the 64-bit patch.

Also, ensure that somewhere in your server profile you have the command:

sv_rcon_password = "yourRCONpasswordhere"

otherwise, rcon will not work at all.

In the \Far Cry\Profiles\server folder in the "server_profiles_placeholder.txt" I placed your text sv_rcon_password = "mypassword" and saved the file. Loaded up Far Cry and created a test server on the internet. While playing and hosting I hit the ~ multiple times and got nothing? Have a new HP Intel Pentium D 920 With Viiv 2.8GHz Media Center Computer (M7350N) here.

Still trying to open the rcon with no luck...
Help...

Right directory, but you edited the wrong file. It is usually xxxxx_server.cfg. Then when you start the server, you select that profile from the menu under create server. If you are making a dedicated server, create a shortcut to DedicatedServer.cmd then right click and edit the properties and change the target to:

%Install Path%\Far Cry\DedicatedServer.cmd "SProfile_run xxxxx"

where xxxxx are matching profile names.

Also, please specify your region...
Different regions have a different legend on the key for the console.
On a UK keyboard for instance it is ¬`or ¦. Either way it is top left above tab...

Ok... my fault with the txt file edit. I was close.. Tried editing the cfg as follows:

\Far Cry\Profiles\server\Boogieman 1_server.cfg

g_GameType = "FFA"

gr_FriendlyFire = "0.000000"

gr_MinTeamLimit = "0.000000"

gr_MaxTeamLimit = "16.000000"

sv_maxplayers = "16.000000"

gr_NextMap = "mp_surf"

sv_ServerType = "UBI"

sv_password = ""

sv_name = "Boogiemans Server"

gr_RespawnTime = "15.000000"

gr_TimeLimit = "30.000000"

sv_punkbuster = "1.000000"

sv_maxrate = "100000"

sv_recon_password = "xxxxxx"

Saved the file, started up FC and signed in. Created server and loaded up Boogieman's Server. "Joined" game and hit ~ and got nothing again. Tried combos with different keys and still have nothing.

I've been along time player and host with the Nova Logic series "Delta Force to Operation Combined Arms" and never had trouble with the ~ key before. I'm also hosting in Atlantic standard time...Nova Scotia, Canada. I talked four of my Buddies from work to give up Black Hawk Down and join me with Far Cry. They all bought the game:-) Now if I can be a *proper* host we'll be all set.

Have I missed something again? Thanks for your patience with me.
