RCON Commands

RCON, or Remote Console, is a way of allowing an administrator to interface directly to their server and send commands straight to the command line that drives the game server. RCON is used by many games and not just counter strike source although the commands that each will accept are different from game to game.

To first send the commands you need to log in which is achieved by

Staring Money mp_startmoney x This integer value controls the amount that players start with at the beginning of a new map or when they join a server. 800 is the default and the minimum value, while 16000 is the maximum.
Deatailed Log mp_logdetail x Use this bitwise svar to control the depth of your logs. Be warned, these options can eat away hard drive space and CPU cycles. Use 0, the default, to log no attacks, 1 to log enemy attacks, 2 to log teammate attacks, and 3 to log both.
Player ID mp_playerid x This variable controls what players see when they put their crosshair over an enemy, a hostage, or a teammate. At 0 (the default), the player see's all popups with team colors. At 1, the player sees their teammates and hostages, with team colors. At 2, players see no popups.
Fading mp_fadetoblack x This is also to combat ghosting, but is more harsh. 0 will have no affect on the game, while 1 will disable chasecam and any sort of death cam at all. The client's screen fades to black instantly after death. One boon of this setting is that corpses stay around for the entire round. Useful for clan matches.
Buying Time mp_buytime x A floating point (decimal) value to determine the buy time in minutes. E.g., '1.25' equals one minute and fifteen seconds of buy time (this is not the pause, but the time where it is legal to purchase stuff). The minimum value is 0.25 and there is no maximum.
Win Limit mp_winlimit x This, of course, is an integer (whole number). When a team reaches this amount of wins (before the timelimit or the roundlimit is reached), it has won the map. 0, or disabled, is the default.
Spectators allow_spectators x Setting to 1 will allow spectators, while 0 will disallow them. These are non-playing spectators, not dead people.
