Rcon commands:
-----------------
status - shows player client id number, name, score, IP, etc
clientkick <client ID#> - kicks by client id
kick playername - kicks by playername

addip <ip.add.re.ss> - adds IP to banlist
g_banips - lists banned ips, Warning: g_banips allows for 255 characters. Anything beyond that will crash your server, so be careful. Keep in mind that these are characters, not just numbers.
"10.10.10.10" = 11 characters
"10.10.10.10 10.10.10.10" = 23 characters
removeip <ip.add.re.ss> - removes IP

Examples of Rcon usage:
/rcon kick bob
broadcast: print "Bob^7 was kicked\n"

/rcon addip 10.10.10.10

/rcon g_banips
"g_banIPs" is "10.10.10.10^7" default: ""

/rcon clientkick 0
broadcast: print "Bob the Dork was kicked\n"
ClientDisconnect: 0

/rcon removeip 10.10.10.10
Removed.

/rcon g_banips
"g_banips" is "" default: ""

thanks for all the info...good stuff

Maxrate/Player/Bandwidth Requirements

Rate is measured in bytes/second.

Say you wished to set the sv_maxrate to 10000. Multiply that by 8; that would give you the maxrate in bits (80000). Multiply that number by the number of clients you wish to host for; that will give you the required bandwidth. You would like to host for 16 clients? You would need 1,280,000 bits of bandwidth to host for that many clients. It's always a good idea to allow for a little overhead. In this case, a T1 (1.544 Mb) would work nicely, provided that you didn't also run an FTP server on the line.

DSL providers usually guarantee 85% of the advertised bandwidth. Cable providers often don't provide any guarantee, especially with upstream. Leased lines such as T1 should be guaranteed the full bandwidth.

In my case, I only have 144k of upstream. Without overhead, I could set the maxrate to 3000 and host for 6, but I allow for the overhead and set the maxrate to 2500 instead, which would require 120,000 bits of bandwidth. I've never had anyone complain that the maxrate was set too low, but if I had more bandwidth, I would set it higher.

A list of leased lines (taken from here):

DS0
  64kbps
   Building Block for Fractional T1

 T1, DS-1
  1.544Mbps
   North America

 E1, DS-1
  2.048Mbps
   Europe, Asia

 E2
  8.448Mbps
   Europe

 E3
  34.368Mbps
   Europe and Japan

 T3 or DS3
  44.736Mbps
   672 DS0s

 OC-1, STS1
  51.840Mbps
   Optical Fiber

 Fast Ethernet
  100.00 Mbps
   LAN/WAN

 OC-3, STS3
  155.520Mbps
   Optical Fiber; 3 x 51.840Mbps

 OC-3c
  155.520Mbps
   Optical Fiber; "c"= concatenated

 OC-12, STS12
  622.080Mbps
   Optical Fiber

 OC-48
  2.488Gbps

 OC-96
  4.976Gbps

 OC-192
  10Gbps

 OC-255
   13.21Gbps

did you get my private message monty?

I replied.

o.k well the MM server is on a OC-48
 2.488Gbps

So what would be a good rate??

I have it set to 15000 right now.
And it seems to be perfect so far.....

Monty this looks like a fantastic thread thanks. I have been looking how to start a SOF2 server and when I get home this is take a battering. The net never ceases to amaze. People like yourself good enough to post this kind of stuff, time consuming stuff no doubt, for free    Thanks and keep it up mate  

hi!i did everything like you,but when i run server its showes in local page and not in internet.help me pls!thanks

so u have a server.cfg file with allt he info above in it?

then just start sof2 up and go to console

type

exec server.cfg
