Basic Server Commands

Here are some useful console commands for running a GoldenEye: Source server.

Note that these commands must be run on the server. If you are not on the server console, you will need to set rcon_password on your client to the same password that is on the server and then prepend each of these commands with rcon.

For example, with these commands in the Developer Console:

// You only need to run this once
rcon_password MySuperSecurePassword

// Now you can execute commands on the server with rcon
rcon changelevel ge_archives
rcon ge_gameplay mwgg

An alternative to the built-in rcon is sm_rcon included with Sourcemod, which lets you control rcon access based on SteamID. This is generally recommended, but is beyond the scope of this article aimed at beginners.
