RCON Commands
Commands are compatible with CS:GO and Counter Strike 2 servers.
RCON stands for Remote Control and is a direct way to control the server via the console. Before you can send commands to the server, you must first execute the following command in the console: rcon_password PASSWORD (does not apply to Counter Strike 2). You will set the RCON password in the administration panel.
Important: Commands to the server usually must be prefixed with rcon, for example rcon changelevel de_inferno. Otherwise, the client will try to execute the command locally, which will fail.
In the console in the administration panel, we enter commands without the rcon prefix.
