    Hello,
    I was wondering, can you type into the command prompt for the server? (I'm using windows 7) It won't let my type into it.

    I run dedicated server.bat, and when I try typing into it, nothing changes, and no words appear.
     
  4. For type a command, use the game console ! ;)
    Rcon commands.

    What I don't get is that some of the commands say "this command must be executed serverside"... :p

    Because you have to type /rcon first. For example, say you're banning someone.

    /rcon /ban *username* *time of ban*

    If you're not typing /rcon first, it won't work.
