File Info:
There are 9 total files. They are:
rcon_admin.cfg (main file - execute ONLY this config in game.)
admin_slap.cfg ----\ These files contain the RCON admin commands
admin_kick.cfg -----\ that can be applied to players in game.
admin_sleep.cfg ----/ This selector is setup to handle a max of 24
admin_wake.cfg ----/ players in server. Must modify if your server has more slots.
tffa_maps.cfg---\ These files contain the Map Lists for each mode of game
ffa_maps.cfg-----\ play. These can be easily modified to match your servers
duel_maps.cfg----/ maps. be sure to follow the examples in the files if you
ctf_maps.cfg----/ need to add more entries.
PLEASE BE CERTAIN TO MODIFY THE MAP LIST TO MATCH THE MAPS ON YOUR SERVER!!
THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!
Upon Executing the rcon_admin.cfg file in game, the following will happen:
1.Your keys will be auto assigned by the config itself
2.You will be automatically logged into RCON admin IF YOU ADDED THE PASSWORD
TO THE RCON_ADMIN.CFG FILE as is instructed!
3.The config will create a backup of itself called RCON_BACKUP.CFG in case you
decide to modify the file, copy the rcon_backup.cfg file to another directory
so that you have an original copy of the config.
-------------------------------------------------
Key Assignments:
Almost the ENTIRE NUMBER PAD is used for this selector, as it allows MUCH MORE
easy access to RCON commands for the JK2 Game Engine. Since these commands are
NOT MOD specific commands, they can be used on ANY server running ANY MOD as long
as you have the RCON password to that server.

*** INSTALLATION ***
Simply unzip and place the .cfg files in your base directory or specific MOD Directory.
(IE. x:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\base\) OR
(IE. x:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\academy\)
Once files are placed, open console and type: exec rcon_admin.cfg
this will execute the config file and assign all its own keys for you.
*** FEATURES ****
Far to many to list, check it out for yourself in game, you will be please if you
are an RCON holding member of the server you play on.
*** MOTIVATION ***
I was tired of hand typing all of the rcon commands and trying to remember all of
the variables involved. Anyone with RCON can tell you that RCON is not an easy
level of access to maintain or use. That is the main reason I spent the time on this.
The secondary reason was my desire to customize the game that i spend so much
time in. Sort of to make it my own, and to make managing my own server much easier.
I then decided to share it with the whole JK2 community, in the hope that RCON
Admin everywhere would very much enjoy this type of setup. Granted, it may seem
complicated at first, but once you get used to using it, you will swear by it. I know
I do.
I hope you enjoy my effort!!
