Changing Gamemodes

Running a custom/downloaded gamemode

• Open the directory you installed the server to (eg: /Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas/server)
• Take the downloaded/compiled .amx file and place it in the gamemodes folder where you installed the server
• Use RCON to change the mode as described above (2.1)
• Alternatively you can add the new mode to a rotation, also described above (2.3)

Using Filterscripts

The same as running a custom gamemode, except:

• Place the .amx in a folder called /filterscripts
• Add to server.cfg filterscripts scriptname

Passwording your server

• If you want to add a password so only your friends can join, add this to server.cfg:

password whatever

• This will make your server password-protected with the password set as 'whatever' - change it to whatever you want :)
• You can also change the password while ingame by using /rcon password newpasswordhere
• You can't remove the password until you restart the server

Using RCON

Logging In

You can log in either while ingame by typing '/rcon login password' or out of game by using the RCON mode in the Remote Console.

The password is the same as what you set it as in server.cfg

RCON Commands
