How To Use RCON On Your Empires Mod Server

RCON lets you run server console commands from inside the game, such as changing map or kicking players. Your server already has a random RCON password; here's how to set your own and use it.

Setting Your RCON Password

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under RCON, edit RCON Password.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

The password must be 8 to 32 characters and can only use letters, numbers, dashes and underscores.

Using RCON In Game

  1. 1
    Join your server.
  2. 2
    Press the key above Tab (` or ~ on most keyboards) to open the console.
  3. 3
    Type rcon_password yourpassword with your RCON Password and press Enter.
  4. 4
    Type rcon followed by any command, for example rcon changelevel con_district402 or rcon kick playername.

Tip

You can also type any server command, without rcon, in the Console page of Bropanel.
