tell him to type the word "auth" in console while in game.

by typing auth in the console it give you a stange green icon by your name. I dont think it gives you any rights.
btw my green icon went away with the 1.02 patch.. at least that's when I noticed it

they changed the cvar. to mp_authicons from ns_authicons or something. read the readme

nObedienz

your right and I knew that but all it does is say "auth on" I still dont get the green icon by my name.. at least not on my screen. I saw a different icon when monsierevil joined. His looked like a seashell or alien head hehe.. hard to say

nObedienz

ive seen one of those icons too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
think its cuz they're in the NSGuide- or Dev team..
btw, my celeron 400 // 384kbit // 386mb ram works like a charm with 6-8 players <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

for rcon to work do this
edit your servers server.cfg and put in the line (xxxxxxx being the password you choose of course)
rcon_password xxxxxxx

on your friends computer create an autoexec.cfg file in the NS folder
open it with notepad and add the line
rcon_password xxxxxxx

now the first time he joins your server he MIGHT have to type
exec autoexec.cfg
to load the file, but this is the ONLY time you have to do it

now he should be able to do rcon like this:
rcon kick bob
rcon status
rcon stat
rcon user

etc.. etc..

make sense ?

mp_authicons ONLY gives the icon, it does NOT GIVE RCON!
