console commands

[DieselDriver]

Hi,

how can I change these settings via console (rcon pwd command)?

- disable breakdowns from vehicles
- enable taking-over other companies
- change/disable inflation

Can I change everything which I could do via GUI via console?

I am running a dedicated server.
I can connect to the server as client or I have access to the dedicated server-console on the server.

But most settings in the GUI are not changeable (as client)!

greets, DieselDriver.

Open your openttd.cfg and search it for 'breakdown' and 'inflation' respectively. The names of the config setting as found in there is the config setting which the console accepts. The usual way is

Code: Select all

rcon <password> "<command>"

e.g.

Code: Select all

rcon stupidPW "kick 13"

On a dedicated server you can only change settings via rcon. Clients cannot change any server-side setting there.

Other companies cannot be taken over in general, unless they're bancrupt and for that reason sold-off.

You forget the most important command in this case:

Code: Select all

set name new_value

where "name" is the name of the setting you want to change and "new_value" is the new value. Leave out "new_value" to get the current value. In your case the names are vehicle_breakdowns and inflation. I'm not sure which setting controls taking over other companies.

The complete command would be:

Code: Select all

rcon password "set breakdowns 0"

"allow_shares" would be the setting that allows people to buy other companies. All setting names can be found in the config file and via the list_settings command. The latter also lets you filter per section or part of name IIRC (don't know which one though).

I tried:

Code: Select all

rcon password "set breakdowns 0"

but it seems to be an unknown command (breakdowns is an unknown setting)

Where can I find all settings which I can change with rcon?

[ChillCore]

Try "vehicle_breakdowns".

Use "help" for more info.

ok, thx. The openttd.cfg was not in the game directory but in "my documents and setting" directory.

are there all settings inside from the GUI?

How can I change the pwd from an other company via rcon?

Yes. We kind of assume that a person willing to run a server risks to have a look at the readme. At least occasionally.

We left out one setting, which is my secret. You cannot change any company password via rcon. Move yourself into the company via rcon and change it using your client.

[DieselDriver]

Ok, but the company has any password I do not know.

What happens when using the "default-password" feature? which password will be set then?

Why it's not possible to change companies password on the dedicated-server-console-window?

Is it possible to join two companies?

Client relevance: password is relevant for companies to prevent unwanted people messing with one. Unwanted people includes the server administrator, you also do not want google administrators to mess with your google account.

AGAIN: passwords are for companies, not for administration.[/quote]

Is it possible to join two companies?

Different answers possible, what are you trying to achieve: buy a company while playing as a client (enable buying of stocks). Merging two companies into one forced by an admin, not possible.

[DieselDriver]

THX!

But what, when a player forgot the password (our server runs several weeks on the same gamefield). Then I only can kick the company - there it would be fine to beable to reset the password.

Move yourself into the company via rcon and change it using your client.

*sigh* Please learn to read.
