Now you can access the server remotely by using the following commands
from a client:

Use this command to login to the server.
- rcon users
This command lists all the users connected to the server. Very similar to admin.listPlayers
- rcon exec
Replace with a console command you would like to execute on the server.
For example: rcon exec admin.kickPlayer 3
Unlock Weapons
This code may be for the DEMO version only. Make a back-up of the file being edited as well. Do not e-mail death threats to IGN because you mistakenly alter your FAT.
Open the file pythonf2statsunlocks.py
with a text editor and go to line 44. You should see a text string defaultUnlocks = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
. Change all the zeroes to ones: defaultUnlocks = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
and save the file as a *.py
file.
Cheat: Null HUD
Input renderer.drawHud 0
to delete the HUD. This gives you the chance to get some choice screens. Default value is unknown.
