How to kick out a player in self-hosted server

[dsggdgsdg]

How can I kick out a player in a server hosted by myself? Just to let you understand I want to play with friends, and I'm wondering if I can kick out of the server any other player who jump in. Is it possible without any software for the server management (like e.g. IW4MAdmin)?

Bender If you're wanting to only play with your friends and not other players, I'd recommend using g_password.

g_password "PASSWORD"

This will require everyone to enter the password in the console first, then connecting to the server after

Use sv_offline 1 to hide it on the server list.

Cahz : thanks for the hint, it's just what I'll do to fix the problem. But anyway I was curious to understand if there was a way to kick someone out with a command string or something like that!

Xerxes: but does it work even if we are not in a LAN network? how then can my friends find the server and join?

[Cahz]

Bender As far as I know, the only way to kick people would be from an external source like IW4MAdmin, or with some sort of mod menu

As for the sv_offline 1 question. Players can still join the server via console using connect IPAddress:Port. With the IP Address being your public IPV4 address, and then the port.
EXAMPLE: connect 144.100.50.10:4977

find your public IPV4 address from a website like http://whatismyip.org/
