Trying to make a private dedicated server.

PrivateNasty

I set up everything and the servers are running perfectly but I cant put a password on the server.

In your server configuration file "dedicated_zm" or "dedicated" there is a line that says:

// g_password ""
That line remove the "//" and make it look like this
g_password "your_password"

Save the file and restart your server.

Be sure to change "your_password" to something else.

When connecting, on the main menu you need to open the console and type
password thepasswordyouchose
and then press enter and then connect to the server as normal.

If you connect with IP in console, you can type connect 1.1.1.1:port;password your_password

Replace 1.1.1.1 with your external ip, port with your port, and your_password with the password you have chosen.

sv_offline 1 and you don't need a password as it doesn't register itself to the server list anymore.

Mathy so is it like this connect 1.1.1.1:4976:password
like that?

BadBane not exactly, let's assume your external ip is 94.32.54.21, your port is 4976 (default) and your password is strongpassword33

connect 94.32.54.21;password strongpassword33

if your port is something else however (or if you're running game + server on the same pc in which case you need to change the server's port to 4977):

connect 94.32.54.21:4977;password strongpassword33

: is used to separate ip and port
; is used to separate commands
