Dynamic Server Control

High-performance communities often need to swap their server’s ruleset instantly. Switching from a “Practice” environment with infinite ammo to a “Live” competitive match can be achieved seamlessly using Remote Console (RCON) commands.

​
1. Creating Your Rulebooks

All configuration files should be stored in the /game/csgo/cfg/ directory.

​
practice.cfg

Use these settings for training and grenade practice: 
sv_cheats 1
sv_infinite_ammo 1
sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview 1
mp_roundtime_defuse 60
mp_buy_anywhere 1
mp_restartgame 1
say "--- Practice Mode Enabled ---"

​
live.cfg

Return the server to standard competitive settings: 
sv_cheats 0
sv_infinite_ammo 0
mp_roundtime_defuse 1.92
mp_restartgame 1
say "--- MATCH IS LIVE ---"

​
2. Executing Commands

To swap modes while in-game as an administrator:
  1. Open your Console (~).
  2. Type rcon exec practice to start training.
  3. Type rcon exec live when you are ready to begin the match.

​
UI Integration

If you are using an admin plugin (like CounterStrikeSharp SimpleAdmin), you can often add these execution commands to a custom menu for one-tap access without needing the console.
