Dynamic Server Control

High-performance gaming communities frequently require the ability to modify their server’s fundamental ruleset instantaneously. Transitioning from a “Practice” environment featuring infinite utility and training aids to a standardized “Live” competitive match can be achieved smoothly using Remote Console (RCON) execution commands. This guide ensures your server is prepared for both high-intensity training and professional-grade competition.

Establishing Your Tactical Rulebooks

All configuration files must be situated within the /game/csgo/cfg/ directory to be recognized by the game engine’s execution logic.
This configuration enables developer cheats and training aids for grenade mastery and tactical dry-runs.

say "--- Practice Mode: Active ---"

​
Execution Workflow

Once your files are correctly positioned, you can trigger the transition directly from the in-game interface as an authorized administrator.
1

Open the Interface

While connected to the server, press the tilde (~) key to reveal the developer console.
2

Authorize Administrative Rights

If using vanilla RCON, authenticate first: rcon_password YourSecretPass. If using a plugin like CounterStrikeSharp, ensure you have the appropriate admin flags.
3

Trigger Reconfiguration

Execute the desired mode by typing:
  • For Training: rcon exec practice
  • For Competition: rcon exec live

​
Tactical Automation

If you are using CounterStrikeSharp, you can integrate these execution commands into custom chat menus or discord bot integrations, allowing your staff to swap modes with a single click or command without needing to memorize the RCON syntax.
