The config file is the file that holds all the game settings, e.g. max fps, draw decals, max packets etc. You can download configs from lots of diffrent websites, these configs will offer you better FPS, smoother game play, nicer graphics etc...

To change a config you need to put the config file in the correct location, the config file is named "Config_mp.cfg" and each OS has a diffrent location:

Windows XP
C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\

Windows Vista / Windows 7
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\

or

C:\Program Files\Activision\players\profiles\

If you cannot see the files, they might be hidden.
To enable hidden files follow these 3 steps:

1)On the Tools menu in any Window(Press the Alt key to view the menu bar in Windows Vista/7), click Folder Options.
2)Click the View tab.
3)Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.

Below are the Call of duty 5 RCON Commands the Admins guide to the gaming world :)

Basic RCon commands:

/rcon login : The most basic command of all, this allows you to login ingame so you can use the rcon commands.

/rcon say : This allows you to type as the all powerful "console" so you can warn people or do whatever else you want to do. Do not apply directly to eyes.

/rcon map : This allows you to change the map to whatever you want! Or crash the server by command overflow.

/rcon map_restart : Put simply, this restarts the map. It also goes great with crackers.

/rcon status : This shows information about the players on the server so you can ban, and or kick them. AKA it shows stuff. I think.

/rcon kick : you use it to kick players off the server dont kick the wrong one :D, but remember you have to use color codes.

/rcon banuser : When that idiot you kicked five minutes ago comes back and starts yelling at you, whip out the bann hamma, and watch the carnage. Use color codes.

/rcon onlykick : Use this version of the kick command, and without color codes too.

/rcon clientkick : Another, easier way to kick.

/rcon banClient : An easier way to bann.

/rcon tempBanUser : Ban them, but temporarily.

/rcon tempBanClient : The easy way to temp ban! If ya know what i mean.

/rcon unbanuser : That guy you accidently banned, be banned no more!

Gametypes and server commands:

/rcon set g_gametype : I believe this resets the gametype. Types are tdm, dm, ctf, and hq.

/rcon scr_friendlyfire <0/1/2/3> : Sets the type of ff on the server. We dont use this one.

/rcon scr_tdm_timelimit : Sets the timelimit for tdm maps. (this goes fo other types too)

/rcon scr_tdm_scorelimit : Sets the scorelimit for tdm maps. (this goes fo other types too)

/rcon map : Change the map luke!

/rcon map_rotate : Rotates to the next map.

/rcon map_restart : Restarts the map and accepts prior settings put in via rcon.

/rcon fast_restart : Fast restart version.

RCON CONSOLE COMMANDS

Call of duty 4 RCON commands are virtually exactly the same as the old call of duty series commands take a look below for a little guide on whats what:

Commands
/serverinfo - This command shows the server settings and configurations.

RCON usage
It is very likely that you are not playing at the same location (IP address) as your server is. Thats where we use RCON (= remote control) commands for. Using RCON is very easy, just add '/rcon ' in front of the commands above (removing the '/' of those commands). But before you can use RCON, you will have to login:

/rcon login [password] - Fill in the password of the server and you can use RCON commands.

/map [map name] - This will load the given map. Map names can be found in the map overview article here.

MAP NAMES:
- mp_backlot
- mp_bloc
- mp_bog
- mp_cargoship
- mp_citystreets
- mp_convoy
- mp_countdown
- mp_crash
- mp_crossfire
- mp_farm
- mp_overgrown
- mp_pipeline
- mp_shipment
- mp_showdown
- mp_strike
- mp_vacant

/map_rotate - This will load the next map of the rotation. This is set in the 'sv_maprotation' file on your server.

/map_restart - This will restart the current map.

/fast_restart - This will restart the current map just like /map_restart but is much faster as it will not load the map again. It will just restart the map.

/status - This shows information about the connected players. This includes the client ID, score, ping, GUID, name and IP address. The ID and name can be used for the following commands.

/tell [player id] - This will display a message to a specific player. The ID is given with the /status command.

/clientkick [player id] - This will kick a player according to its ID (given with the /status command).

/kick [player name] - This will do the same as the /clientkick command, but this command requires the player's name. However, some names are very difficult to enter (with colour codes etc.), thats why the /clientkick commands is easier in use. You can use 'all' as player name, this will kick all players from the server.

/onlykick [player name] - Does the same as /kick as far as I know.

/banClient [player id] - This command will ban a player according to its ID. The player's GUID will be added to ban.txt.

/banUser [player name] - This command does the same as the /banclient command. However, this requires you to fill in the player's name, it is therefore advised to use the /banclient command (names can be long or contain colour codes).

/tempBanClient [player id] - This will temporary ban a player using the player's ID. The length of a temporary ban can be changed in the server configuration file.

/tempBanUser [player name] - This will temporary ban a player using the player's name.

/unbanUser [player name] - This will unban a user according to the player's name. If the player's name appears more than once in ban.txt, you can edit the file and remove the banned player manually.

/dumpuser [player name] - This will give information about the player.

/killserver - As the name says, it will shut your server down.


Examples of RCON commands:

/rcon map mp_pipeline
/rcon status
/rcon banclient 5

More (useless) commands:
/serverstatus - This will give you information about the server settings and a quick list of online players.

/serverinfo - This will give you some diversified about IW settings on your server and some useless information.

/systeminfo - This will give you a list of the settings your server has.

/clientinfo - This will give you information about the yourself as client.

/showip - This will provide your IP address.

/cmdlist - This will show a complete list of commands available.


Hope they come in use to you :)
Cheers All.
