hello I have a problem change the server password and then remove the password, but now when restarting the server or changing the map the password is automatically set. How can I get that out?

sv_password is usually set in server.cfg. However, it can be in another file as well or it can be set by a plugin that you are running.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

public plugin_init() {
    set_task(1.5, "removepass")
}

public removepass() {
    server_cmd("amx_rcon sv_password ^"^"")
}

Not a solution, just a really bad workaround.

so? How can I get the password?

You can set cvars via the server.cfg which will be executed on server start.
If you manually want to set cvars like sv_password via the server or client console and have the change re-applied after a server restart you will need a plugin.

If you have the cvar sv_password only set in your server.cfg, the cvar should be only overriden on server start not on map change because, as far as I know, hlds doesn't automatically executed the server.cfg after changing map.

That's mostly true. However, the file configured with the mapchangecfgfile cvar will be executed at the beginning of every map and this is most often set to server.cfg.

@El Abuelo Loco, find where it is being set in your config files. You might also check amxx.cfg and any other cfg files in the entirety of the mod directory. If it's not in one of those then you probably have a rogue plugin that is maliciously changing/setting sv_password.
