JavaGuy Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Maybe this should be obvious, but I've been through all kinds of server techie sites and failed to find it... Where do I _find_ rcon? Is there an rcon.exe somewhere that I've missed? (I did a file search for rcon*.* and didn't find anything). Also, is there somewhere I can find a specification for the rcon protocol so I can write a network app that retrieves server status? Thanks! Sam
Kazi Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 RCON is a CVAR that is inside the game. You get/set/change rcon with rconpassword newpasshere once you set that in a dedicated server you can access it through the game with rconpassword newpasshere rcon status then it will display the status of your server (have to be connected to the server or not connected to anyserver with the rconaddress command.)
NerfYoda Posted November 9, 2002 Posted November 9, 2002 For writing your network app take a look at the code for qstat or web scripts like JediLive. I'm trying to learn that stuff myself.
