Quake 3 Rcon

[coldblooded]

I'm running Quake 3 servers right now, and would like to use rcon via tcadmin. The server status and admin page shows the server info and player names, but there are no kick, ban, or any other rcon options anywhere on the page. Could somebody help me figure out what I'm missing?

There is currently no rcon support for Quake 3.

Thanks, I hope you'll consider adding it.

I think it can be added since we already have RCON support for Q3 based games. I'll test it to see if it works. If it does I'll add it in the next update.

Great to hear, thanks guys!

Forgot to mention, if you want to test it on a live server I'd be happy to volunter ours.

Hi. Can you create a support ticket with the ip, port and rcon password for one of your Quake 3 servers so I can test this and include it in this week's update.

Works great so far, couple things:

 

 

 

Since we're in 1.30 we're not using punkbuster, the kick and ban links next to the players names attempt to use pb_sv_kick and pb_sv_ban. Would be nice if I could change those link's commands for different point releases.

 

 

 

Special characters in player names break the status command.

 

<div class="pre"><pre>'', hexadecimal value 0x01, is an invalid character. Line 4, position 3325.</pre></div>

You can change the commands used in System Settings > Supported Games > RCON Commands. There are 2 checkboxes.

 

Is kick command" and "Is ban command"

 

 

 

I'll see what I can do about the special characters.

Sorry to bring this old thread to life, but I'm hoping there will be a fix for the special character issue. Actually you must have done something because the error I mentioned above is gone, but when somebody is using a name containing one, the status command now just gives the message [Command Executed Successfully] but no list is shown.

 

Also is seems to break the player list with "kick" and "ban" next to the names, clicking either of the links doesn't work when a player with special characters is listed.
