ArmA2 and RCON

[Kello]

Hey All,

Just found this on the BIS forums and was wondering if there is a way to get it to work with TC as well?? doesnt seem to work because of the way the the game is started i think...

RCon server administration coming to ArmA 2!

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

A new feature is now available on BattlEye-enabled servers that will provide a great enhancement to server administrators:

 

Since BattlEye Server version 1.102 you can control your server remotely (without having to be in-game) from anywhere on the internet with the new BattlEye RCon tool.

 

 

All you have to do to enable it is creating a BEServer.cfg file in your BattlEye working directory (in the application data / profiles / BEpath folder, not the install folder) with a line containing "RConPassword [password]" (without [] of course) and (re-)start your ArmA 2 server. That's it. No need to open an additional port in your firewall or anything.

 

You can now easily connect with the BE RCon tool using the server's IP address, its usual game port and the specified RCon password. Note that this can be done by multiple admins at the same time (unlike ArmA 2's in-game admin feature). When logged in, you can enter BE Server commands and ArmA 2 server commands prefixed with #. In addition you will see all BE Server messages (like information about new players) live in the console.

 

To log out, simply type "logout". To quickly close the tool, type "exit".

 

A command to display all available BE Server commands will be added soon. The main commands for now are: "players" (display player list including BE GUIDs and pings), "kick [player#]" (kick a player, his # can be found in the player list), "RConPassword [password]" (change the RCon password), "MaxPing [ping]" (if a player has a higher ping, he will be kicked from the server).

More commands will follow over time.

 

 

BattlEye RCon v0.9 beta can be downloaded here: http://www.battleye.com/downloads/BERCon.exe

 

Keep in mind that this is a beta and changes will still be made. Make sure you always have the most recent version so everything works correctly (especially if there are RCon protocol changes).

 

 

Feedback, including bug reports, is welcome.

 

Thanks

Kello

your asking if the rcon in ARMA 2 can be used under the TCadmin control panel server administration?

 

I am not sure.

 

But I don't find a difference from just using that program, because not many people usually do any rcon commands in TCadmin unless they have TO.

 

They rather use programs like HLSW, COD4 rcon , and etc.

 

Well thats my preference as well, its more conveniences and easier to manage.

What this does is give you the ability to control the server remotely, somthing that arma has never had before...doesnt work if you start a server in tcadmin though:(

The instructions you posted are quite clear.

 

 

All you have to do to enable it is creating a BEServer.cfg file in your BattlEye working directory (in the application data / profiles / BEpath folder, not the install folder) with a line containing "RConPassword [password]" (without [] of course) and (re-)start your ArmA 2 server.

 

You can now easily connect with the BE RCon tool using the server's IP address, its usual game port and the specified RCon password.

 

TCADMIN has nothing to do with it.

 

You can edit the tca cfg to contain this file with the variables for default installs is all but its not needed.
