Progress Report - RCON

[NoFaTe]

For the past week we have been working on the final missing feature of the client-dedi, RCON.

For those of you who don't know what RCON is, it is a protocol that allows you to remotely manage your server, using third party tools like ProCon.

RCON is extremely handy, as it allows you to perform several server-side actions, like changing the active map, managing (kicking/banning) players, and modifying various other parameters of the dedicated server.

Since RCON is missing from the client-dedi, we went through the process of re-implementing it, in order to allow you to use the afforementioned features.
Additionally, this makes it easier for us to expose various different VU-specific options/variables through the RCON interface.

We have taken care to make it fully compatible with the actual RCON protocol, and any tools that make use of it, which means you can still use your favorite tools (and their plugins) to manage your servers.



Currently, only a limited subset of the RCON commands is available, however we're in the process of re-implementing everything that's required to efficiently manage a server, while aiming to have full support for all commands and variables in the near future.

We would love to hear your feedback, so feel free to discuss this on our forums by clicking on the button below!

I'm liking what I'm seeing!

but did the client not already have a 'console' of sorts (opened with `) will the commands that could be accsessable via that be assessable from this rcon as well?

Looks like the final functions get implemented so we could get into the Beta stage maybe soon.

Right ?

And are we actually able to set the max players to 256 ?

Would host 10/10 + 128 player squads.

Back on topic, will b3 bot work? It's needed for server networks because of it's player management system.

b3 is based on rcon commands, if they (at least some of them) work b3 should work as well.

Then, a couple of servers would be enough for whole nexus community to play on. 1 for rush, 1 for conquest,...Thats it!

Basicly yes, but I don't know if you can use the default bf3.py as parser. I guess you have to modify it for VU (like the old alterOps parser)
