EPM RCon Tool (Beta) Changelog and Information

[cortez471 6]

I've added the ability to find peoples location via IP address, fixed the notifications being triggered by admins and added the ability to clone favs.

Is there any other features people would like to see in the next build?

Any chance of downloading over 3.5k bans from the server to the rcon client? As of now the list is just empty.

Well better than having the whole server crash when rcon tries to DL the ban list :)

Wait, the rcon crashes when trying to get the ban list?

[Viba 1]

Nope, battleye used to have such a lovely bug, when you tried to load a huge ban list it would crash the server.

I've spoken to Bastian and we have some good news. When he has some spare time he is going to fix the issue with the ban lists being limited so we should be able to pull the whole banlist without any issues.

Hi, I was wondering if you could explain why it connects to a remote MySQL database?

Global database which you have the option to enable or disbale in the "More Options".

[cortez471 6]

Sneak peak at a new modern UI / basic rcon that should be rather cool when finished.

First of all, great program. But one question, why is the tool always trying to connect to the IP 176.57.143.155 every second? and creates 10MB traffic per hour therefore. Global Database is disabled in the options.

Thanks.

That would most likely be the rcon trying to connect back to the global database, though with that option disabled it should not be trying to reach my server. I'll take a look over the code to make sure even with the option disabled, ie you unticked the "send to global" check box.

[tim123 12]

could you already check the code?

Sorry for the late reply, seems it will try and connect to the database but WILL NOT send any information unless you've told it to. It trys the connection when the rcon is loaded.

If you don't like it you could always bloke the ip its connecting to via your firewall. It wont do the rcon any harm if it cant connect to that database.

We all have been using beta 0.9.9.7 for our wasteland server - we have connection issues - sometimes when it does connect ,player list shows up after 2 minutes & then disapears,Its not working properly at all.We cant even use it.These are coming from 5 of my admins and myself.

So we all downloaded 0.9.9.6 and it works absolutely perfect.The problem lies is when the tool keeps updating itself to v0.9.9.7 beta and then issues start again.We have to keep deleting the beta version and unzip v0.9.9.6 to start using that.

0.9.9.7 should have auto updated to 0.9.9.8 which is a hotfix to fix the playerlist issues. We've disabled the GeoIP information for the time being to fix the issues with the playerlist.

Thankyou cortez!,works perfect now

Load bans dont seem to bring up the ban list for us thru the rcon tool,but its still writing it too the bans.txt file on our server.

just to clarify is it the GeoIP thats been disabled thats causing this?

[capoeira 10]

I can confirm that ban function works but program is not showing any bans in Bans tab

[cortez471 6]

Bans will still work, banlist is an issue with packets.

Still working on a fix for this as its more to do with the lib we are using. I rewrote most of it which did have the banlist working but we had another issue brought into the code, which was the cpu would some times hit 100% usage.

This has nothing to do with the GeoIP.

Switched from Battlewarden to this for my Arma 3 server and it's running very well! (minus the ban list not loading but that seems to be known about).

[ArcticWolf45 10]

I've been trying to set up Rcon for my unit's dedicated server, but I've been having issues setting the whole thing up. Is there a readme with instructions somewhere for the Arma 3 version?
