Another Arma RCON Tool (ArmaCon)

Recommended Posts

4_10_2014_11_13%20PM.jpg

Hey guys! Wasn't sure where to post this, so I figured here would be a good place for it. I am the creator of Paronicon for the CoD series, and since those servers now officially suck, and new games almost guarantee to not give us hostable servers, I took on a new project.

This one is for Arma2/Arma3 (maybe more, but these are what I'm testing with). Will do some more backwards testing soon.

There are some tools out there for the arma series in general, but none with the feature set that I (we at GSN Gaming) were looking for, so I set out to build my own. It is very close to being ready and I am looking for people to test it out for me.

Let me know if you are interested. You can follow updates on it at the following:

Homepage: http://armarcon.com

Twitter: https://twitter.com/getarmacon

GSN Forums: http://gsngaming.com/forum/146-armacon/

If anyone is interested in being a guinea pig for me, let me know. It will currently only work with a MySQL database (it will be able to run on SQLite as well for those that don't have MySQL or don't want to set one up). If you need a MySQL server, I will give you a database on my server for you to test with if you would like. Just need people to test it out for now and give me some solid feedback. We (As server admins) need some good tools to help us do our jobs.

I'm also welcoming any feedback as to what features and what should be included. Look forward to working with you guys! Thanks for reading!

Sounds interesting, I'd like to be one of the testers if possible.

Sure there are a number of good RCon tools available already, none of them have all the features I'd like. This seems to have all the essentials packed in to one, or at least planned to have :)

Maybe this one could be it? Also hope the stability is going to be better than with the rest of the RCon tools, running RCon for 24/7 on a server that restarts 4 times a day usually halts the RCon at some point.

Awesome! I'm sure it will start out with issues as it's hard to test anything yourself (you know what to look for).. Will you be needing a MySQL database for testing, or do you have one available? I'm hoping to get the first usable prototype out today or tomorrow, if I can stop adding stuff to it and just get it working. ;)

I have a MySQL database up and running already so I only need the configuration details for it :)

Just inform me when you have a test version out and I'll gladly try it out!

Looks very interesting :)

Give me a shout and I'll gladly help you test it.

MySQL server ready and waiting

Nothing major. Things are coming along nicely. All memory leaks are squashed. CPU usage is under control. Thread management is still a bit flakey (when one thing goes awry, it has trouble recovering). This is what I'm working on now. I don't expect it to be perfect when it goes out for the first time, but I also don't want anyone's server to be effected if the RCON tool just halts. That to me, is unacceptable.

I added some more features (such a netlog parsing to map BE GUIDs to In game Profile IDs) which took some time to implement. I also added the ability to have event driver URLs calls. For example, you can have it parse a URL when a ban is made so that it can post ban posts to your forums or something like that. Finally, I am building a little management app that will run on the ARMA servers themselves (if the tool isn't running on the same box as arma already), that will monitor the process and kill/restart it if need be.

I'm attempting to make it as full featured and helpful as possible, and my OCD keeps getting in the way as well. Rest assured that development is still fully under way and it is coming along nicely. No ETA updates though.

Thanks for your interest.

Thanks, looking forward to it. Been using BattleWarden for years and looking to try out something new. :thumbs-up:

I am 100% on board with this and if you need testers I'm here. I need something to help manage multiple servers as currently setting them up and running them has been a pain in the arse.

Please get in touch if you need help.

Is it possible to have it connected to e.g. 8 servers simultaneously ? cause that's the Feature i'm missing the most from all Rcon tools i have tested so far.

That and being able to see chat from all Servers in one single window with a prefix like "Server #1", "Server #2" , so you can see it at a glance and just filter by server# if something interesting comes up.
