C# getting player info from server?

[Naiss 28]

Hello,

 

I'm messing around in C# and I'm trying to get some info from ArmA 3 server like the number of players on the server, player list, etc.

 

any idea how I would do this, any example code?

 

Some sort of rcon like kick and ban with some player info

You would need to create an external library that receives player information from the mission and is then passed out through said library, as for intergration with Battleye I'm not 100% sure how that is done.

For kicking and banning you need to write an extension like tezz said.

If you only want to have a playerlist, the current map, etc. you can use the steam server queries

You can get the most basic info, like which players are on, current mission, etc, but probably not their game/steam/battleye ids using ordinary steam query.

 

For more, especially if you want to manipulate the server, you might want to look into BattleEye and their RCon, but this not trivial to implement. This might get your started: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BattlEye#RCon

The protocol and download for an RCon client is here https://www.battleye.com/downloads/ . You might want to just find an existing RCon client and see how to integrate with that or get it to do what you want.

 

Of course, there is tezz' suggestion to write an extension—which would probably be simpler than implementing the protocol above—but if a few server hosts may not allow adding custom DLLs.
