I have 2 things that you can maybe assist me with 🙂

One problem I have is that when the server restarts, cmd says:

 

"Reconnecting to BEC Rcon"

 

It never connects BEC automatically so the Bot no longer works until i restart the Bot again.Any way to set it to try connecting every few seconds perhaps?

It says something along the lines of "Stopped Reconnecting - Too many reconnects!" right?

In the settings "modules/rcon", the setting "max_reconnects_per_minute" should regulate that.

By default the bot will try to reconnect 10s after it loses connection.  So if max_reconnects_per_minute = 3 means that it will give up after 3 attempts or ~30s.

With max_reconnects_per_minute = 7 it should try forever.

2nd thing, the player join and leave msg works great, but some players asked that I rather remove it as it shows the players public IP address. They are worried about ddos attacks and hacks.

Can I set it to only show the name and not the IP as well?

 

 

Just published a new version where the IP is hidden.

Thanks so much! I will test that rcon reconnect.

The new configs only outputs:

connected

 

No player name hehe. IP is gone though 🙂

Ah for some reason an invisible char made it into the code and broke it. Fixed now

I am using the previous version.
The new version with the settings through the browser seems to me to be problematic. It is not clear which modules to connect by default. As a result, when you run an error.

My bot does not output information to the channel.

Failed to acquire data

In the running server, I see the  console lines

16:29:30 Player y**** disconnected.
16:29:30 BattlEye Server: Player #12 y**** disconnected
16:32:12 Server load: FPS 30, memory used: 1683 MB, out: 1608 Kbps, in: 156 Kbps, NG:0, G:512, BE-NG:0, BE-G:0, Players: 9 (L:0, R:0, B:0, G:9, D:0)
16:32:27 Server load: FPS 32, memory used: 1683 MB, out: 1070 Kbps, in: 72 Kbps, NG:0, G:0, BE-NG:0, BE-G:0, Players: 9 (L:0, R:0, B:0, G:9, D:0)

But the data does not end up in any log and the bot does not send data to the channel.

Who can tell you how to redirect performance data to a log file?

Yes I agree, that will be improved in the new version.

Thats weird, if it is shown in the console, it should also be visible in the server.log /.rpt. Maybe check your arma server settings.

 

 

For now the focus is on refactoring the code and improving the stability and usability (improved error messages, etc).

The new server log reader is almost done.

Hey there, would there be a way to display current online players as a locked discord channel? I have been wanting to let community members see if player are online, but I do not want them seeing each other's IP addresses.

Im not sure what you mean with "display current online players as a locked discord channel"

 

The !players+ command provides just the nationality:

The !player command is just intended for admins only.
