RCon server administration coming to ArmA 2!

[$able 2]

As for the banning... does it use ArmA 2 PlayerID or does it use BE's GUID? Last time I read the GUIDs don't get saved so I want to make sure.

It's using BE's GUID of course. And as you can read on the previous page bans are saved now. :)

You should really use BE for banning now, as it adds more functionality and cannot be bypassed like ArmA 2's PID banning.

I will create a separate thread about BE banning soon.

*Does a lot of random connection aborted if left open for a bit.

Should be fixed.

Few Issues:

*Could you add a button for #missions?

the #missions button will not be added,

when u run this command over rcon the server waits for more input u have to restart it!

what will come is the #mission command with an missionselection screen.

Should be fixed.

Do we got to download it again

Bans are written to guidbans.txt and ipbans.txt in your server's BE working directory and therefore will be saved even if the server restarts. Note that the ban files are only read on BE Server initialization, so bans can only be added via the RCon interface.

can you define where the servers be working directory is?

[Kochleffel 10]

can you define where the servers be working directory is?

the best way to define is:

start server -profile=server1 or -profile=mygameserver

the Battleye workin directory is then in your ArmA2\server or \mygameserver folder.

[$able 2]

the best way to define is:

start server -profiles=server1 or -profiles=mygameserver

the Battleye workin directory is then in your ArmA2\server or \mygameserver folder.

Or use -BEpath= if you don't specify a -profiles= folder.

If neither is used the default working directory is "C:\Documents and Settings\[user Name]\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA 2\BattlEye".

"C:\Users\[user Name]\AppData\Local\ArmA 2\BattlEye"

AppData is a hidden folder.

[$able 2]

"C:\Users\[user Name]\AppData\Local\ArmA 2\BattlEye"

This is the folder on Windows Vista / Server 2008 / 7.

[Kochleffel 10]

Known issue is that Kaspersky Internert Security blocks rcon tools. If u Run this, turn it off and try again.

But you could still connect with KIS Kochleffel, or not? I don't think that's the problem here.

Sneaker-78-, do you have a Linux server? If so, make sure your config is called "beserver.cfg" (lower-case).

no a windows server

Are you sure it's in the BE working directory? If you use the -profiles= option the BE folder is created in there.

this you mean :

AppData\Local\ArmA 2\BattlEye

so yes :)

Yes, but only if you don't specify -profiles= or -BEpath=.

What exactly does your config contain (use placeholders for the RCon password of course)?

[Sneaker-78- 0]

In the BE folder in your -profiles= folder.

[Sneaker-78- 0]

i only see a BE folder in "AppData\Local\ArmA 2\"

Home Dedicated -

command line

"C:\Users\Mosh\Desktop\TEST SERVER 2\ArmA2Server.exe" -config=server.cfg 

server directory

C:\Users\Mosh\Desktop\TEST SERVER 2\BattlEye\BEServer.cfg

This is weird. Are you sure RCon works and there is no BE config in application data (see last page for where that is)? You don't specify a -profiles= folder either?

I wonder if there is something in your server config that causes this. Could you test if it also works without your server.cfg?

No, you're right... I used the wrong computer for my example. The working one is as you said, I had slipped the BEServer.cfg into the appdata directory, and totally forgot about it... sorry.

I'll edit my post to avoid further confusion...
