May try making a simple remote admin tool to remotely use RCON for empires servers. Wanted to know if its possible and if... http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_RCON_Protocol That is the correct protocol to talk to the server. Edit: Also, is there already a admin tool made for empires? If not would anyone be interested in a program like this?
http://www.sourcemod.net/ Not sure what you mean by a remote admin tool (besides just using rcon). Sourcemod is the Empires admin tool standard.
well what i mean by Remote Admin Tool. A stand alone program, which connects to a server, and then can login and use the RCON or any other features of the server.
HLSW. Also, I think ukgamer might have made one, although I could be wrong. He said it was possible at least. But HLSW does the job anyway, although the rcon protocol is pretty vulnerable anyway, so I think we block it half the time.
Exactly. If Valve provided better console command calling APIs, we'd be able to write our own protocol. The main problem is getting the command response. It's possible, but a bit of a PITA to do.
