query server to get players steam id

[Dranz1r]

Hi

I tried some of the libraries, but none worked for me.

I need to input server's iport, and get players steam id that are playing in it.

Help?

Here's documentation on every information you can get via the built-in queries:

If there's not what you need than you have to write a sourcemod-plugin using the socket-extension or a database that you can also access externally.

Maybe there's another solution depending on what you need the steam-ids for.

Just use the rcon status command and it will return all the information you should want.

Sorry, he's right, I forgot about that.

Just figure I'd add to this again ... heres another PHP example since your first was PHP as well:

Well if you done have rcon access, you're screwed.
Only solution would be to write a sourcemod plugin and upload it on the server. But it seems that you don't have any access to the server at all?

[CentralFrag]

You will not be able to use these RCON commands then if you do not have access to the rcon_password.

[Cyba_Mephisto]

Well with rcon-socketconnection, but otherwise no.

You write a PHP script and make it send the rcon command status to the server and then you parse the output of the server and get the steam-id's.,

[Mike]

Download an rcon-php library. I don't know how, I'm using my own script to parse logfiles for Steam IDs

[Cyba_Mephisto]

As I already said, here's everything you need:

[Cyba_Mephisto]

Well no.
You obviously didn't read the article because it mentions a lot of examples at the end.

[Mike]

Well obviously then it isn't what he's after. He wants to send a command to the port 27015, not an RCON command. The link you sent him explains rcon not anything else.

[Cyba_Mephisto]

Ah...ok...


And which command does he want to send?

[Mike]

"status"
