Web-based Rcon Administration

[scorpe51]

Hi everybody. Allow me to introduce something to you. I'm developping a web-based rcon administration for my own server. I'm actually not able to play these times, and distant rcon has been de-activated.

So I'm sharing the idea, is anyone intersted in that tool? If so, I could work on it to make a distribution of this tool, and then installable on most servers.

Here is what you wanna know on this tool.

Quote:Web-Based Rcon Administration – by Sylloc

Useful if you want to admin your server remotely from a web browser. From where you can’t play or where you can’t use HLSW or another tool like this one.

Tool Version: Unknown… Status: Alpha release (so under v1.0)


Features:
- View online players: teams, country (based on HLStatsX countries), spawning status, score, deaths, ping and more
- Say as console during the game
- View every event: like if you were in the game, you can see who kills who, with which weapon, who suicides and who connects, changes team, changes name and leaves the game.
- Changing map: change map, choose your map in the current mapcycle list or in the whole map directory.
- Warn/Kick/Ban player: warn player, when you warn a player 3 times, he’s automatically kicked or banned, choose the time you want to ban him.
- Admin history: view the history of your admins’ actions.
- Monitoring section entirely dynamic: don’t bother to reload the page to see what’s happening.

Requirements:
- PHP 5.1 or greater
- MySQL 5.0 or greater (MySQL 4 non-tested)
- HLStatsX v1.20
- Rcon enabled
- AJAX browser compatible (at least Firefox 2, Opera 9, Internet Explorer 7 or Safari 3).
- Javascript activated

Possible future features:
- Multilingual
- Multiple admins with access rights management

To-do:
- Many things yet, but it’s progressing.

Here's a screenshot if you wanna know what does this look like:

Well, it would be really good if everything works without the pain-in-the-ass-bugs all the cheap RCon scripts these days have.
So I'd say, yeah I'm interested, I'm sure a lot more people are since HLSW is pretty much the only option. And that's a program!

Im interested

Well I hope that it's not a pain in the ass script!

But it's also interesting if you're away and not able to install HLSW.

I can access my server administration, chat with the players from everywhere!

The thing is that it depends on HLStatsX (but I believe most servers got HLStatsX, or at least perl and a MySQL database).

You can actually see on the screenshots that it's for HL2DM. This obviously could work on CS:S, or others. It's quite customisable or it could rely on HLStatsX customs.

[Drocona]

How is this based on HLStatsX though.... That kinda spoils it

That's because I don't run HLStatsX but Psychostats on all the servers I run IF I even run stats at all

[scorpe51]

Well lol sorry, I'm not here to promote HLStatsX. The only reason I took that tool is that I didn't manage to listen to the srcds log with a listener on my own. So I'm using information provided by HLStatsX, which is quite useful and "real-time" when you can't listen by yourself. The thing with Psychostats is that it's a log parser, and not a "real-time" analyzer (for that purpose).

Actually, you can run Psychostats, and just set the HLStatsX listener to get data parsed into the database, and de-activate interaction with players such as "rank" (and all that stuff) and then it's a "silent" background program.

The program needs HLStatsX 'til I find out how to extract data from the log.

I hope it's clear enough. I run my server on my own, so I'm free to do whatever I want on it. I don't know how it is for rent servers?

where can i download this ? or project is dead ?

sry for english...

[scorpe51]

Hey !

Well, the project ain't dead, but I didn't have time to keep developing it. Well, I still need to work a bit on it, but, if I got more time in the next few days, I guess I'll try to release something !

Send me a private message later, we'll keep in touch

[Fido^]

Im actually making something like this, mine does not include all those extra features though, I just want a simple administration platform for my admins
Planning on posting it when I finish it

[Beaverbeliever]

I'm interested, when will this be available?

[Fido^]

It would be nice if the author posted the source of his current progress
Would be very useful for me.

[scorpe51]

Hey guys!

Sorry, it took real long for me to reply! I'm kinda busy these times, and I even didn't have time to answer my private messages!

But, yeah, well, I guess I'll contact guys who want to try the program, see if we can arrange somethings for testing purposes!

Thanks for waiting .

[scorpe51]

Hey!

Still a few words to say that I'm here, I received several private messages, that encouraging, thanks guys !!

I'll need to take some time, really, to sort things out and release something quite proper, even if it's an alpha program.

Cheers

Hey.

Im currently working on an admin console for my GSP im setting up. You wouldn't mind me using this in it would you? I mean taking your code and mixing it into mines. I'll give you full credit though.

Cheers, Adam

--> I am currently working on my own, got that far as game queries, rcon to sever etc works.
