[API]

Hello,

This plugin allows you to send RCON commands to another server. Unlike the workaround, the two servers do not need to be using the same RCON password.

Variables
sm_morercon_host - IP / Hostname of the remote SRCDS (default: "0.0.0.0")
sm_morercon_port - Port number of the remote SRCDS (default: "27015")
sm_morercon_password - RCON password for the remote SRCDS (default: "")

Commands
sm_morercon <command> - Execute a command on the remote SRCDS

How?

Github

VPN Friendly?
You can use this plugin if you have two servers in the same VPN. If you have questions about this, go ahead and post in this thread. I won't be able to help configure the VPN, but I can always help you apply the plugin.

This plugin requires the Socket Extension: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=67640

Why not just use Source Bans, doesn't it offer Rcon threw the servers menu to all of the available servers linked? Thats how I do most of my Rcon stuff, if I need to. Someone else may probably find a use for this.

This doesn't require opening a web panel in-game or outside of game to issue rcon. Thankies PJ, will be quite useful, I'll review code for approval in a few days if no one beats me to it.

umm??

rcon_address <ip:port>
rcon_password <password>
rcon <commands>

works just fine, its built in the engine by default..

That requires password matching across the servers.

EDIT: Thanks thetwistedpanda.

wait, why would you rcon to your server to rcon to another server? whats the point? my solution works just fine in any client console

Not so serious answer
Why does a bear shit in the woods? Because he can.

Serious answer
If your servers are behind a firewall or VPN, for example.

EDIT: Also you might not be inside the client.

I recommend you use FCVAR_PROTECTED on that sm_morercon_password convar.

Also something I find a bit strange about your plugin is that rather than giving unlimited number (or a big number of) of server you can execute RCON commands on, you simply allow to do RCON on one more... It's a bit of a "cheap" way to solve that (don't want to be mean saying that :$).

I.e. I would have more expected something like either :

• "read a file" and for each entry you can add a sm_morercon_theservername_host, sm_morercon_theservername_port, sm_morercon_theservername_pw (and maybe put that last one facultative so it can be entered in RAM memory rather than in a file)
• --or--
• allow to "register" a server dynamically; and this would create the convars sm_morercon1_* (or with server name), etc...

I feel like if you were realizing that you would keep missing a variable, but rather than using an array/collection, you would use one more variable. (like currently someone with 3 servers would need to either duplicate your plugin or "chain" rcon-command). I do understand that people with over than 2 servers are rare; but I feel they would maybe like that (That could be an "extended" version of your plugin); even thought I'm not in that category.

Anyway, just throwing some ideas :/

[API]

Plugins are basically single threaded, why not just change the variables when you want to change server contexts. You are suggesting a model for creating multiple commands that essentially do the exact same thing.

[RedSword]

I know.

And what about FCVAR_PROTECTED ?
