This "New Dev" is gone, but never touched the current versionof the rcon that everyone is using. The reason why its being flagged as a virus is due to the updater.exe that the rcon downloads to update itself with. All that program does is move the files from your appdata to which ever current dirctory the rcon is stored under. As for multitabbed server support. I've been doing more and more work on WPF related programs, one of which is the WS Launcher for Sa-Matra servers. Once i get a minute i will take another look at the WPF Rcon and get that working. One reason i've not done anything with it is due to stability and i dont want to release a sub standard product.

Not sure, thats got to be a false positive, i know my bitdefender is having a fit with updater.exe aswell, which is strange and not sure why its being flagged as a trojan. I've put a support ticket into bitdefender asking why its being flagged so i suggest maybe trying the same with avg? But take a look at this https://www.virustotal.com/uk/file/3554ffdd827f334ee8520c261d7b04228b87a837a3af224da560ad5a8a45c6a2/analysis/1424485822/ https://www.virustotal.com/uk/file/65246761fa84ec300f92d97ab9539d85c7d034f7525c10586d708d7e87040f82/analysis/1424485901/

Pushed an update out, change log will follow soon but one thing that has been fixed and works is the banlist now works again!

It does indeed, i've managed to get the banlist every time without failiure this time around so thats good news.

Just a small update. As i've not released an update to the rcon for a while i would like to share this with you guys. I've picked up a new Dev to help out with a newer version of the rcon. I have to say that this new Dev is amazing and here is a quick look into our work so far. We've got an rcon that now has a new and modern looking UI. Along with the massive UI changes comes one feature that EVERYONE has wanted for a long long time and thats multiserver support. Thats right folks, no more opening 10 different copies of the rcon as we now have multiserver support within the single rcon application.

Nice to see you back and working on your rcon :) I have to say thank you for the mention in the settings page :P

Ok found an issue with trying to pull the bans.txt. Fixed the issue and passed it onto my test group. ill let you know if they find any issues with the new build and if they are having a 100% success rate with pulling their bans.

Bans is strange, some times it works some times it does not, ill take another look to see if its my code or if its a socket issue thats stopping us from getting the bans list.

The bans is a strange issue and i think i know the cause of that issue. It will some times allow you to get the bans and other times it wont. Rather random atm. As for the player database. I suggest you go into your app data -> roaming and delete the folder for EPM Rcon Tool. If you want to keep your current db i suggest you back it up from within that folder otherwise delete the whole thing. After doing that relaunch the rcon and it will recreate the settings and database for you. That "should" fix any issues you're having. If not let me know asap.

Under the Database tab -> Display. What option do you have selected? I am able to see local,global and my private database with no issues. Make sure you're using version 0.9.9.6

Find this file path C:\Users\youruseraccount\AppData\Roaming\EPM DayZ RCon Tool Open settings.xml change <Cooldown>0</Cooldown> to <Cooldown>15</Cooldown> As for database it should load and have not come across anything ever to stop it from loading, are you sure you're doing it right? there is an option to display different types of database ie local,private or global.

I point you to this, the EPM Rcon tool which i help create. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?160118-EPM-RCon-Tool-%28Beta%29-Changelog-and-Information/page14

Thanks, happy you're enjoying the tool. As a small update, i've added the ability to find out which country players are from on your server. I've not made my mind up on how this information should be shown but i am thinking it might be an idea to had it placed in the same window as the player name,guid and IP. The global database is not working as effective as it should be, we have ran into an issue with the amount of connections using the database and we are working to move the database to a better server and store the database in a different format.

I only allow one person to be added to the teamspeak currently, that means if you want to have the messages go to multiple people they will need to have their own rcon open and connected to teamspeak. As for the private database, if you have filled out all the information correctly and have just created a blank DB with no tables the rcon should find and connect to that database and auto create the needed tables and sould then start to populate the tables with data from the server. To make it easier for me if u need more support create an account on my forums and post over there as i check those threads more often than here. Forums are http://www.epm-gaming.co.uk/forum/

Well you could automate the whole process, im sure you have automated restarts in place so set it up so bec runs another batch file on restart called EPM RCon or what ever name you want. Inside the batch file include the following "EPM RCon Tool.exe" -ip=address -password=password -port=port That will allow you to automatically open up and connect to a server without any interaction from yourself. That way after every restart your rcon will always be connected to the server. I will also double check to make sure it's not the rcon causing the issue and will try and pinpoint what causes the issue with server 2012 / R2.

What OS is running on the server? I'm going to assume its Windows Server 2012? or even the R2? I've been having the exact same issue with my windows 8 / 2012 R2 machine, the rcon fails to reconnect after a server restart but oddly enough i have a windows 7 test machine set up and running on the server via Hyper V and it can auto reconnect with no issues. Up time on the windows 7 machine was 5 days before i considered the rcon stable and released this version :P I'll see if i can figure out the reason it never reconnects on 8 / 2012 but does on windows 7. I would assume assume it runs fine on server 2008 and i might set up a hyper v test machine on the main server for that aswell.

Glad to see we have another person convert from Dart to our rcon tool :P It seems with the 0.9.9.6 one block of code didn't make it for some odd reason which was ment to make that "Test Connection" button work a little better and save the settings if it connection was sucsessful. The banlist issue is not something that can be fixed by the rcon programs sadly, i will bug bastian a little harder but its a massive issue with battleye. This is the sole reason Dart had that dart relay server thing for the banlist. Before i forget i will see if i can allow ts to connect with the domain name aswell, don't see why it should be an issue so ill get that done and push a small hotfix out.

Beta 0.9.9.6 - General stability of the rcon has been improved. Made massive changes to the Bnet Lib to make it more stable. - Added a donation button - Added Admin names to messages. - Fixed some of the BattlEye commands - Fixed an issue with settings.xml - Fixed an issue with TS3 Messages

If you don't know how to use the database then you're going to run into issues, but it 100% fetches players in your database and the global database. And it does fetch bans from the server.

Only reason you have to download it from our forums is so we can track numbers :P The files are hosted on armaholics aswell so you can grab them from there. Seems with releasing this new build it's brought back an old bug that was fixed many moons ago :P To fix this issue please go to this file path: C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\EPM DayZ RCon Tool In that folder please find an XML file named settings.xml Open that file and change this value <Cooldown>0</Cooldown> to <Cooldown>15</Cooldown> Save it then exit that config, once you reopen your rcon you should be able to enter more options. As for the "Admin Names" i will be adding this into the next release as a few people have been requestion this feature now. Great thing about our tool compared to dart is the built in auto update feature. We can push out an update to all rcons and it will auto download and install. All the client has to do is click the accept button.

Without stealing Domi's thread as i don't know how active he is with the developement of his rcon, i suggest you take a look at our rcon http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/170620-epm-rcon-tool-0970-changelog-and-information/ It has all the features you need apart from the "Bans Tab" request as the ban list is pulled straight from your servers bans.txt which does not contain a name.

Beta 0.9.6.0 - Added a Private database of players. - Added support for notifications with configurable words and cooldown. - Ability to launch and connect to your server via command line. Switches are -ip=address -password=password -port=port. - Removed disconnect / connection lost messages from the chat tab. - Added admin tab to show ips and ports of all connected admins. - Added Missions tab. - Ability to load missions from the missions tab. - Added comment system to local database. - Added the ability to minimize the rcon to the notification tray. - Added option to play a sound, flash the window and a TS3 notification when someone uses the !admin or any configured word. - Added the ability to set custom ban messages. - Added the ability to connect to a Ts3 server. - Added the ability to issue ingame commands using the prefix # before your command. Example #missions to select a mission. - Added the ability to send BE Commands using the prefix ! before your command. Example !say test will send the message test.

When someone sends the BE server a command for the player list that is what it replys with Once Dart or any other rcon receive that list they take what is needed and display it in which ever way they feel is best. So what you're seeing is the raw player list that has been unedited by dart.
