Player joins server - announcement

[HeadRox 1]

Does anyone know if this is possible to let the server say "player X joins the server", and "player X leaves the server", with the current tools we have?
Years ago i had that on my DayZ Mod server. Cant remember how or what did it.

Easiest done via RCON tools.

DarT and RPM are basically RCON interfaces that provide a graphical interface for RCON stuff. There are other tools like CFTools (https://omegax.cftools.de) or battleWarden (https://battlewarden.net/) that are RCON based but provide more and custom features.

No, you would have to create a custom plugin for that.

DaRT has the capability to do this, but not out of the box. Here's the source. https://github.com/DomiStyle/DaRT And are you sure you want to do this right now though? It's just going to say, "Survivor" has joined a bunch of times.

Id be happy with just the amount of players on the server every 5 or so mins, I dont really need it to show the names of players, just the amount will do me fine. Will this tool still do this?

DaRT won't but RCON will and I personally know a way to make it work for BEC. I'm at work right now but when I get out I'll type something up

use .Count() on the getplayerlist function, tho it seems to retrieve only alive players need further testing

I'm writing a BEC plugin as we speak that will work for everyone's server no matter what version of windows you are using to host your server and will use BEC's scheduler instead of the window's scheduler. Expect a link to github within the next 24 hours to download!

I have modified the code from: https://github.com/DomiStyle/DaRT and added a new option to DaRT to announce player connected/disconnected via /say -1.
 

You will find a new tab called "Announcers" in Settings. There is currently a single checkbox with the option to announce player login/logout. I can separate these to their own checkboxes if it is needed. I prefer to have both as a single option to toggle.

DaRT with Login Feed Announcer

I make no claim to the creation of DaRT. All credit goes to the respective developers and contributors of it where due.

// add in RCon.cs under 
//if (Settings.Default.refreshOnJoin && message.EndsWith("disconnected") && !_form.pendingPlayers)"
//{
//    Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(_form.thread_Player));
//    thread.IsBackground = true;
//    thread.Start();
//} <- Line 696
if (Settings.Default.announcePlayers)
{
    string PlayerConnectOrDisconnectMessage = String.Join(" ", message.Split(' ').Skip(2));
    if (PlayerConnectOrDisconnectMessage.EndsWith(" disconnected"))
    {
        _client.SendCommand(BattlEyeCommand.Say, "-1 " + PlayerConnectOrDisconnectMessage);
    }
    else if (PlayerConnectOrDisconnectMessage.EndsWith(" connected"))
    {
        string PlayerConnectedString;
        PlayerConnectedString = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(PlayerConnectOrDisconnectMessage, @"\(.*\)", "");

        // Remove extra spaces.
        PlayerConnectedString = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(PlayerConnectedString, @"\s+", " ");

        _client.SendCommand(BattlEyeCommand.Say, "-1 " + PlayerConnectedString);
    }
}

// insert into GUIsettings.cs
//
//add under line: tooltip.SetToolTip(connectOnStartup.... 
tooltip.SetToolTip(announcePlayers, "If checked, DaRT will send an announcement in global chat for login and logout of each player.");

//add under line: connectOnStartup.Checked = ....
announcePlayers.Checked = Settings.Default.announcePlayers;

//add under line: Settings.Default.connectOnStartup = ....
Settings.Default.announcePlayers = announcePlayers.Checked;

// THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DONE, BUT IT WOULDN'T WORK UNLESS I manually added this to Settings.Designer.cs

//added under lines:
//[global::System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute()]
//[global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
//[global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("True")]
//public bool showUnknownChat {
//    get {
//        return ((bool)(this["showUnknownChat"]));
//    }
//    set {
//        this["showUnknownChat"] = value;
//    }
//}
[global::System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute()]
[global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
[global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("True")]
public bool announcePlayers {
    get {
        return ((bool)(this["announcePlayers"]));
    }
    set {
        this["announcePlayers"] = value;
    }
}

This is what I've modified. Only other thing is the [Design] for GUIsettings.cs to add the new tab and the checkbox named "announcePlayers".

Added this just in case anyone was wondering exactly what I did.

The messages are kinda long, but not much can be done about that right now.
