battleWarden.net - RCon stuff and more!

[battleWarden 2]

Hey Day Z Community,

as recently announced in the BI forums I have started a new project called battleWarden which is a highly flexible toolset for Battleye. See http://battleWarden.net for detailed information.

The old ArmA 2 RCon (GUI) being considered as the most advanced and stable remote control tool for ArmA 2 servers is part of battleWarden as from now.

There are also plans to add more tools to the set in order to make the lives of Day Z server admins easier.

Components of battleWarden:

• battleWarden:RCon
  

Features (battleWarden:RCon):

• Easy to use server manager
  
• Local player database with SQLite support
  
• Ingame chat suppport
  
• Comprehensive ban support
  
• GameSpy 2 integration
  
• Fully compatible BE client

Currently it only consists of battleWarden:RCon (commonly known as ArmA 2 RCon), a powerful remote control tool for Armed Assault 2 servers running with BattlEye.

Am I missing something here? You proudly "integrated" the tool into battleWarden, even though there was nothing to integrate? Nothing wrong with a nice toolset, but you basically renamed ArmA 2 RCon and that's it.

No, not really. As already mentioned in the BI forums there are plans to add more external standalone components/tools to battleWarden and the future versions of the rcon tool will support interfaces enabling you to link them together. So it's more than just renaming.

Is it supposed to pull your ban list from the server? If so it didnt work for me. I tried loading the ban a few times and nothing.

Seems to disconnect and reconnect a lot. I dont have the same issues when using DART or RCON at the same time.

Copy and past from the log field in the bottom is clunky. I can either copy a single line or the whole thing, but nothing inbetween.

In that case it's just a case of confusing wording here and on your site. I think a "based on the popular ArmA2 RCON GUI" or something along those lines which credits the original tool would be more appropriate.

Apart from that, good luck with the tool. I'll be following this as long as it's a stand-alone application which doesn't require any modifications to the server itself (for instance I have to make do with a managed server).

So this is basically ArmA II RCon GUI renamed to battleWarden with some GUI changes?

I don't really see what "and more" means at the moment.

@maddyn99: Sorry that it did not work for you. What exactly is happening when you try to load the ban list? I am able to load lists from various servers with thousands of bans. As to the reconnect issue I have no idea what it is caused by. Is there a lot of traffic on your server?

@Frop: Yes, you are right. It seems a bit confusing and I will clarify this with the next release.Thanks for your interest, much appreciated.

@DomiStyle: Um...I have already stated before what that means and it is a bit strange that we are arguing about the name here as nobody in the BI forums seems to care about it.

This is what I get. This is after a fresh restart and i updated my bans.txt file to make sure there wasnt anything goofy in there. Nothing shows up in the ban list tab even a ban I performed while using this program.

Ahh, welI...I guess you did not notice the "Load" button on the bans tab. Click it and you should be able to receive your list. Reloading the list is not necessary as the tool is doing this automatically.

ahhh, well I guess you did not notice the part where i hit the load button. See where it says [ban-List has been reloaded.] Yeah still nothing.

[battleWarden 2]

Sorry but there is no relation between loading the ban list and the [ban-List has been reloaded.] message. So your log does not show whether you hit the large load button at the bottom of the bans tab or not.

When I click the Load ban list button.. I keep getting [server is not responding. Please reconnect.]

I've emailed this developer, even commented on their facebook page and they aren't keeping to their promise of giving the premium version. I was hoping to make a donation soon, but at this rate they can forget it. I doubt even that would get them to answer my emails. Use DART instead, at least that developer gets back to and keeps to their word...
