Still testing additional commands. Will update when they're functional.

Status

Still a work in progess. Testing RCON access for another project I'm working on.

Have tested with successfully:

• ListPlayers -> Used by default if -c "COMMAND" and -b "BROADCAST_MESSAGE" are not present on the command line
• Broadcast
• SaveWorld
• DestroyWildDinos
• DoExit

Modifying Maps

You may or may not have all the maps listed in the config.ini deployed. Add/Remove from it as needed, then edit line 114 in asa_rcon_client.py

EXAMPLE: Removing maps config.init has:

[island]
addr=127.0.0.1
port=27015
pass=something

[scorched]
addr=127.0.0.1
port=27016
pass=sneaky

Change the choices[] list on line 114 from this:

parser.add_argument('-m', '--map', action='store', default='island', choices=['island', 'scorched', 'extinction', 'aberration', 'center', 'astraeos', 'ragnarok', 'all'], required=True, type=str, help='Map name from section in config.ini or "all" to execute on all maps')

To This:

parser.add_argument('-m', '--map', action='store', default='island', choices=['island', 'scorched', 'all'], required=True, type=str, help='Map name from section in config.ini or "all" to execute on all maps')
