    I wanted to give you guys a heads-up that an implementation of tcp/remote rcon is completed and in testing. This means that basic administration of a server without actually being in-game is possible

    https://wiki.kag2d.com/wiki/Remote_Administration

    This feature is not available on servers run on Windows, due to the use of low-level POSIX socket system calls. This feature is only available in dedicated servers.

    edit: I originally designed this feature back in April or May. Here is the document where I planned the original design, which ended up being almost exactly how it was implemented this week

    Are you talking about using a client on windows or server on windows? This can be used from windows as long as the server is on linux.

    I just added support for typing commands into the server linux CLI itself. Please read the wiki page linked in my first post though, as there's a caveat (that the input is not protected from being interrupted by server output - but if you ignore that and keep typing your command it'll work)

    (outages ml) yep - surprised you haven't seen me post there before :)

    edit: y u no be on IRC?
     
  9. I have attached simple rcon client to this post, which will let you guys test out and use this feature.
    Cross-Platform and more sophisticated clients are on the way.

    When you first launch this program, it will create config file to it's launch directory.
    If you don't want to type in your servers information everytime you want to use it, use following format:
    Code:
    ip 127.0.0.1
    port 50301
    rcon_password 123
    
    Note, this client is for Windows. Other clients will be added soon.

    Have fun.

    is "Some Big Text" the actual text that caused the crash? Are you able to reproduce this crash?

    Not working, both with sv_tcpr enabled or disabled (but this feature should be independent to the variable, right?). Or am I doing anything wrong? I just enter command (like /msg blabla or /nextmap) directly in terminal with server currently running. Server seems to be not impressed.
     
  17. Update from scratch is my suggestion for now.

    You need use Telnet client
    In linux :
    Code:
    $telnet 0.0.0.0 50301

    More info in the wiki.
    </br>--- merged: Nov 19, 2012 7:46 AM ---</br>
    And dafuq do you mean? Getting fresh executable or whole game folder? >.> KAGdedi got autoupdated for sure!
     
  20. Yes, download new Kag Dedicated server and update it from it's current state.
    So you will start with fresh new of configs and everything.

    This is just a suggestion, i highly doubt it will help you with your problem, but this is best i could come up with.
