Yesterday, Spoonguard released the 4th beta of his RConnect Tool, which is a tool that helps to simplify the task of administrating your multiplayer server by providing a simple, easy-to-use interface. It works with the "Create Game Server" option inside Crysis and the Crysis Dedicated Server.
IntroductionRconnect is a server management tool, which works with the "Create Game Server" and Dedicated Server which comes with Crysis. It helps you administer your server by an easy-to-use interface, and one touch buttons for kicking and banning.
It constantly monitors your server either over the internet or local network. In-game chat is recorded, as well as user connections, naming, disconnects, map changes, and round changes.
Rconnect can also send automatic server messages to all players, kick for spoofed credentials including illegal names, slow connections, and has a configurable anti-lag (high ping) kicker. It also provides multi-admin support for clans or servers with more than one admin.
If you install Rconnect to the server itself, it can provide crash monitoring and restarting.
A full ban system has been implemented in Rconnect v2.0, it can ban by IP, domain, Username and Crysis/Gamespy user profile ID. Each ban can be set to match all criteria, or any individual item. A per ban timeout can be set, so after a day, week or month the user can connect again.
