Server admin tools?

[blkmgc]

Hello,
Being new to the RO scene , I probably had a ton of questions about server admining for RO. I found most of the answers for my questions except for a couple, and our clan will be renting an RO server. So here goes.

What are the common admin tools that are used for RO? Comparitively, in COD we have RCON commander which handles just about anything functional we need to do ingame. Being unfarmillar with the UT engine, I didnt know if there was something similar that did this. And is it included with the game or available elsewhere? Also, will there be instructional doccumentation availble for server admins? And where should one look for this?

We are very much looking forward to the release, and would like to get all of this ironed out before hand...so we can spend our time playing.

Thanks in advance.

I believe the devs will be releasing a full list of commands on release.

As to admining a server, Unreal engine games use Webadmin. This is a webinterface (ie in firefox or IE) which allows you a list of the most common controls. EG, map change, server size, password etc etc.

More advanced options have to be changed via the ini (config) file. This tends to be a minimal amount mind.

You also have ingame Rcon commands that allow you to kick players, change map and a few other bits and bobs.

We'll be supporting RO in GameCreate ( http://www.gamecreate.com/ ) - probably faster if there's a free, standalone dedicated server, but eventually even if you have to buy the client to run a server.

(As an aside it should already support RO as a UT2004 mod).

i tried game create, and been having some problems...

nvm, I think i missunderstood the software.

this is more used setting and running a server through this software. not making it esier to admin a server already running.
