Daniel Stroven wrote: As far as rcon being required in rental situationswhat I find is the only reason customers "require" rcon is because of HLSW or similiar programs that give remote control thru a 3rd party program via rcon password. AM/AMX do not give you the ability to do remote commands, while halfd does, but without using rcon. Then you have unique customers. As a would-be customer, I would demand FTP/SFTP access to the hlds directory, including all files inside (which includes server.cfg). You cannot hide rcon from me that way, nor is it prudent to try. In pub servers, if you don't want rcon, don't use it. In private servers, people are *going* to have the rcon password... -- Eric (the Deacon remix) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

I've been wishing for this for quite some time now. I redirect my console to a pipe, which is read from (and processed) by a perl script and then sent to a logfile. Having extra control chars to repositon the cursor and rewrite the input line for each new log line would would ruin this very efficient method of adding extra features to HL servers. b) I also agree with this view. There are other very useful tools like halfd which might break, too. So care must be taken not to break this possible use. I would say that such an interface does not necessarily have to be an integral part of the dedicated server process/program itself. Instead the usual Unix model of 'one task, one tool' could be applied. Thus, my suggestion would be to have the hlds_xxx binaries use simple, regular, unfiltered input/output as before. The now obsoleted hlds binary could be used to implement a frontend calling the respective hlds_xxx binary. This hlds frontend could then provide such an input line, command history and even more features. It would be extensible over time without having to fear to break anything in the server proper. Other coders could even decide to replace it with an improved version (as was the original intension for the old hlds, too AFAIK). Tools could use the hlds_xxx files directly. The overhead of the extra process would be minimal since it doesn't do anything but wait for input from either side most of the time.
