Hi!

I'm wondering if there is a way to make something like an Rcon(Remote Control) tool for a JJ2+ server. Basically that it would allow a server admin to edit settings without actually being in the server.

DJazz was making something like this with PHP (duh) but a completely client-side program like that requires a ghost player to join. A more sophisticated tool could connect to a special server-side daemon/service that would accept special requests (perhaps on some other port than 10052). This kind of a program could probably be created without having to edit plus, because it would only need to insert commands in the chat. They'd have to go through the plus command filter first, though. Coding such a program without the source code of plus doesn't seem like an unovercomeable challenge to me.

And shortening Nerd's post a bit:
Not yet.

JJM will have this functionality (when the new version is finished).
Its at the moment possible to execute a plus command an the restarting of the server, you will only need to forward the JJ2port-1 as TCP so if JJ is at 10052 you will have to forward 10051.

A picture of the admin center you can see here (Djazz made the php part):

Some parts of the new JJM are not finished yet, so its too early to publish it...

For this who dont know what JJM is / was:
JJM is working similar like plus, you only have the fact, that you are not starting the Jazz2.exe (or Jazz2+.exe), you have to start JJM.exe (this is starting JJ2 then).

Love it.

Didn't we have something figured out for the last Bash? Remote Access?
