Hi all,
I've seen a few of these posts in the past, but I believe most of them were related to the same tool and the author of the tool seemed to want to keep the code closed-source. Additionally, the GUI didn't really jive with my desired aesthetic, so I wanted to make something that served my (basic) needs and I enjoyed using.
So I wrote up a little terminal GUI for using RCON. I wanted it to allow for flexibility in being able to execute anything you can via RCON (hence the terminal) but also I wanted to optimize for ease of use (so it allows for resending or saving past commands with a click of a button).
Like I mentioned, it's very basic but I use it to manage a self-hosted server that my friends and I use and it does everything I need it to. Feel free to try it out, drop an issue on the repo, etc. Also, contributions are very welcome.
Just listing some features off the top of my head:
- TUI (terminal UI) implementing RCON protocol for full command support
- Command auto-complete (via
find) for quickly finding possible commands without needing to actually submitfindcommands - Save commonly used past commands for re-use
- Resend a command via a button-click
- Quickly kick or ban current users via button-click
- Change maps with a button-click (allows for cancelation prior to changing map)
- Privacy mode allows taking screenshots with sensitive data (e.g. IP address) masked
