ZBot - BE Rcon Discord Bot

[Zupa 202]

ZBot ( An experimental project. ) -> For any BattlEye rcon game supported!

 

Current version: 1.0.1

 

A Discord bot that can roam your Discord server and function as an RCON client for your BattlEye game servers. 

Screenshots at the bottom.

 

What can it do?

 

• Print all chats in different discord text channels in their respective colours ( Side, Vehicle, Global, ... ). (Tip: Print sidechat in a channel that everyone can read !)
• Execute RCON & Server commands to your arma server in the assigned Command channel.
• Protect these commands with an appropriate Discord Role.
• Reply to user commands when they type ingame. These replies can be printed ingame and in discord. ( eg: !admin -> Admins can be found on discord -> @Admin some asked for an admin ingame. )
• Webpanel to configure your rcon-game servers.
• List players, admins & bans trough rcon commands. ( All BattleEye commands supported ).
• Now available: Schedule text commands for ingame/discord through the web panel.

 

How to add it to my server?

 

https://bot.devzupa.be/

 

Follow the flow of the site. It should be straightforward. Always remember to save a page if needed before navigating to another page!
Add the bot before or after you filled in all the info. ( The button on top ).

Always be sure the chosen roles and channel exist in your discord server! ( channel names are without the # )

 

Whenever you make changes in the config panel you need to reload the config of your server onto the bot. 
This can be easily done by just typing in a channel:

!zbot reload

This commands also refreshes your rcon instance if it would have stopped for some reason.

 

All rcon commands can be viewed in the assigned 'command' discord channel. List these commands by typing

!rcon

All commands are prefixed with that aswell.

1 example for a global message by the bot:

!rcon say all Welcome you our server!

All rcon commands:

# ZBot BattlEye RCON commands

**All commands are prefixed with !rcon**

Please provide as much feedback as possible ! 1 mistake by myself can crash the whole bot. So if there are still use cases where it fails we can finetune it!

You can join our discord server to discuss or report bugs ( or the topics ).

Technical info about the bot.

• Hosted in france on a good server.
• Coded in NodeJS ( Ecmascript 6 ).
• Modular build

 

 

The bot will be hosted by myself until we encounter any problems we can't solve that way.

If i ever stop hosting the bot i will release the sourcecode.

I might also release the sourcecode earlier. ( If i know you, you can ask me for access to the code).

Slick! 

[BetterDeadThanZed 1006]

Pretty cool. I got my server set up but then I got this message:

RCON server disconnected on purpose. Config reloaded?
@ 12/15/2016, 03:23:09: RCon admin #2 (37.187.56.99:37911) logged in
Unable to connect to server. Trying to reconnect in 10 sec.

The bot didn't seem to respond so I kicked it to see if it would reconnect and even though I've invited it again, it hasn't returned.

Hi man

It's probably a configuration mistake.

• Are you sure that the chosen discord channel exists for the one you choose as side?
• Does the bot have access to this channel?
• Have you reloaded the bot when the config changed => !zbot reload

This might fix your issue.

I woke up this morning  to find it working. Maybe there's a cool down when it gets disconnected.

*Edit* Looks like my server restarted 2 1/2 hours ago and it didn't reconnect after that.

The bot crashed due to a destroyed rcon connection which was trying call some functions. 

I'm still finetuning some of the connection/ reconnecting processes to make them go smooth
