Post 1 / 1

my friend has a server & i have rcon over it. Does anyone know how i can find the IP addresses of the people playing, by using an rcon command... or can only the person running RF Server Assist find out this information ?

cheers in advance

why

But you can a "rcon info" command (or just "info" if your the server) after youv e done a "rcon_request <rconpasswordhere>" command

djcreativity when you have rcon on a server, You CAN'T get another players IP address. Only if you are the server and or are hosting the game.

If the reason why you need some body's IP address is to ban players because they have names that are hard to type or almost impossible to reproduce while in the game, then you should use this program:

Lazy Ban 120

Description:

This is a tiny application created by SubZ, that gives any rcon holder the ability to ban any player using any name by simply substituting the players name for a letter! The server does not need to be running this, just the rcon holder doing the banning. There are full details on Installation and Commands in the ReadMe included with the download. Version 2 has corrected a problem found in version 1.

Note: This does not work on French or German versions.

Instructions:
1. Extract the LazyBan.exe file to your RedFaction folder.
2. When you start a game, click on LazyBan.exe instead of rf.exe.
3. In the game bring down the console and request rcon.
4. Type "ban" (without the quotes) and press "Enter".
5. A list of players will appear with a letter beside each name.
6. Where it says "Pick a letter" just type the letter next to the player name that you want to ban and hit enter.
