Great info, but it still doesn't change the fact that rcon over tcp to the server ports doesn't work. Here's a little debug info from a script I wrote using the docs at http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_RCON_Protocol -------------------------------- $ ./rcon.py -c status janus.splitstreams.com:27021 xxxxxxx reqid: 2094234817 SENDING: '\x11\x00\x00\x00\xc1|\xd3|\x03\x00\x00\x00xxxxxx\x00\x00' RECV (10): '\xc1|\xd3|\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' RECV (10): '\xc1|\xd3|\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' reqid: 954561615 SENDING: '\x10\x00\x00\x00Ot\xe58\x02\x00\x00\x00status\x00\x00' RECV (10): 'Ot\xe58\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' -------------------------------- The server authenticates me and even responds to the status command, it just give me back an empty null terminated string. Compare the above to l4d1: -------------------------------- $ ./rcon.py -c status janus.splitstreams.com:27016 xxxxxxx reqid: 1811805914 SENDING: '\x11\x00\x00\x00\xda\xf6\xfdk\x03\x00\x00\x00xxxxxx\x00\x00' RECV: '\xda\xf6\xfdk\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' RECV: '\xda\xf6\xfdk\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' reqid: 929550210 SENDING: '\x10\x00\x00\x00\x82\xcfg7\x02\x00\x00\x00status\x00\x00' RECV: '\x82\xcfg7\x00\x00\x00\x00hostname: MF L4D 1\nversion : 1.0.1.6 4023 secure (unknown)\nudp/ip : 209.98.155.113:27016 [ public same ]\nos : Linux Dedicated\nmap : l4d_hospital01_apartment\nplayers : 0 humans, 0 bots (4 max) (hibernating) (unreserved)\n\n# userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state rate adr\n#end\n\x00\x00' -------------------------------- If A2S queries are working, that's great, but rcon should be fixed nonetheless. Rcon is used by some (including me) for more than just getting current players.
