- Please contact us if you'd like this special functionality added to other game types
Special RCON functionality allows the panel to automatically get the RCON password.
Games using normal graceful shutdown functionality will need to have the RCON password defied on the RCON tab for the server. If you need to allow users to update this value, set the RCON password to one of the custom variables (%Var1%-%Var12%). For the server make this variable public and advise users to update the value if they change the RCON password.
Pitfalls
Since we can't control how long the save world will take, some timeouts may be reached. These could be UGCC's timeouts or the web server's. You can simply wait for the panel to show the server as being down if a timeout should occur.
Verifying it works
The panel will log if it's able to shutdown a server 'gracefully'. If it encounters an error it'll log what is missing or what failed. You can use the Log Tool to look for these messages.
ARK: Survival Evolved
For ARK graceful shutdowns:
- Game type for server needs to be set to 'Ark: Survival Evolved' (game type value must match ark)
- The 'Query Address' and 'RCON Port' settings need to be set for the server and accurate.
- The server's command line needs to contain '?ServerAdminPassword=admin_password' (admin_password should be your password) and '?RCONEnabled=True'
- The panel will use this information to start a in game countdown to notify users and gracefully shut down the server.
For Minecraft to work:
- Game type for server needs to be set to Minecraft in the panel (game type value must match mc)
- The ‘Query Address’ and Rcon Port values for the specific server needs to be defined
- RCON has to be enabled and a password set for the server in server.properties file.
- The server.properties file needs to be accessible by the panel, and needs to be located in the directory set as the 'Working Directory' for the specific server. Typically this is the same folder as the server's .jar file.
- Version 1.46 or better of UGCC
For Rust to work:
- Only the new version of Rust is supported.
- Game type for server needs to be set to Rust in the panel (game type value must match rust)
- The ‘Query Address’ and Rcon Port settings for the specific server needs to be defined
- You must have the rcon commands set in the command line or hidden command line (+rcon.port, +rcon.password, and +rcon.ip)
- The rcon password MUST be in quotes (""), as shown in the example at http://rustdev.facepunchstudios.com/ded ... erver/rcon
- Version 1.78 or better of UGCC
For 7 Days to Die graceful shutdown to work:
- Game type for server needs to be set to 7 Days to Die in the panel (game type value must match 7dtd)
- The ‘Query Address’ and RCON Port settings for the specific server needs to be defined
- RCON Port value should be the telnet port
- The panel will first look for myserverconfig.xml, if not found it'll use serverconfig.xml
- In serverconfig file; 'TelnetEnabled' needs to be set to true, TelnetPort needs to be set, TelnePassword needs to be set.
- The serverconfig file needs to be accessible by the panel, and needs to be located in the directory set as the 'Working Directory' for the specific server. Typically this is the same folder as the server's binary.
- Version 1.772 or better of UGCC
