[quote:33e6d]Grabbed a copy of delator and after playing with it a bit i wondered. Does this even have to be loaded on the server or is it simply run by my computer? If i have the rcon password and the server IP and enter all that in, its scanning the server even if im not playing? [/quote:33e6d]
You can run it either on the game server or any other computer (with internet connection, of course biggrin: ). Yes, it scans even when you're not connected.
[quote:33e6d]Also what does setting the clan tag and pass do? If i enter the tag and a password will it kick everyone the next time a map loads like setting a regular password? Or will it simply keep open 1 or 2 spots for private users? Or does it simply work in conjunction with a private password i already have set with "x" number of slots that i set via rcon?[/quote:33e6d]
I don't know how useful it will be for other people, but it is for me :-D... that's the deal:
You are in the "[CLAN]" clan, so you set a password which allows you to reserve 10 slots on your server for people belonging to it. When Delator is monitoring the server, it will warn you if any player without the "[CLAN]" tag is using a private slot (for example: sometimes the brother/sister/friend of a clan member enters a private slot - Delator allows me to control how "public" our private password becomes; also, the players in my clan usually misstype the reserved password, so they are using one of the 8 public slots without even knowing about it . This way I can ask them to retype the password and re-enter on a private slot instead, cause our public slots are usually very crowded whereas is hard to see the private ones full).
You should setup your private/public slots on your server's .cfg file.
Delator has kicking disabled on the default config. It won't kick anyone unless you check the "Enable kick" feature. In this case, any player using a private slot without an appropiate tag would be kicked, as well as any player on a public slot wearing the tag (they could be impersonating someone; however I have never enabled this feature).
So, yes, it works together with the password you setup on the .cfg file.
[quote:33e6d]How hard would it be to add the feature of passwording the server to this program if thats not what the tag and pass do? Becasue i had problems with it the other night where rcon wouldnt accept the password i was trying to set and i kept having to kick people[/quote:33e6d]
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "passwording the server to this program". If you mean the ability to set a new rconpassword/private password via Delator, I think it would be easy to add, but I wonder if that's what you mean... oOo:
