PyUrTRCon

A small tool for Urban Terror (or any other similar Quake3-based games) server administrators written in Python that can execute RCon commands on remote servers.

Usage

The tool is a Python 2.7.x script. Start it using the python interpreter.

$ python pyurtrcon.py

Optionally, we can pass it the game-server address, port and the password.

$ python pyurtrcon.py urtbd.com:27960 12345

The game-server information can also be set during a session using the gameserver and password commands (see below).

Once in a session, type help to get a list of available commands and their usages.

Common Commands

• The rcon command sends RCon request to the server. Examples:

  >> rcon g_nextmap ut4_turnpike

  >> rcon cyclemap

• The history command lists all previously executed commands during the current session.

• The gameserver command sets the address and port number of the game-server.

• The password command sets the RCon password for the game-server.

Auto-complete

Press the tab button to auto-complete partially typed commands. It can also complete some RCon commands as well. You can extend the list of RCon commands the tool can auto-complete by editing the script. Add the commands you frequently use in this list:

common_commands = ['exec', 'bigtext', 'map', 'cyclemap', 'g_nextmap', 'g_gametype']

Also, add servers you frequently manage in this list:

common_addresses = []
