For both keepAliveTimer and keepAliveTolerance we recommend leaving them to the standards unless issues arise. When entering the ArmA path make sure to use the right formating, even on Windows the path has to use forward slashes(/)! Do not escape spaces on Windows as Golang is handling all that for you.Īlso note that logToFile and logToConsole are not supported on Windows, so we recommend keeping them disabled.Īll further configuration options are described below. Once you got all required files installed you are ready to change the config.json according to your needs. If you want to use the pre-built debian package which also contains a systemd script for managing gorcon-arma (still being tested), you can get it by adding our bintray repository to your sources: If you get the latest binary version from our storage server you also get this README, the example config.json and an example schedule.json (HINT: You can select all the files you need and download them as a zip file). Note that the Scheduler has it's own schedule.json file containing the timetable (see below). When declaring a command in your config as restart event, the command string will be ignored. Please note that without any kind of watcher your server might not come back up. If there is only RCon the restart will send a '#restartserver' command.

If the Watcher is enabled, the restart will be done by sending a SIGTERM/SIGKILL to the process. The Scheduler is able to either send a string over RCon (like: say -1 hello all) or send a restart command. On Windows the server is not being killed when gorcon-arma ends unexpected so take care of this when restarting it. This is a wanted feature as an automated restart of gorcon-arma would start a new server anyways which would then concur with the old one. When using the watcher as process manager, ending or killing gorcon-arma will also terminate your server process. When using the Watcher you always have to let the Tool start your ArmA server otherwise the process won't be detected. The Watcher is responsible for starting and watching your game process.

The other parts yet integrated are the Watcher and Scheduler. Main Part is the RCon library which connects to a given server and sends commands/handles responses.

In addition to that, it is planned to make this Project extensible with Plugins.

Offering ease of use with exisiting Tools.

Provide Server Performance and Host Information to Interfaces.

Streaming in-game Chats and Events to Console.

Sending timed Messages/Commands to Servers.
