ARK:SA

There seems to be an issue with BM - we use an "Extended RCON" plugin which adds a bunch of useful commands. When we run these commands via BM, they return an expected message in local rcon client, but in BM's popup window it says "The game server did not respond to the command".

Sometimes them plugins can interfere with BM coding, as BM is expecting standard RCON items. As per the commands, they may not respond to rcon, as they may not be designed to, but the server takes the command still.

Sadly not. I have tested many commands and the only result i got was crashing the server with one of them. We use the exact same plugin for Ark:SE and it works fine, the popup returns expected values (often these commands are supposed to get player position, number of tribe structures etc)

If it's crashing the server, that is a issue server side.

The crash occured when i tried to kill my character via rcon, possibly because i was in godmode which does seem to be problematic Anyway, thanks for the response, we will keep digging into it 🙂

Yeah, if you have immunity it could send the server into a spaz we get the same with squad, it just spams server logs with unable to.

It is still strange as we tested it with mcrcon.exe on our root and everything works perfectly fine with it, all responses come within an eye blink while BM says "No response" for the exact same commands. It might oc still be a plugin issue and mcrcon is working differently / not validating the answers Do you know if there is a way to analyze theraw data of the answer we get from the server? So we can check what's going on here

Only BM staff can As they would have to review the RAW data.

I was looking for other tools to compare the raw data of command working with BM with those that do not work. Guess I will write a tool to do this
