    So I've been working diligently on a web-based RCON admin tool to help alleviate the annoyances of dealing with typing in commands.

    It has a lot of the same features as some other tools available, but the nature of it being online makes possible some unique features that, at least for me as an admin, have been very helpful, and will continue to get better.

    > Players list with Kick/Ban, teleport, items & item sets
    > Map that lets you teleport yourself around
    > Live chat
    > Server settings like Time, day length, airdrop, etc

    Edit: The website is now open to public sign ups.
    Edit: Rusted now has live console feed and live chat from your server, so the whole site runs faster and you can see what's going on more clearly. Some server mods change things so let me know if you see anything unusual.

    >>> You can try it out at https://Rusted.cc and follow updates @RustedCC

    I think you need to add me as a friend in Steam to do a PM. You can also email support[at]rusted[dot]cc if you want :)

    Wow. Genius idea to add the map for a much faster way to check scenes out At certain parts of the map for various reasons (hackers etc.) honestly I will have to give it a try!

    Thanks, yeah I hope to do even more with that map in the future. It's been pretty handy for me so far.

    Great idea Daruyuki. That thought had crossed my mind but I since forgot it. Adding it to my Trello now.

    Thanks. Since the first post I've added a bans page where you see your bans list and can unban them individually. Also the option to set day and night length in minutes. Still a work in progress and still could use more testers :)

    The response so far has been great.

    Just added the ability to filter the items on the Items page. Should speed up the process of preparing Sets quite a bit. The site has now been tested to work in the 3 major browsers, as well as the Steam in-game browser, and the latest Chrome for Android.

    I second this. Usually with beta programs like this I try to squeeze out multiple bugs but I truly can say I haven't found one yet.
    Everything is working as I suppose it is intended and definitely has made my life easier. Thanks Smiley =O)

    Quick question :
    On the map are multiple arrows as well as blue dots...can you explain what that is?

    The arrows are more prominent locations like Small Rad Town, and Hanger. The little blue dots are just more points you can teleport to. I will eventually revise the map to be more clear on what's going on, but for now it's just a good way to get around the map quickly.

    is it safe to use?

    Hector, I like the way you think. I have an immediate suspicion of any program that I have to run directly on my computer; never know if it's a virus. Rusty indeed seems legit. Since I'm a web developer, I figured it was a natural thing for me to develop a website, so this worry of getting a virus is eliminated. I suppose you never can truly trust another person, but at least you'll know my software can't infect your computer :)

    Hi ^^

    The tool was so cool ! Just simplifies the system of teleportation between players, if that possible :)

    The destroy players and the map teleportation was very usefull and not prsent on every admin tool.

    Very good job !

    Some updates:

    Rusted is very stable and is working great for the testers that came on board. It's getting very close to ready to be opened up for public sign ups. Just need a few more new testers to make sure the initial set up process is still working well.

    Per popular request I added a Donate page to the site. I had planned to offer certain features for a monthly fee to help pay the costs, but for now it feels better to just beg for donations and keep working hard on making this as good of a tool as possible. If I can get even a modest stream of donations or subscriptions then I will keep the site completely ad free (I hate ads with a fiery passion).

    Works, great. TP is a little slow.
    checking the log and "chat.serverlog: changed "True" to "True" (Boolean)" is inputted every minute or so.

    No problem, just a little bothersome. Other than that works like a charm:) Thanks

    Thanks for letting me know. Yeah the choice was to either to tell people they had to enter that chat.serverlog command in manually (to enable chat output) or just do it every time that script loads. It's technically not hurting anything like server performance, but yeah if you're using Rusty to see rcon output it might get annoying.

    I figured this was a better option to reduce friction for first-time users. I think I'll update it so it only does that when you actually initiate chat the first time in a session, then you'll only see it once in a while.

    Edit: Okay, I've made this change. Now the command is still issued, but only when you first click Chat. Will cut down on rcon spam :)

    I figured it was something like that. No worries. But just an updated comment. The fact that I can run this from my phone makes this Amazing!!! Admins should definitely use this. More active coverage is what all servers need.

    I'll message you using the website's live chat. We'll figure it out.

    Edit: For others' info, he couldn't get connected using any admin tool, so it looks like an issue with his host.

    Okay I added "Give All" and someone told me that Bandage was missing from Items so that's updated. Any other features you guys would like to see? I'm working on a few at the moment.

    It was me the guy from the bandage's, thanks there added now.

    I got anther question; How do I change the names of the item sets I created?

    And I'd like to see a option to ban a player for a certain amount of time, and an option to mute them in chat.

    Thanks all works great so far,

    Bas.

    When you have the set open, in the left box click its title:

    Couple things to try. First is, if you are totally confident that the query port and rcon password were correct, try it a few times to make sure it wasn't just something weird in the connection.

    Have you gotten it to work with other external tools like Rusty? If not, then it could be an issue with your host, some of them have problems with outside Rcon commands.

    If you still can't get it to work after that bit of troubleshooting, please email me your server details at support@rusted.cc and next time I'm at my computer I will see what's going on.

    I'm curious if there are a lot of people who run more than one Rust game server? I know in many other Source games some people have found ways to be profitable serial server admins. I'm wondering how much support I should build into Rusted for people in that situation.

    Does anyone know how to change the title of a forum thread on here? When I edit my original post it lets me change the name but that change doesn't save. I just want to adjust it now that I don't "need a few beta testers".

    Progress has been steady, adding a few minor features or improvements each day. I'm now closed-testing a feature that lets you invite users using a connect code (so you don't have to reveal your rcon password) and set their permissions on the site. This has been a huge to-do for me since day one and it's nice to see it working so well so far.

    More to come.
