does a2s display player names now?

sly sand Jun 14, 2023, 7:16 PM

#

hum not sure what is a2s so i guess i dont use it

crisp bolt Jun 14, 2023, 7:17 PM

#

ah, how do you fetch the names and platform?

sly sand Jun 14, 2023, 7:17 PM

#

its a mod that does an http post to my bot

crisp bolt Jun 14, 2023, 7:17 PM

#

gotcha, fair, low key was hoping a2s has player names now

placid ravine Jun 14, 2023, 7:19 PM

#

This would be neat

barren mango Jun 14, 2023, 7:21 PM

This is very cool

crisp bolt Jun 14, 2023, 7:22 PM

#

how big can this message get? I think webhooks are limited to 2k characters

sly sand Jun 14, 2023, 7:28 PM

#

doesnt use webhooks, bot is in the discord server i can give you github bacon if you want to check

idle island Jun 14, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

I was thinking of mods that can talk to external servers, apis and databases and I wonder the privacy and possibly security implications

sly sand Jun 14, 2023, 7:34 PM

#

i'll keep this simple for now, but i guess ye there is quite a lot of ways to mess with this (for now)

doesn’t this pull ips?

sly sand Jun 14, 2023, 11:31 PM

hum i should be able to retrieve server ip, but like anyone connecting to any server

¯_(ツ)_/¯

how do you detect from which country those players are connected?

sly sand Jun 15, 2023, 9:20 AM

#

i dont

#

ha lol ok flags are faction players not ip country 😄

crisp bolt Jun 15, 2023, 10:27 AM

#

you see he cant use IP because mods cant see IPs

crisp bolt Jun 15, 2023, 10:28 AM

#

sly sand ha lol ok flags are faction players not ip country 😄

so USSR faction flag is just russia? kekw

sly sand Jun 15, 2023, 10:30 AM

#

nocturne whale Jun 17, 2023, 6:50 AM

Very interested in this! Would love to be able to use it for our group to track stuff like attendance etc

#

I'm sorry, but what's this mod about?

#

I'm ignorant

sly sand Jul 6, 2023, 11:24 AM

#

send player list to a discord channel

#

ill try to give more infos and access this weekend if i have enough time

sly sand Jul 8, 2023, 7:53 PM

#

Hi everyone so if you are interested in trying this out you need to do 3 things ->

add the bot to your discord and give it write access to the channel you'll want to use for this
(link to add the bot -> https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1101970805069451274&permissions=11280&scope=bot this add the bot with Send/Manage Channels and Send/Manage message permissions)
configure your arma server to use this mod 5D3CCC039449D1C8
you MUST add infos to your arma server config in the missionHeader part that is in the gameProperties section.

"missionHeader": {
                "DPL_DiscordChannelName": "(required) title of the channel on discord",
                "DPL_DiscordMessageTitle": "(optional) title of the message",
                "DPL_DiscordChannelId": "(required) id of the discord channel (right click on the channel and copy the identifier)",
                "DPL_ServerIp": "(optional) here you can set the ip:port that will appear in the message"
            }```
You can see an usage example of this missionHeader in the documentation (click on 'show example configuration' button) <https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Config#Example>

Consider this nothing more than an alpha test, no promises, but the only issue i expect is some very small desync (a couple minutes) between title and msg in peak hours (discord api seems wonky at certain hour, we'll see how it goes 😄 ).

Sorry should of been spacific, it would say game destroyed in my web console when I added the ID in my file for the game server

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 2:59 AM

hum 'game destroyed' is very wide error, i cant say its related to my mod since it works for 4 of my team servers without issues

placid ravine Jul 12, 2023, 2:59 AM

sly sand hum 'game destroyed' is very wide error, i cant say its related to my mod since ...

Could I get a pic of how you have it setup in the config file?

#

Yeah that’s all it said for me when I added it in :/

Okay standby, i know my issue

#

Could I send you a msg

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 6:10 AM

#

sly sand hum 'game destroyed' is very wide error, i cant say its related to my mod since ...

that's not an error, just a message that the server is shut down

#

the error will be before this message

#

how do you handle discord rate limits?

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

am far from it for now but there is logic for this in the library that i use

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

sly sand am far from it for now but there is logic for this in the library that i use

ah so I guess the bot sends requests to your API which then sends it to Discord?

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

mod sends to my bot that send to discord

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 10:54 AM

#

ah roger

#

great work, I need to add player reporting to admin tools

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

ye ive gone very overkill with redis and rabbitmq, the rabbit msg is consumed in ~40ms 😄 discord calls are threaded and can fail i dont think its that much of an issue to have some fails that result in desync sometimes (and i cant really do shit if discord api sometimes take more than 10s for no reason)

#

did this to learn more .net and rabbit stuff, next step is to use mini kube or microk8s to have a scalable 'publisher' (the container that receive mod call and publish in rabbit) if there is too much traffic and then apply same stuff with consumers if rabbit queue start to stack

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 1:30 PM

#

what does redis do?

#

you can retry an update if it fails

#

but for the purposes of this mod its not worth the effort

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

yes i think ill implement the retry with the rate limit callback that the library offer and thats it

#

redis save last time i received a call for a channel, if it goes up to 10m i send discord msg to show server offline

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 1:33 PM

#

why not just connect to the server via a2s for uptime

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

a2s means battleye must be activated no ?

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

don't think so

#

I wish a2s players info contained player names but it just has a counter

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:38 PM

#

yeah probably later, you can copy pasta my mod in the mean time if you want ^^

#

ill check this a2s stuff seems interesting, thx

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

do you know if the REST stuff in game supports https?

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

i use https ye

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

great

#

any reason you used rabbitmq instead of redis streams? you'd hit 2 birds with 1 stone with just redis

#

just for practice?

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

yes and way more chance to use rabbit for pubsub and redis for cache in work envs

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

redis streams are pubsub

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

yes but it is very new compared to rabbit

#

and probably dont have all the features

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

2021, not too new

#

doesnt have ssl in case you care about it

#

rabbitmq is still faster at scale, tho I have redis nodes that do 2000 messages per second and dont care

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

ha ye its already 2 years that i saw this, jeez 🤣

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 1:55 PM

#

but its good to have both redis and rabbitmq in your toolbelt

#

but give redis streams a try sometime

#

I switched most of my redis nodes to dragonflydb and had only one crash in a week

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:57 PM

#

but ye main reason is to learn rabbit and all the features with routingkeys, fanout and stuff like that that i still dont know and use

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 1:58 PM

#

its really straightforward

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 1:59 PM

#

ye i get the idea but i want to implement to be sure and know the quirks 😄

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 2:00 PM

#

and then you can have a look at NATS

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 2:00 PM

#

i remember dragonfly that looked interesting, dont really have a need but actually im gonna add it to the do list just for fun, do you use it in work production ?

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

yep

#

for caching, I have a few hundred GB across dragonfly nodes

#

I had one of them crash a week ago tho

#

if it keeps doing it I guess I'll go back to redis

sly sand Jul 12, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

ye or maybe do the 1.6.0 update from 2days ago (if you did not) just saw that -> Fixing stability issues in the transactional framework around blocking operations 😄

crisp bolt Jul 12, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

oh thank you for pointing it out

#

hope they got the admin panel working as well

crisp bolt great work, I need to add player reporting to admin tools

Hi @crisp bolt The functionality and efficiency your "admin tools" offers have significantly improved my workflow and made managing our platform a breeze. Kudos to your for creating such a fantastic product!

While I find the tool exceptional, I do have a query or suggestion to enhance its usability further. Currently, the way admins, bans, and system chat are displayed is in a single sentence, which can be slightly overwhelming to digest at once. I was wondering if it would be possible to split them into more manageable sections. For example, having separate sections or admins, bans, systemmessage ect.. would be immensely helpful. This modification could significantly improve user experience. 🙂

there are no plans to implement a "json prettifier" in the mod, how often do you edit the file for this to be worth the development time?

long light Jul 19, 2023, 9:56 AM

#

crisp bolt there are no plans to implement a "json prettifier" in the mod, how often do you...

I do it quite often, as I use
"repeatedChatMessages": [

crisp bolt Jul 19, 2023, 9:58 AM

#

you edit those messages very often I guess?

#

it's interesting that your provider does not prettify any json file for you in their editor

#

I know I will be adding it to my service because it seems pretty basic to me (along with buttons, hopefully)

#

I noticed the server host menu on PC saves prettified json, I will see if I can use the same save function in the mod

#so is this something some people would
