Insurgency Sandstorm Receptionist

The ISR is a application for your Insurgency Sandstorm server. It checks every 5 seconds the online players and tells changes through the RCON „say“ console command.

Features

At the moment three features are implemented:

• Mentioning new joined players by greeting them
• Mentioning players who left the server
• Telling joined players the server rules (optional)

Run the ISR

To start the ISR make sure you have a config in the current directory (see example configuration below). There is one optional parameter: you can specify a different config file.

Example configuration

# hostname or ip of your server
host                = my.fancy.server
# server's query port
queryPort           = 27131
# server's RCON port
rconPort            = 27015
# RCON password
rconPassword        = supersecret
# welcome message, @ is replaced with players name
templateWelcome     = Welcome, @!
# farewell message
templateFarewell    = Player @ just left.
# rules file
rulesFile           = rules.txt
# delay until first rule is printed in seconds
tellFirstRuleDelay  = 30
# delay between every rule in seconds
tellNextRulesDelay  = 10

Besides the host and the rconPassword all parameter are optional. The default values can be found in the example configuration.

Rules file

The syntax of the rules file is quite simple: one rule per line. After a player joined the server, ISR waits tellFirstRuleDelay amount of seconds and starts telling the rules. The is because the player needs to equip and doesn‘t see the in-game chat. Every rule is delayed tellNextRulesDelay seconds.

Rule telling be disabled by simply omitting the rules file.

Known issues

In our tests it was not possible to connect to the RCON of a Insurgency Sandstorm server running on the same machine as the ISR via the loopback device („localhost“ / 127.0.0.1). So please use the LAN IP or the hostname in this case.
