BattlEye RCon
BattlEye RCon is used by the following CFTools supported titles:
- DayZ (PC)
- ArmA 2
- ArmA 3
General
BattlEye RCon is a configurable optional UDP based protocol allowing specific remote control operations to be made for supported game servers.
The BE-RCon interface can be configured through a dedicated configuration file `BEServer_x64.cfg` (Windows) or `beserver_x64.cfg` (Linux).
Configuration File
The location of the configuration file is dependent on the hosting environment, and does not have a pre-defined place.
Common locations are within `profiles/BattlEye` (`profiles` may be `config` or `SC` or be named differently). It is generally located where the `BEServer_x64.dll` is located.
The configuration syntax does not allow for many options, the documented functioning parameters are documented in the table below.
| Parameter | Possible value | Details |
|---|---|---|
| RConPassword | Your RCon password. Maximum of 32 characters. No special symbols or spaces allowed. | |
| RestrictRCon | 1 or 0 | When set to 1, this will restrict all RCon connections and prevent certain actions such as kicking, banning or shutting the server down. When not defined, default value is 1. |
| RConPort | Allows to change the port BattlEye listens for RCon traffic. | |
| LogFile | (OPTIONAL) Path to where a log file of RCon communication should be stored. | |
| RConIP | (OPTIONAL) IPv4 for the RCon interface. Should only be used if the game server itself has been bound to a specific network interface. |
Firewall considerations
BattlEye RCon is a UDP based protocol running on the configured RConPort.We suggest the RConPort to be the game port + 3.
Example: Game Port: 2302; RConPort = 2302+3 => 2305
CFTools Cloud
The RCon interface must be available over the internet and firewall rules must be made approriately.
For kicks etc. to function `RestrictRCon` must be set to the value of `0`.
