Hey guys, thanks for the site and the tool by the way.
I owned and operated many servers over the years, and by far the best anti-cheat program I used was Counter-Intelligence (CI) from Invisible Warriors. Couple that with some custom server .pk3's I found and modified myself and some server hardening patches and you have a decent and relatively cheat-free server. I only wish and hope that the folks over at XNull can port the AA 1.12 patch they call Reborn over to SH. What they have done is reworked the game binary files from the ground up and reverse engineered the game to be an all inclusive server side patch to protect against exploits such as wallhacks, glow skins, sharking, etc.
Anyhow, it would be nice to have RCON control from this tool, but reinventing the wheel seems like a waste at this point. I would focus on the fine tuning of the server list tool, and pimp that out to spec. Maybe down the road after some time, incorporate some of the admin and anti-cheat features. I am by no means a code monkey, but if I can help in any way in the development or testing, and any web admin duties, please don't hesitate to ask.
Keep up the good work guys, I really appreciate it!
