Nice and thanks for the effort… we really need to be able to manage users tho…Kick, Ban etc … without that, it is not really very useful …
You can do that using the “Other Command” box by typing “admin kick #” where # is the client id. However currently there is no method to get a list of client ids/names. When that command is added by SD I will get that functionality in there.
If you are in game using RCON though you can do it somewhat though. Try typing in “admin kick” then hit TAB. I believe that will give you a list of IDs and Names. Then just look for the correct ID and follow the instructions above but if you are in game you must put “rcon” in front of your command.

I realise there isn’t a way for us to get a list of players in the console. However, that being said. How does a service GameTracker accomplish it?
gametrackers.com queries using the Server query protocol, http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Server_Queries#A2S_INFO. After getting a full list from the master server.
However the player list returned from the server is sorted by time connected. Not player ID or anything.

Or it gives that impression at least. I’ll look into it tomorrow :).
Do what has been explained and tested here: http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25037
Then use admin kick <tab untill the player you want to kick appears; in the format id:name>
Pretty simple and the best we can do today.

I was poking around a bit with this but I couldn’t find some of the values needed to make a valid request to the query server. From what I could see in the documentation only certain games don’t return the clientID so there is a chance it does for Brink at least.
It returns a valid string. 
The example above shows the DDD NYC server info from 2 minutes earlier.
It probably has to do with the endian since the protocol might require you to change the byte order. If you want I can give you a sample in Java that parses it successfully 
ByteArrayOutputStream outb = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(outb);
out.writeInt(-1);
out.writeBytes("TSource Engine Query");
out.writeByte(0);
DatagramPacket p = new DatagramPacket(outb.toByteArray(), outb.toByteArray().length, ip, port);
socket.send(p);
is what sends an info request to the server.
as for not returning the player ID. it does indeed not return that. or it does return a value but that value is 0 for everyone

The code i’m using works fine for lets say a Counter-Strike server but doesn’t seem to work when I put in an IP address for a Brink server.
