I made a little banner using Java and rcon.
at the moment the program requires you to edit the source file to insert your server IP, port and rcon password. These edits are to be made in Banner.java just replace the YOUR…HERE messages. IP and password have to be within quotes (which are already present). port is bare.
(a little bit of coding knowledge is required I admit.)
Afterwards you can compile using
javac *.java
and to run it just use
java Banner [bannerFile]
where bannerFile is a txt file that has 1 banner message on each line.
To stop the code just close the window in which java is running or press ctrl+c to cancel it.
an example bannerfile
Welcome to our awesome Brink server.
Play fair.
Work together.
Keep moving.
this file has 4 different messages that it will loop through. You can also use color codes in the banner messages using ^0 - ^9 or any letter.
source files can be downloaded from http://www.ewit.nl/banner.zip
I would appreciate it if no one stole my code and claimed credit.
For more questions just post.
As for any warranty it is all on a use at your own risk basis. I do not claim responsibility when your server crashes or people leave because they hate the Commander: texts.
So far it has run stable for 3 days without crashing itself or the server so I guess it works.
Ps. I’m secretly hoping that the announced update will make this obsolete just as fast.
