Ok, looking pretty good so far, any third parties who are more tech savvy than me able to verify if this is clean?

[Azunai]

[prophate]

hmm had a few errors pop up

Looks good from screenshots but i dont care about how safe the file is. I better don#t download this time before it gets proofed official.

Would love to install and try this out but my computer has way too much important stuffs to risk virus/trojan - would really appreciate it if one of you IT nerds much smarter than me can check this ♥♥♥♥ out and confirm it is clean thanks!

Might be a stupid question, but I'm not afraid to ask stupid questions. >.>

Can I use this tool if I am using a hosting company to host my server?

Well something isn't working with the install.

OP, appreciate the effort... but seriously get rid of the SQL install dependency: it's complicated and avoidable especially for something as simple as an RCON client.

You really should make this Open Source, provide source code and the option for others to compile this themselves. Yes, it's C#, yes it can be decompiled, but that's not the point.

The number one issue with 'admin' tools is not that they are malicious for the user, but that they allow backdoor access into the servers they administrate. Keeping this open source would allow people to verify the trustworthiness instantly, and also help contribute by making it better.

Also, good job on providing this so quickly, I hope this does well.

EDIT: This really should be cross-platform as well. I imagine most dedicated servers will be running on Linux ( obv reasons ), and .exe limits this to windows. I know most users will be windows, so this isn't too much of a sticking point.

Tested, worked perfectly. Looking forward to auto updating the server/other features (Possibly a broadcast done 5 minutes prior?). Well done OP.

Hey guys, sorry for the inconveniences with the setup, I will update it today to rely on XML. Needed to get it done fast because many of my people needed an RCON Tools asap.

Up for today:

• Automatic Server Updater (local only, with configurable broadcasts)
  
• Remove SQL dependencies
  
• Option to use Portable (without setup)
  
• Provide VirusTotal scans

Give me some hours at work for this ;)
