C Shell scripts for Soldat dedicated servers.
rcon_kills: Count the kills for each player and display a message after each defined row has been reached.
rcon_announce: Periodically display a set of three messages after five minutes + two other messages, after 30 seconds, counted from the five minutes.
rcon_commands: Execute commands requested by a player; currently, the commands are: !date (date Unix command), !info (uname -a Unix command), !script (script information; credits), !red or !1 (change the player's team to Alpha), !blue or !2 (change the player's team to Bravo), !spec or !5 (spectate; become a spectator).
rcon_balancer: Check for inconsistency in Alpha and Bravo teams and automatically switch the team of the last player who joined.
Install socat, change the scripts' execution permissions and run the following:
./rcon_announce <password> | nc <server ip> <port> > /dev/null &
socat exec:"./rcon_commands <password>" tcp:<server ip>:<port>,crnl &
socat exec:"./rcon_kills <password>" tcp:<server ip>:<port>,crnl &
socat exec:"./rcon_balancer <password>" tcp:<server ip>:<port>,crnl &
Windows users may use Cygwin to run the scripts (but they haven't been tested on this platform; testing is required).
On Unix and Unix-like operating systems, it is recommended to have a tmpfs mount on /tmp.
