Hello Bohemia Interactive Team,
Please note: this is not a bug report, but feedback and a feature request to enrich the in‑game and RCon admin commands in Arma Reforger.As a long-time Arma server administrator, As a veteran Arma 2/3I'm writing to request expanded server administrator,ation capabilities in Arma Reforger. I’ve relied on a number of powerful commands that are currently missing or limited in Reforger:The current limited RCON functionality and ingame admin commands significantly impair server management compared to previous Arma titles.
Mission Management
– No #mission / #missions for on‑the‑fly scenario loading or listing.Please consider restoring these features from Arma 3:
Access Control- Mission Management: Restore #mission/#missions commands for on-the-fly scenario loading
– Missing- Access Control: Add #lock / /#unlock to pause or resume newcontrol player joins.
Scheduled Operationsins
– Only instant #shutdown and #restart; no options like #shutdownaftermission or #restartaftermission.
Configuration Hot‑Reload- Scheduled Operations: Implement #shutdownaftermission and #restartaftermission options
– No- Configuration: Add #init (or equivalent) to reload serverConfig.json without restarting.
Network Safeguards
– Absent- Network Management: Restore #maxping, #maxdesync, #dctimeout to enforce connection thresholds.
Diagnostics & Debuggingand #dctimeout and other commands a3 had
- Diagnostics: Implement #monitor and debugging commands for performance insights ( also to get server FPS via rcon)
– No native #monitor, #debug, or profiling commands for live performance insights.Restore detailed #userlist
Community Voting & User ListingBATTLEYE RCON FUNCTIONALITY:
– Vote- Command Set: Expand beyond the current four commands (#vote kickkick, restart, shutdown, #vote missionban)
- Chat Support: Restore ability to send/receive chat messages via RCON
- Player Information: Add Steam IDs, etc.) and #userlist are gone—only the basic #players remains.
BattlEye RCon SuiteBattlEye GUIDs, IP addresses, and ping values
– RCon currently only supports @logout; full BE commands (e.g., missions, players, kick- Ban Management: Implement comprehensive ban system with reasons and management tools
- Server Monitoring: Add real-time monitoring capabilities
These expanded capabilities would greatly enhance server administration, ban) would greatly improve remotecommunity management.
– It would also be invaluable to view and ban by IPent, see individual player pings,and the overall Reforger ecosystem. and record ban reasonsThe limited RCON protocol is particularly constraining for larger communities and professional server hosts.
HopeThank you restore the commands and add more commands to enhance the way admins can manage and moderate the serversfor your consideration and ongoing development work on Arma Reforger.
Thank you for considering this feedback. I appreciate your ongoing work on Arma Reforger and look forward to an expanded admin toolkit in a future update.Regards
