As of the next 3.1 build, you can login to rcon in the menu and administer the server, no console required:
Doomguy doesn't seem impressed…

Nice.
How will this play out with the custom vote definitions in the future?

Ah yeah, I saw this come by on bitbucket. Does it completely replace rcon eventually, including showing messages send etcetera? Really good job on this!

This is a very good idea, most new people who come to Zandronum and don't know much about server commands well let's just say this allows for a certain ease of access, I mean don't always apply the easier things for the new people but when it comes to things that can be done in console that are useful for running a server in game, this is probably the better choice.

It's just a pretty menudef interface for rcon. It won't replace anything.
Thanks!

That's the idea.

When I right-click a player in the server console to kick him, it doesn't give me an opportunity to tell him why. That would be a nice feature to have.
I know that this might not be the right place to ask abut that, but where then? I am unable to log into the tracker to ask there.

And a list of top 5 reasons Options that you can simply click to choose, instead of typing the reason.

That's awesome. Just a reminder to all, there is still
QZRcon and
Skulltag's Rcon Utility. Granted that the Skulltag Rcon Utility is outdated but eh.
Just hope that things like Font Scaling don't get in the way. Or for that matter, any mods that replace Fonts.

Doomseeker has an RCON utility built-in. I haven't used DE, so I don't know whether or not it also has one.

DE does not have one built in. But if you put Skulltag's Rcon Utility or QZRcon in the main Zandronum Folder, and press R while selecting a Server in the browser, it will copy the Ip:Port into both programs, you just need to provide a Rcon Pass to login from there.
I wonder what ever happened to AdminScripts and another mod that allowed such commands to be used by authorized clients. I forgot who made both mods though. It was a neat idea, sadly it seems they have been lost. so I think anyhow.

dmflags and mapchanging is what would be the most awesome for me.
But especially dmflags. Its very uncomfortable with the numbers if you want to quickly change a flag.
