RCON Integration

Open the dashboard RCON page (or run /rcon panel and use the add-server action). You'll be prompted to provide:

• Server name — a friendly label for this server (e.g. "US East 1")
• Host — the IP address or hostname of your game server
• Port — the RCON port (check your server's configuration file)
• Password — the RCON password set in your server config

Use the test-connection action in the dashboard or panel to verify Arkanis can reach your server. A successful test confirms the host, port, and password are correct.

If you run multiple game servers, repeat the process for each one. When running RCON actions, you'll be able to select which server to target.

The action button is disabled. Connect at least one RCON server through the Setup flow before the action becomes available.

Clicking the action runs immediately against that server. No picker is shown.

The picker opens with a checkbox per server and an “All servers” toggle. Pick the targets, then click Run. The action is dispatched in parallel and a single result banner is returned.

Action type rcon_bulk_action. Records the actor, the action, the list of targeted server IDs, and a redacted_args payload that strips sensitive content:

• raw_console: only command_name (first token, capped at 32 characters) and command_length. The raw command body is never stored.
• announce: only message_length. The message body is not stored.
• ban, unban, manage_whitelist: player_id.
• All other bulk actions: empty redacted_args.

Action type rcon_bulk_action_result. Each row carries parent_audit_id, server_id, server_name, ok, and an error_code when the action failed on that server.

Removes a player from the active server. They can rejoin immediately unless you follow up with a ban.

1. Open /rcon panel and select Kick Player from the Player Management category.
2. Pick the target from the online player dropdown.
3. Optionally enter a reason that shows up in the kick notification.
4. Confirm. The player is disconnected and the action is logged to the audit log.

Applies a server-level ban via RCON. Bans cascade to every connected server unless you scope them.

1. Open /rcon panel and select Ban Player from Player Management.
2. Select the player. A reason is required.
3. Submit. The ban is enforced on all linked servers and logged with the actor and reason.

Lifts an existing RCON ban.

1. Pick Unban Player from the Player Management dropdown.
2. Enter the player's Steam ID or Alderon ID.
3. Confirm. The ban is removed from every server that currently enforces it.

Sends a private in-game message without broadcasting to the server.

1. Select DM Player from the Player Management dropdown.
2. Choose an online player from the dropdown.
3. Type the message body and submit. The message is delivered via in-game chat.

Broadcasts a message to every player on every connected server.

1. Select Announce from the Player Management dropdown.
2. Enter your message text. Keep it concise; some games truncate long broadcasts.
3. Submit. The message appears in-game for everyone currently online.

Returns a real-time roster of currently connected players.

1. Select List Players from the Player Management dropdown.
2. Arkanis queries every linked server and returns names, IDs, dinosaur, and growth percentage where the game exposes it.
3. Use the IDs directly in subsequent kick, ban, or DM actions.

Select Wipe Corpses in the RCON panel. Arkanis runs the corpse-clear command immediately, no arguments needed.

1. Open Allow/Disallow Dinos from the Evrima Game Settings dropdown.
2. Arkanis shows a multi-select dropdown of every playable dinosaur.
3. Toggle individual species. Submit to push the new allow-list to the server.

1. Pick Manage Dino Pool.
2. Choose Add or Remove, then pick dinosaurs from the selector.
3. Confirm. The master pool is updated and takes effect for new spawns.

Choose Global Chat from the Evrima Game Settings dropdown. Arkanis shows the current state and a toggle to flip it on or off.

Select Humans from the Evrima Game Settings dropdown to enable or disable human characters.

Select AI Spawns from the Evrima Game Settings dropdown to toggle AI spawning globally.

1. Open Disable AI Classes.
2. Multi-select the AI creatures to disable.
3. Submit. The selected classes stop spawning without disabling all AI.

Choose AI Density from the Evrima Game Settings dropdown and enter a value between 0.0 and 10.0. Lower values reduce AI populations; higher values increase them.

Select Whitelist to enable or disable whitelist enforcement entirely. When enabled, only players on the allowed list can join.

1. Pick Manage Whitelist from the Evrima Game Settings dropdown.
2. Choose Add or Remove, then enter the Steam ID(s) to apply.
3. Confirm. The whitelist on the server is updated immediately.

Open Join Gate from the Automation category. Toggle auto-kick on to have Arkanis enforce bans at the RCON layer even if the game server forgets.

Set the polling interval. Accepts any value between 10 and 300 seconds. Lower values react faster but use more RCON bandwidth.

Master switch for the Join Gate. Turn this off to pause auto-kick without losing your poll-interval setting.

1. Open /rcon panel and select Raw Console from the Raw Commands category.
2. Pick the target server.
3. Type the raw RCON command exactly as the game server expects it.
4. Submit. Arkanis captures the server response and stores it in the command history.

The history pane shows the last N raw commands with status (success or error), the server they ran against, and the response body. Handy for auditing and reproducing ad-hoc fixes.

An admin opens /rcon panel and enables the verification listener from the panel. Arkanis begins watching the RCON chat stream for verification codes.

The player opens /player panel and selects the Verify action. Arkanis generates a unique code and DMs it to them. They type the code in in-game chat; Arkanis detects it via RCON and links the accounts automatically.
