How to make a RCON control via dialog.
What is this?How can it help?
This is a simple tutorial made by me(Necip) on how to make the commands of RCON on dialog.This can be easier to use and faster than the /rcon command.
What is RCON?
RCON, also known as Remote Console, helps you make thing out of the game's commands, it has it's own commands.
Do I need lots of experience to complete this dialog?
Yes, you need to know the basics as I can't explain all of them.
What do I need?
You will need the ZCMD include, which badly I don't have the link now...
What are we waiting now??
I agree, let's get started...
STEP 1.
We shall first start adding the includes and the color defines.
STEP 2.
We, also, need dialog defines which are total of 16.You don't have to use defines, but they make it easier and faster.Moreover, we need a function called IsNull, which will check if he wrote something on the dialog or not, and send him a message.
STEP 3.
Now let's make a Command for only RCON logged in admins.
STEP 4.
This step is a bit harder, you have to know about the OnDialogResponse function.Here I will post the DRCONLIST dialog's response, which means if someone Clicks on Change/Select/Choose or whatever, it will call other dialog.
STEP 5.
Finally, we will need a function for the Timer of GMX to restart the server.This will send players a message and Send the command "gmx" to the RCON.
This is the end of the tutorial.Please note that this is first time that I make a tutorial, and it may be a little bit bad.I tried my best.Leave comments, feedback and questions below.

You will need the ZCMD include, which badly I don't have the link now...
What are we waiting now??
I agree, let's get started...
STEP 1.
We shall first start adding the includes and the color defines.
pawn Code:
#include <a_samp>
#include <zcmd>
// Colors
#define CGREY 0xAFAFAFAA
#define CWHITE 0xFFFFFFAA
STEP 2.
We, also, need dialog defines which are total of 16.You don't have to use defines, but they make it easier and faster.Moreover, we need a function called IsNull, which will check if he wrote something on the dialog or not, and send him a message.
pawn Code:
// Dialogs
#define DRCONLIST 1 // RCON commands list dialog
#define DHOSTNAME 2 // Hostname changing dialog
#define DGMTEXT 3 // Gamemode text changing dialog
#define DMAPNAME 4 // Map name changing dialog
#define DKICK 5 // Kicking dialog
#define DBAN 6 // Banning dialog
#define DCMODE 7 // Gamemode changing dialog
#define DSAY 8 // Admin say dialog
#define DBANIP 9 // Ban IP dialog
#define DUNBANIP 10 // Unban IP dialog
#define DGRAVITY 11 // Gravity changing dialog
#define DWEATHER 12 // Weather changing dialog
#define DLOADFS 13 // FS loading dialog
#define DWEBURL 14 // Web URL changing dialog
#define DUNLOADFS 15 // FS unloading dialog
#define DRELOADFS 16 // FS reloading dialog
// IsNull
#define IsNull(%1) \
((!(%1[0])) || (((%1[0]) == '\1') && (!(%1[1]))))
STEP 3.
Now let's make a Command for only RCON logged in admins.
pawn Code:
CMD:rconmenu(playerid, params[]) // We will call it /rconmenu
{
if(IsPlayerAdmin(playerid)) // Checks if the player is RCON admin
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DRCONLIST, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "RCON Command List", "Exit\nHostname\nGame Mode Text\nMap Name\nKick\nBan\nChange Mode\nGMX\nSay\nBan IP\nUnban IP\nGravity\nWeather\nLoad Filterscript\nWeb URL\nUnload Filterscript\nReload Filterscript", "Select", "Close"); // Dialog with the things we gotta do
}
else // If not RCON Admin show this message
{
SendClientMessage(playerid, CGREY, "You need to be Logged In as RCON Administrator.");
}
return 1;
}
STEP 4.
This step is a bit harder, you have to know about the OnDialogResponse function.Here I will post the DRCONLIST dialog's response, which means if someone Clicks on Change/Select/Choose or whatever, it will call other dialog.
pawn Code:
public OnDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
{
if(dialogid == DRCONLIST)
{
if(response)
{
switch(listitem)
{
case 0:
{
SendClientMessage(playerid, CWHITE, " You have exited the Console."); // If he chose the Exit
SendRconCommand("exit");
}
case 1:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DHOSTNAME, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Hostname", " Please enter a new Name for your server:", "Change", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Hostname, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a new hostname
}
case 2:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DGMTEXT, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Gamemode text", " Please enter a new gamemode text:", "Change", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Game Mode Text, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a new Gamemode Text
}
case 3:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DMAPNAME, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Map Name", " Please enter a new Map Name for your server:", "Change", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Map Name, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a new mapname
}
case 4:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DKICK, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Kick ID", " Please enter the ID you want to kick:", "Kick", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Kick, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write an ID he wants to get kicked.
}
case 5:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DBAN, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Ban ID", " Please enter the ID you want to ban:", "Ban", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Ban, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write an ID he wants to get banned
}
case 6:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DCMODE, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Change Mode", " Please enter a new GameMode for your server:", "Change", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Change Mode, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a new Gamemode to load
}
case 7:
{
SendClientMessageToAll(CWHITE, " Server Restarting in 10 seconds!");
SetTimerEx("SRestart", 10000, 1, "i", playerid); // If he pressed the GMX, it will make him a timer which will restart the server
}
case 8:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DSAY, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Admin Say", " Please enter something you want to say:", "Say", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Say, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write an admin message to send
}
case 9:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DBANIP, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Ban IP", " Please enter an IP that you want to ban:", "Ban IP", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Ban IP, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write an IP he wants to get banned
}
case 10:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DUNBANIP, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Unban IP", " Please enter an IP that you want to unban:", "Unban IP", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Unban IP, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write an IP he wants to get unbanned
}
case 11:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DGRAVITY, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Gravity", " Please enter the amount of Gravity you want to be:", "Set Gravity", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Gravity, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a new gravity for the server
}
case 12:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DWEATHER, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Weather", " Please enter a weather ID to change Weather:", "Set Weather", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Weather, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a new Weather for the server
}
case 13:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DLOADFS, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Load Filterscript", " Please enter a Filterscript name to Load:", "Load FS", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Load Filterscript, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a FS to load
}
case 14:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DWEBURL, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Web URL", " Please enter a Web URL to set:", "Set Web URL", "Cancel"); // If he chose the Web URL, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a new WEB URL
}
case 15:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DUNLOADFS, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Unload Filterscript", " Please enter a Filterscript name to Unload:", "Unload FS", "Cancel");// If he chose the Unload Filterscript, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a FS to unload
}
case 16:
{
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DRELOADFS, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Reload Filterscript", " Please enter a Filterscript name to Unload:", "Reload FS", "Cancel");// If he chose the Reload Filterscript, it will show him a dialog which he will have to write a FS to reload
}
}
}

}
STEP 5.
Finally, we will need a function for the Timer of GMX to restart the server.This will send players a message and Send the command "gmx" to the RCON.
pawn Code:
forward SRestart();
public SRestart()
{
SendClientMessageToAll(CWHITE, "Server restarts!");
SendRconCommand("gmx");
}
