RustySpoon: iOS Administration Tool - Rust

Hey all, we’ve finally been able to get our iOS administration tool onto the iOS AppStore and are looking to the community for feedback and to work out what features are most needed/wanted in a mobile administration client, so we can begin development on the next round of features. Currently it'll manage multiple servers, show who's online, give you their details, including a link to their Steam profile, with the option to kick and ban with or without a reason. It'll also stay awake if you've got your device on charge so you can leave it to the side monitoring the player list on an ongoing basis. If you have a chance, download it and have a play. We've been running it on our devices for the last couple of weeks and it's really handy to have access to our servers anywhere. We're not planning on implementing an Android version, that's already taken care of by other developers, there's no point flooding the options there. Let me know below what you think and what you'd like to see, we're really open to feedback on this and we're hoping we can work towards a great iOS administration tool for Rust. iOS: [URL="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/au/app/rustyspoon/id1013565162?mt=8"]https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/rustytool/id1080216711[/URL] [B]Updated (16th September 2015) - Android Support[/B] Android: [URL]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rustfanatic.rustytool[/URL] [B]Updated (1st February 2016) [/B]RustySpoon has been renamed and is know called RustyTool.

I'm trying it, is a step in the right direction but without console is only informative of who is logged in. Good work, I'm waiting for the 2.0 version :wink: Edited: Some time it send "NoOP" command to the server....

Trying it now... Firstly it's about time someone tackled this. There are a couple of frustrating things missing though, namely the ability to edit server connection settings, and also an option to delete a server. Finally I'm having no luck in connecting to my server. Should the port be the server connection port or the rcon port?

You must use the rcon port.

So glad someone has finally started on an IOS admin tool, I think this is a great idea, I suggested it to the creator of rusty a while back(not sure if he approved of the idea though). looking forward to see how this turns out :)

You definitely do have to use that RCON Port and that's on me. I'll update the label in that box to be more specific. On the server list if you swipe left on the server it should expose the Edit button. The Edit page has a Delete button. iOS does need to be 8+ for this to work. The client will send three NoOP echoes in a row to the server before attempting to do anything to get the server to flush out and pending messages that cause issues on the client end. This is specifically related to RCON disconnected messages. This shouldn't cause any problems on your server, if it does please let me know. Thanks for the feedback so far. Appreciate the time.

[QUOTE=Nero_ink;48147555]Too bad, I'm using iPhone 4 with iOs 7.1.2[/QUOTE] Hmm. I'll make it work for you. The more I think about it the less I like the swipe to edit. It's not intuitive. You'll be able to edit them in the next release. Leave it with me.

v1.0.2 was released this morning with various bug fixes for iOS 7, usability improvements, and there is now Chat and Console access from within the app. :dance:

iPhone 4 with iOs 7.1.2, no JB. The edit server swipe work but if I try to connet to the server the app crash.

[QUOTE=Nero_ink;48177545]iPhone 4 with iOs 7.1.2, no JB. The edit server swipe work but if I try to connet to the server the app crash.[/QUOTE] Have you uninstalled and reinstalled as a test? I have a 4 here with the same as a test device and it's working ok, slow/chunky, but ok for its age.

[QUOTE=squarefanatic;48180360]Have you uninstalled and reinstalled as a test?[/QUOTE] Yes, no matter, even reboot the device don't help.

Ok, I don't know why but now is working, great tool. If you can in the future release please show the players connected time not in seconds but in H:M:S format.

Great app, only have 1 smaller issue with it, if I'm on other apps (for longer time) while Rustyspoon is running, then rustyspoon time out on the connection when I return to it.

lol, Apple users :vs:

I've been testing your setup for a bit to work it out with my iPhone 4 / 7.1 and it's working fine. Yeah I have to go in and fix those seconds, make a nicer looking display. Good to hear you're up and working.

Hopefully reconnecting is quick enough for you that it doesn't matter? [editline]17th July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=iScripters;48210890]lol, Apple users :vs:[/QUOTE] Thanks for the useless comment.

Not yours, of course, since it doesnt exist, but other ones? TY.

It tend to hang for a wee bit too long when you return to the app and it figure out that it timed out, but not that of a biggie. On another note, would it be possible for an option giving the possibility of a sound when a new player join? (if player list is opened)

Notification sounds would be handy for the way I use it as well, I stand my iPad on my desk and leave it on the player list or chat to keep an eye on what's happening.

Great work. Thank you! Sometimes the app crashes for me and its a bit slow (like lags). Im using iPhone 5 with the latest iOS-Release. Maybe is it possible to show the Chat by reading out the Log.Chat.txt? Another fine option could be, if I were able to clean the cache (old console and chat messages).

What device do you use? In other news there was a breaking change to the RCON system released this morning which has been fixed and looks like it's working now. It was preventing the Players list from working. If anyone has any issues with this further please let me know. I'll post again when version 1.1 is approved and ready to go live on the AppStore. :joy:

I use an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.4. It's sometimes laggy, I think it's something with the connection. Since yesterday is something new... I get ads at the bottom, but its okay so long.

A new version of RustySpoon was released on the AppStore this morning. This new version gives the ability to give players items in various quantities by choosing from a Category, then an Item itself. On top of this you can also Give All players on the server items in the same way, but you can teach all online players a blueprint for a particular item at the same time also. [I]We've identified a bug that needs to be fixed affecting giving items to players with accented characters in their names or other strange characters, we'll get that fixed and pushed through Apples gauntlet of AppStore approval queues shortly. For the most part it will work correctly giving items to players with not so complex names, otherwise give all works like a charm.[/I] Give it a run through, let us know what you think. If there are any items missing or in the wrong place let us know, these are all fed live from the interwebs so we can update them quickly.

You can use the steam ID instead of the players name...

[QUOTE=Nero_ink;48570592]You can use the steam ID instead of the players name...[/QUOTE] You are absolutely correct. I'm using Steam ID for the Kick and Ban functions, I have no idea why I went with Username for the Give To functions. Maybe I was overloaded on caffeine or drunk, probably both. I've just made the patch and submitted it to Apple with an Expedited Review Request so hopefully they push that through quickly. Thanks for pointing that out, I really appreciate it. I'll update when v1.2.1 is live.

v1.2.1 was released on the AppStore last night with the fixes made to the Give To functions. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Just stumbles across this thread and tool. Wanted to say thanks for doing this! Great up to date website too. Looking forward to using RustySpoon!

[QUOTE=BRUXXUS;48631334]Just stumbles across this thread and tool. Wanted to say thanks for doing this! Great up to date website too. Looking forward to using RustySpoon![/QUOTE] Hey thanks very much! I'm glad so many people are finding RustySpoon so useful. It's had 4300 views on the AppStore with 360 people downloading it to give it a try. I'm slowly adding features as I need them on a personal basis for my own server management adventures and wrapping in other features suggested by the community. If you have any suggestions please let me know, I'm always keen to add new things if possible.

Due to popular demand I spent the last couple of days porting RustySpoon to Android and you can find it on the Google Play Store by searching RustySpoon or here: [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rustfanatic.rustyspoon"]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rustfanatic.rustyspoon[/URL] [B]Disclaimer: It's a brand new app and could be buggy, but it's a start.[/B] It's working well on what few test Android devices I have so I wouldn't mind getting some feedback on it's performance everywhere else so if you post any suggestions or bugs please let me know what device you're using, what kind of network connection it was using at the time (wifi, cellular, sourcery, etc), and what version of Android you are using. RustySpoon is limited to devices running API Level 15, or Android 4.0.3 or higher due to some specific APIs we're using. Right now it's developed in parallel with the iOS version and when features are available there they'll be available on Android, in fact they'll be on Android faster as the Google Play Store approves updates in 2-4 hours instead of 7-9 days like the AppStore. Let me know how you go! :)

I pushed build 36 (v1.2.2) for RustySpoon on Android this morning after finding a critical fault in the networking code preventing player lists of more than ~8-9 showing up, which as you can imagine is super handy. >_> Make sure you update when you get a chance from the Google Play store to ensure it's working properly on your device. [I]Side-note to admins/mods, I updated the title on this thread by editing the original post but it didn't change the title in the list or at the top of this page. I don't want to create a new thread to avoid being spammy, sooo, can someone update that for me? The new title is supposed to be "RustySpoon: iOS/Android Administration Tool".[/I]
