More useful rcon commands

Post by pbx2 »

OpenTTD is seriously lacking rcon commands,

I'd say more than a few people might like it if the game contained better commands, If we had some more useful ones then we wouldn't need to have remote desktop access to servers.

Generating a new map (With modifiers so you can choose a seed, heightmap or scenario instead)
Changing the active NewGRFs
Toggling AIs
An administrator rank or a way to avoid typing the rcon password all the time.
Maybe an administrator GUI to save on typing all the commands or having to remember all the modifiers
and a couple more I can't be bothered to think of right now.

Thoughts?

Considering this isn't considered safe to do even in single player, I expect it'll cause more problems on a server, and also it would need to be coded with a way to interrupt a game so when changed all connected players can if needed download the GRF.

Sorry, I intended to mean the active NewGRFs for creating a new game, Not changing the in-game ones.
