Nifty62 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hey all, I just started using AutoIt today and it seems pretty cool. I watched several tutorials outlining the basics and I think I have a grasp of that. What I'm trying to do is connect to a game server that I admin (7 days to die) and be able to receive the server information that it's putting out and issue commands to the server. A friend of mine said that in VB it's as simple as a couple lines of code that requires "http://IPADDRESSHERE:PORT and the server admin password. I'm told that the server continuously streams information (online players, chat messages, etc), so I need to receive this info and update the UI. So, here is my issue. I've never worked with TelNet before, I have no idea how to establish a connection using AutoIt and how to receive the data from the server. Any help you guys can give would be most helpful!

Nifty62 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 For the record, this is not for any nefarious purpose. I'm building a server administration tool because the commonly used tool is no longer compatible with the game as of last patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 2, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2016 @Nifty62 welcome to the forum. You may indeed not be planning any "nefarious purpose". However, in this area our forum rules are pretty clear: Quote Launching, automation or script interaction with games or game servers, regardless of the game. See you soon with a legitimate question I hope. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
