==Broadcasts==

Broadcasts are messages that the game server can send out to RCON clients

There are currently 6 supported broadcast channels that can be used:

* '''Chat:''' Connected clients will receive the chat feed
* '''Login:''' This will inform clients when a player logs in or out
* '''Matchstate:''' Informs clients when the match is starting or ending (may add more later)
* '''Scorefeed:''' Notifies clients when scores change (both player and team)
* '''Killfeed:''' Notifies clients when a player is killed
* '''Custom:''' A customizable channel that modders can use to broadcast custom information

Server-side mods can be used to extend the information sent through each of these channels.

In order to begin listening to a channel, use the 'listen' command: e.g. "listen chat start" would start listening for chat messages being broadcasted

You can set channels that new connecting clients will listen to by default by adding this to Game.ini:

<syntaxhighlight lang="ini">[Rcon]
ListeningToByDefault=InsertTypeOfBroadcastHere
ListeningToByDefault=chat
ListeningToByDefault=custom
</syntaxhighlight>
&nbsp;

See the [[Server Configuration]] page for more details on how to configure RCON.
