As of PAM UO 3.1, HLC RCON has been integrated into PAM UO.  These instructions should help you understand how to install HLC RCON, how to use it, and what needs to be done if you are upgrading to newer versions of PAM UO.

CREDITS!!!
----------
First and foremost, I must take pause to give credit to the makers of HLC RCON. Many thanks to Moses of HolyLand Clan.  You can find the original un-edited version of the HLC RCON mod at here: http://www.frankenworks.com

IMPORTANT!!
-----------
Please note there are some changed between the original HLC RCON and the one included with PAM UO.  Some of these changes are due to the increased and additional cvars available to PAM UO.  However, there is also one fundamental difference that should be understood by server admins participating in Leagues and Ladders:

HLC RCON was originally intended for server admins to EDIT the PK3 to include custom maps and custom configs.  This is *NOT* possible for teams participating in LEAGUES and / or LADDERS!!! It is important that the PK3 file in PAM UO remain UN-EDITED for match play!  If you edit the PAM UO PK3 file, your server could be deemed un-fit for competition.

Server Installation
-------------------
1) Download the PAM UO Zip file, it contains all files you will need (you probably already did that if you are reading this!)

2) You will notice along with the PAM UO PK3 file there is also several config (.cfg) files included that all start with HLC_RCON, do *NOT* upload these to your server yet.  They should be customized and configured to your liking BEFORE uploading them.

3) There are two types of config files. Some are a dedicated for a specific purpose. For example, HLC_RCON_riflesonly.cfg is meant to hold the weapon configs you prefer for a rifles only type of server configuration.  The second type of config file is a custom config.  These are named like this: HLC_RCON_Config_1.cfg    These can be edited to be ANYTHING you choose, including an easy way to exec a league config if you set it up that way.

*IMPORTANT!*  Even though you can completely change the contents of these config files, it is important that the *NAME* of these config files not be changed at all.  If the name of the config files are changed, the mod may not be able to exec them at the click of a button!

4) Verify that the PAM UO PK3 is installed server-side.  See PAM UO install instructions for more specific details on this, but this is no different from normal for you teams who are quite used to PAM UO.

5) Upload all the editted HLC_RCON .cfg files to your server's uo/ directory.  If you did not use all the custom config files, that is fine.  You can upload the empty config file.

6) Restart your server.

HOW TO USE IT
-------------
First: It is important to note that you *MUST* have access to the rcon password of your server in order for HLC RCON to be of ANY use to you at all.  If you DO NOT have rcon access to your clan's server, HLC RCON is useless for you!

1) Install the PAM UO PK3 file on your local machine.  Please note that the SAME version of PAM UO must be used on your local machine as what is running on your server.  This means when your server upgrades to a new version of PAM UO, the HLC RCON users should upgrade as well.

NOTE: THE CONFIG FILES ARE NOT NEEDED ON THE CLIENT SIDE! It is not necessary to hand out these config files to each of your server admins. ONLY the SERVER needs the config files.

2) Launch UO

3) You will notice the HLC RCON Link in your MAIN Menu, click on this to OPEN the HLC RCON menu.

4) The last menu item says "Set Rcon Password". Click here and enter the rcon password for your server.  If you enter this incorrectly, HLC RCON will NOT be able to send RCON commands to your server.

5) Join your server.

6) You will see the HLC RCON menu in-game as well... Explore the menus, and Have Fun!

UPGRADING PAM UO ON THE SERVER
------------------------------
So there is a new vesion of PAM UO out and you need to upgrade, what does this mean with HLC RCON???
1) When the server upgrades to a new version of PAM UO, all clients who are using HLC RCON *MUST* upgrade to the same version of PAM UO as well.
2) It IS *NOT* NECESSARY TO RE-EDIT and RE-UPLOAD the config files.  Once they are on the server they will be fine.  You can make changes to them any time you wish, so long as you do not change the NAME of the config files.
