Created page with "==  Problem  ==  You want to access the CD Key Hashes for players in a game from within a Python script.  ==  Solution  ==  Use the <code>host...."
New page
==  Problem  ==



You want to access the [[Player_Identity#CD_Key_Hash|CD Key Hashes]] for players in a game from within a Python script.



==  Solution  ==



Use the <code>host.rcon_invoke</code> method to send the <code>admin.listPlayers</code> command to the game engine; then use a regular expression to parse the resulting table.



<pre>

  import re

 

  def playerData():

      '''Returns a dictionary containing player data; dictionary keys are

         playerIDs, values are 4-element tuples, containing player name,

         IP address, IP port, and cd-key hash.'''

     

      rawData = host.rcon_invoke("admin.listplayers")

     

      pattern = re.compile(r'''^Id:\ +(\d+)                              # PlayerID

                               \ -\ (\S+)                                # Player Name

                               \ is\ remote\ ip:\ (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+):  # IP Address

                               (\d+)                                     # Port Number

                               (?:.*hash:\ (\w{32}))?                    # CD Key Hash

                            ''', re.DOTALL | re.MULTILINE | re.VERBOSE)

     

      result = {}

      for player in pattern.findall(rawData):

          result[int(player[0])] = player[1:]

     

      return result

</pre>



==  Discussion  ==



This function packages the parsed data into a dictionary keyed by [[Player_Identity#Player_ID|Player ID]] for easy access.



A simple example of how you would use this function:



<pre>

 # print a list of player names, IP addresses, and CD key hashes:

 

 info = playerData()

 for playerID in info:

     print info[playerID][0], info[playerID][1], info[playerID][3]

</pre>



In principle you could do the same sort of thing with the <code>pb_sv_plist</code> command to retrieve each player's [[Player_Identity#PunkBuster_GUID|PunkBuster GUID]]. Unfortunately, there is a bug/"unimplemented feature" in BF2, the result of which is that Python and RCon clients never get any output from PunkBuster commands.



If you need to convert CD keys into key hashes, check out [[Cookbook:Computing_CD_Key_Hashes|keyHash]] or [[BF2_Key_Hasher|BF2_Key_Hasher]].
