Rocker's servers were a group of STK servers located in Germany and hosted by TheRocker. The servers were shut down on August 2023 due to lack of maintainership.

Description

Most of Rocker's servers are allowing Soccer mode only.

The servers use a modified version of kimden/stk-code. As that version didn't merge commits from other versions (both kimden/stk-code and official STK) for a long time, the commands' names and syntax may differ, but generally the set of commands is roughly the same as the set of commands for kimden/stk-code corresponding version (200828). One of the useful unique commands is /fake which can display a certain player as another player to all others.

Rocker's servers also typically host STK Super-Tournament, and also an Elo-based multiplayer ranking was introduced in December 2020, which became popular next month. Earlier, 1 vs 1 Elo-based rankings were introduced.

On July 29, 2020, an automatic scorer list was added to most soccer servers.

To comply with Super-Tournament's and ranking's web page requirements, the code may invoke local scripts and operating system commands to ensure that pages are updated in the same way as intended, so the usage of the code by other users is unfortunately limited.
