Detailed description

i wrote up a quick gui for the standard sauer server, in c++ and qt4, i currently only have windows binaries, but will upload linux ones, and will also upload the source sometime, this isnt an ingame gui, nor is it just a program to configure the server, all functions it has are used while the server is running, when you run the "Sauerbraten Server.exe" after you run the extractor, the server is started, and ready for you to connect to ingame.

some of the features of the gui include

-change mastermode
-change server info such as the description, password, max clients, port, etc.
-change map/mode
-kick players
-show player stats
-force intermission
-Clear Bans

*** UPDATE 1 ***
-Force map button that opens a new dialog that allows you to sellect map by name, select mode, and also displays a screenshot of the map
-server output console
-ability to send a message to the server
-dynamically updated player list that shows the players stats

i will be doing a lot more work on it, and i am also open to ideas, so any ideas or complaints/bugs you may have, just let me know

Mod file Cube 2 Server.exe (4.4 MB)

couldn't this be done as an in-game gui ?_?
this would seem more efficient

you dont even need sauer installed on the computer to use this, i just figured it could be usefull for some people, i was mainly just doing it to get used to gui development with QT

jon, make sure that the "kick player" button is fixed to actually kick people and not just ban them, with the normal /kick "CN" command it kicks and bans, to of course resolve the issue (though it will also cause a new issue) is /kick "CN";clearbans

it also helps if you have two buttons one for kicking and banning, and the other for just kicking (which as i stated above needs the clearbans)

the new issue however will arrive in the fact that once you clear bans it clears all bans and thus people you banned that you still don't want in the server will still be able to come back.

i will add a ban and a kick button, and i wont need to clear bans afterwards, i wrote up a function to kick, but i didnt add code for it to add the IP to the ban list, will update in a few

After look to screenshot:

show curent map, remaining time, mode and mastermode in user friendly format
replace mode numbers with user friendly names 0->ffa 1->coopdit etc.
more compact layout of widgets
list of players and bans as list on one widget
predefined list of standard maps
don't include not needed things as embedded http server...

also an idea, include random maps/random modes cfg that roto-rooter made http://www.quadropolis.us/node/2769

FAIL

diGruve | 2010-10-25 14:25

It not crash... it mean you dont have some dlls from mingw.

My computer has over 300 GB of free space on the hard disk and 4 GB RAM, so WHY WHEN I RUN THE EXE IT CRASHES SAYING I HAVE NOT ENOUGH MEMORY????

The application must be having errors, just forget it. I doubt jonlimle would work on this one again.

Hey don't beat up on the guy. It's hard to figure out which dll's to include sometimes.
Also this looks pretty cool, I think it should be encouraged rather than bashed.

Better not to poke corpses hoping for a reaction. For all we know, zombies aren't all that well mannered. ^_^

zombies are very well mannered, they wear suits, eat with silver ware, and right before they tare your head off to eat your brains they say thank you :)
