[UI Mod] Server Admin Panel

[eaxs]

About this mod
The server admin panel is obviously a tool for all savage 2 server admins. It allows you to change some basic server settings on the fly and change the map through an interface instead of using the console. This is a very early version and I'll add some more configuration options later. For now i would just like to get some feedback. Please read through the installation and usage description carefully!

Installation
There are 2 different packages for this mod, depending on whether you are using Stanz'/Wiwi's mod or not.

Full installation
Download this package and unpack it to:

• Windows: <User>\Documents\Savage 2 - A Tortured Soul\game\ui
• Linux: /home/<user>/.savage2/game/ui

Custom installation
Download this package and unpack it to:

• Windows: <User>\Documents\Savage 2 - A Tortured Soul\game\ui
• Linux: /home/<user>/.savage2/game/ui

Then open the existing "game.xml" and scroll down to the end of the page. Add this line above "</interface>":

<include file="/ui/admin.xml"/>

Additional install options
The mod only works when you're an action player on the field. If you want to use it as commander or spectator, you need to add the line mentioned above to 2 other files as well:

• game_commander.xml
• game_observer.xml

How it works
First of all, you have to be a player on the field in order to use it. If you want to use it as commander or spectator, please see "Additional install options" above. In order to activate the panel, type "/admin" in chat. This should bring up the new interface.

The first thing you have to do, is to enter the remote password so you can use all the functions. Otherwise its not going to work.

To get help on a feature, simply move your mouse over the area and a tooltip will appear.

Eventually, yes. Depends on whether I can fetch a user list or not. At the very least i can add a text box and you just have to enter the player name.

Nice idea

[t1ck]

simple idea, amazing work.
i often have ppl on a PUG server that have the remote pw but no idea how to change a map since they fail at console.
i hope they install this mod

I followed that steps and cant load the admin ui. it says the /admin command does not exist.using the custom ui download

Same problem as Killertofu. Installed as instructed but admin.xml not loaded. Using Wiwi's UI.

Edit: this is because Wiwi uses StanzUI_Chat. I just edited game.xml to use game_chat.xml. I can change the map, but it get a reliable packet overflow and boots me.

[Killertofu]

Yeah that fixes it!

The reliable packet overflow is slandered issue with the server. that is normal although it does not always do it, there is not much you can do about that.

Change name and change password did not work for me. Trying to change name or password resulted in blank strings for both in startup.cfg
