Version 0.0.2 (bugfixed) is here!

New Features:

*) New Info tab
*) Map-uploader
*) Useraccount-system
*) Modchanger
*) New Daemoncommands

I'll start with the logIn-dialog:

Changes:

The button with the user creates a new profile, and the floppydisk button overwrites the current user-profile!

New and shiny info tab :

The new info tab allows you to see more detailed informations about the server state!

You can change your own password, if you are not a superadmin and you can change the mod!

Check for updates:

Checks if there is a newer version. The daemon does this checks during the startup too

Mapmanager:

Allows you to add/delete maps. You can find the manager on the "maps" tab.

Notice that you need to stop the teeworlds server before you can delete a map!

Mapuploader:

Allows you to upload a new map.

Notice: Due to security reasons there is a filesize limit of 1048576 bytes = 1Mb

Useraccountsystem:

Now you can add users with different rights.

For example you can create users which can start/stop the server but can't change the configuration or upload/delete maps.

You can lock the network-settings too (The user can't change the ip, port, or external port of the teeworlds server)

If you lock a function, the appropriate buttons get greyed out for a better representation of the user's rights.
If a user attempts to use a function with insufficient rights he/she will get an errormessage!

All users can change their passwords using the appropriate button on the info tab.
Superadmins (The username entered during the configuration of the daemon) can't change their password for security reasons!

To create a user you have to use the new daemoncommands:

test
Prints a test-text to the console

adduser
Starts the user management and allows you to add users to the userdatabase

removeuser
Starts the user management and allows you to remove a user from the database

users
Shows a useroverview with rights of the users

version
Shows versioninformation

help
Shows command overview in the console

status
Shows status of the TeeWorlds server and if online more detailed informations (there are some linux problems)

start
Starts the TeeWorlds server if not running

stop
Stops the TeeWorlds server if running

quit
Quits the daemon and stops the teeworlds server

The daemonconfiguration changed, so you have to reconfigurate the daemon!

*) Now you are able to decide if you want to show the teeworlds server output in the console window or not
*) You are able to set an amount of hours (1-48) after which the backup files get deleted

During configuration you have to define a default mod:

You have to enter the name of the mod, (watermod, etc.)
The name of the executable (teeworlds_srv.exe, or ./teeworlds_srv , or,...)
A short description of the mod (Zombie mod by rajh,...)

The daemon writes the current mod using the following syntax:

daemon_currentmod MODNAME:PATH:DESCRIPTION

for example: daemon_currentmod Watermod:teeworlds_srv.exe:The watermod by inherited

If you want to allow the selection of more mods, add lines to the file twccd_config.con with the following syntax:

addServerExecutable MODNAME:PATH:DESCRIPTION

for example:  addServerExecutable Zombie Mod:zomb_srv.exe:Zombie Mod by Rajh

Notice that version 0.0.1 and 0.0.2 are incompatible! You can't connect with a 0.0.1 client to a 0.0.2 daemon and with a 0.0.2 client to a 0.0.1 daemon!

You need to update both applications!

You DO NOT need to delete the profile of the client (you can reuse the old one)

Have fun!

Sincerely,
Filip L.

Edit (18.07.2009 20:38 CET+1):
Fixed client which crashes while attempting to save the profile with settingpairs containing null

Since now, the client should work as intended.

Edit (18.07.2009 23:49 CET+1):

v0.0.2_bugfixed released.

Modselection does not "swallow" the list. (thx to peter)
Fields should be cleared now when you create a new profile.
Added SerialVersionUIDs to some network token classes to reenable class-checks

This update concerns both, the client and the daemon

This is for real servers, servers with quality and so on... Almost all of that servers runs Linux. This should also run on Linux.

Read the first post xD

It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac and Solaris

Hey,
Great work mccae. A really usefull tool.

How can I set up 2 profiles on one daeomon? If I add in the twccd_confg.con all things for a other user I can only access to the profile from the new one and not to the profile from the first user (the client says that the connection has been refused).
Can you help me?

1 Daemon, = 1 Server = 1 Profile.....

That means: The Daemon manages 1 TeeWorlds Server with 1 TeeWorlds Config and it's own config.
Multi-User-System is planned for the next release, so you can set up multiple useraccounts with different rights (start, restart server only, or lock network settings like ip, port, password, rcon password)

Yes, they are allowed to use the client if you (the server provider) don't get a reward (money or other services) for hosting the daemon or hosting the teeworlds-server.

They need to accept the Alpha-Testing license.

Don't forget: It's a alpha version. It comes with no warranty and I don't assume liability for any damages caused by my software.

Yes, but I have to fix it so it works on linux machines

You're able to import/export cfg files,...
I plan to implement the capability to change between different config sets. So you would be able to switch between them.

Veeeery unsafe if you could type in the exe name using the client.
In the next version you will be able to set up a textfile with allowed executables
For example:

add ServerExecutable ./teeworlds_srv "Vanilla TeeWorlds"
add ServerExecutable ./watermod_srv "Watermod Server by inherited"

The list would be transferred to the client so he will be able to choose between the allowed ones.

One Profile = One Daemon which manages one TeeWorlds Server.

You have to add one profile for each daemon.

I will publish a Java API for developing.
So if someone wants to code his own client, he/she just has to use the give classes/methods to interact with a daemon

How can I set up 2 profiles on one daeomon? If I add in the twccd_confg.con all things for a other user I can only access to the profile from the new one and not to the profile from the first user (the client says that the connection has been refused).
Can you help me?

I sponsor some servers. Can they use the client? They pay nothing.

Some suggestions:

Could you (re?)implent the mapuploader?

It would be great if the users could change between different setting files. Like a user has a config for normal race server and dummy drag server and he don't has to change the hole settings if he want to switch.

Also a server.exe-changer would be cool. So that they can change between race mod or instagib mod for example.

And the last thing: Is it possible to control more then one server with one profile?

Windows users should download the windows version.

All other OS users should download the Mac/Linux Version.

For every version you need to have Java SE Runtime Environment 1.6.0 installed.

Linux/Mac users: If you can't start the jar through you GUI, fire up the console and start it via:

java -jar jarNameHere.jar

Linux users can install the java-jre through:

apt-get install java-package

I haven't tested my tools with Mac OSX.
Feedback from Mac users would be cool.

See first post for more informations!

Please post feedback, bugpreports, etc. right here

- Requirements to participate at the alpha test changed

- Screenshots updated

mccae,

This is not about being serious or not with your tool.
I'm just saying that many server admins are interested in those features which are included in your "TW: C&C".
But if you think we are idiots or can't use it well, then forget.

I don't think that you, or a part of the community are idiots,...
This tool is intended for professional use and requires a specific level of skill to set up the server-side application.
This includes Linux skills to date,...

If you would read the whole thread, you may see my answer to the post of Magnet in which I describe the current Problems with other OS versions.
You would see that I said, that the Tool will be platform-independed in the future. (I successfully compiled a stable Windows-Version today)

85,4% of the home-computer-users, use Mircosoft Windows, and the most gameserver hosters use Linux.
If you're a, as you say a "simple user", you have bad luck,...

You can install a Linux-distribution or start one from a USB-Stick on another Computer, or you wait for the final release which supports all platforms except mobile devices.

TWCC is more complex. If you want to set up a home/LAN server with aiding GUI, there's TSC I mentioned before,...

If you can manage to install two different operating-systems, you are cordially invited to alpha-test my application.

I'm not slighting it as idiot proof, I'm praising it as idiot-proof!
It's a simple and fast way to create a teeworlds-server on a windows machine!

Why should simplicity be a negative property?

I don't mean "idiot-proof" in the sense of: "for idiots", but rather in the sense of: "You can't make something wrong, and that's good."

Sincerely,
Martin C. Caesar
