Server Monitor

jimbobslimbob · Post by **jimbobslimbob** » Thu Sep 19, 2013 9:12 am

Having recently started a server of my own, I found it necessary to create a small utility to monitor and restart the server program where necessary.

I wrote a small program to do this. For anyone that is interested, it can be found here.

Once you have set the executable file up in settings, you are good to go.

I hope some of you my find this useful.

Incase anyone is remotely interested, I am working on quite a few new features for the next version (which should be finished by the end of the weekend).

New features include:

- Single-click access to configuration, players online, bases, clan map and chat log.
- Backup and restore configuration files
- Players online list and count
- Ability to output status, population and name of the server to a file - formatted however you want
- Internal and external IP address display

I will post more information when the new version is up.

Hi jimboslimbo and welcome.

Thanks for providing a playground for us (server). Much appreciated.

Even if I'm not a server operator I can see that this little program is a really cool asset for those that are. Thanks.

See ya out there. I'll visit your playground soon!

You are most welcome. The community for it seems to be a decent bunch too.

I am looking forward to getting stuck into this great game! Tonight will be my first chance to get a good go at it

Thanks jimbobslimbob for setting up another Server for all of us to enjoy. Unfortunately I have not had any time to play lately. But next time I do I will most certainly visit your Server!......

If anyone is interested I have updated the EM Server Manager. Changes include:

- Ability to list all player bases in an easy to view list box, much like the players online one.
- Ability to output players online and player base data to file
- Small interface tweaks and bug fixes

You can get it from here..

Hi jimbobslimbob.

You should advertise your other EM gem . . . EM Ship Loadout Calculator v1.2

It's great fun to play with and plan a ship with a full overview. I hope you also manage to add mil frames. One suggestion, if I may - make it possible for equipment slots to be empty - not everyone has them all filled all the time! Is that the role of the escape pod entry? If so it looks a bit odd to have more than one fitted

Is it OK if I mention the two utilities in the Hints&Tips Guide?

Thanks for everything you're doing for the community and the game!

Hope to meet you soon.

I am glad you found it useful. To be honest it started out as only a fairly basic thing that I knocked together in about half an hour. It is far from perfect, which is why I did not bother to mention it here.

As far as the "blank equipment" thing is concerned, I have just this minute added "None" to the list, right at the bottom of the equipment list. Hope this helps!

You are more than welcome to mention it in whatever you want.

New version is up. Changes include a UI improvement and more comprehensive backup and restore features.

jimbobslimbob · Post by **jimbobslimbob** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 12:03 pm

Another new version is up. I think this will probably be the last version unless any significant alterations are required.

New features:
- Players Online Graph (can turn this on or off), showing server status over time.
- Updated to v4 of the .Net Framework.
- Included within an installer, that will optionally install .NET Framework 4 for you, if required.
- Other minor alterations.

Enjoy the (hopefully) final version!

Hola.

Good job!!!

But the last step in the installer (Execute the program) is wrong:

The installer try to start "EM Server Manager.exe" and the app name is "EMServerManager.exe"

Regards!

Hi Jimbo.

I've found an "issue" in the server manager....

The program don't work fine with the next condition:

If the server are installed out of C:\\SW3DG\\

The program try open the universemulti, the player list and the chatlog in the same path as the .exe but those files are in C:\\SW3DG\\EvochronMercenaryServer\\ ...

There are the list of files saved in C:\\SW3DG\\EvochronMercenaryServer:

chatlog.txt
chatlogfull.txt
clanmap.txt
list.txt
playerlist.txt
universemulti.txt

Can u fix this when u have some free minutes please? I like the program but i can't use for this reason...

(

Regards!
