Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted June 26, 2018 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 26, 2018 Server Management GUI View File It's been a long time coming, but managing servers has been kind of a pain with sorting through all of the damn config ini files. I wrote a Python script (compiled into an executable) that should sort that out with a simple GUI. I'd call it still in alpha/beta stages now, but as far as I and @Fffreak9999 were able to tell the basic functionality is good to go. What it can do: - Manage maps/crates and the most necessary config options - Create the .bat to start the server (You still) - Save/Load configurations (even after patching) What it can't do (for now): - Scale the window appropriately. - Let you move more than one map at the same time - Be aesthetically pleasing Installation: Just extract all of the files into the 'Renegade X' root folder. Just merge the UDKGame folder in if it asks. Then run UDKHandler.exe and you should be gucci. (I probably should have renamed it by now.. but meh.. Will rename in future versions) Submitter yosh56 Submitted 06/27/2018 Category Tools 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Goku Posted June 27, 2018 Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2018 Thanks for the up. Seems Sarah has already installed it on the FPI server haha. Few features for the idea pool: Auto restarter? (Im happy to explain how i handle auto restarting if needed) Option to check and warn if Windows error reporting is enabled. (Check the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting/DontShowUI), then if the server crashes it doesnt hang on the error box. I assume there is a way to check if the host server has cpu scaling enabled and also warn the user of the tool as well. Allow the config tool to suggest tweaks for settings to change to improve performance? Check the server specs and suggest a recommended player count? Include MaxMapVoteSize, map vote history setting and bBotVotesDisabled Still not having to redo the settings manually with each patch is amazing.

Allow the config tool to suggest tweaks for settings to change to improve performance? Check the server specs and suggest a recommended player count? Some settings could be altered without too much issue, but the server would need to be a very good one to handle any major improvements, such as changing some of the engine config settings, you could potentially come up with some settings that "work" but with so many potential variables, it would start getting complicated quickly. Also remember that this is a configuration tool, to prevent tedious altering of details it does not look into anything more than the config files, so is not set to check CPU scaling or other things of that nature. Alerting the person setting up the server as to a recommended player count, its not that simple, since some maps are definitely more demanding, which only gets worse with size, especially with high vehicle counts. I suspect coming up with guidelines would be rather difficult. 13 minutes ago, Goku said: Include MaxMapVoteSize, map vote history setting and bBotVotesDisabled MaxMapVoteSize and the Exclusion after playing value along with bBotVotesDisabled would also be rather helpful. As for the map vote history, if there would be an option to remove all the records with that, that would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was planning on working on this over this 30 day lull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisInVT Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 @yosh56, I'm getting the error "Failed to execute script UDKHandler" when trying to run this. I'm wondering if it's because I have the game loaded in a non-standard directory (E:\Renegade X), although I have this tool in there as well. I did allow it to merge the UDKGame folder as instructed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally this was always Windows Smartscreen blocking the executable for me, though I do know it will sometimes do it after a server has been patched.

Ketchup Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I was not sure if this was still being used or what? I tried running this, it told me: Failed to Execute script UDKHandler. I am trying to set up a LAN for my machines at home. I see there are threads about the INI and Bat files editing. I am still trying to figure that all out.

Ketchup Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I am still trying to figure that out. I need to keep tinkering a bit. If I get stuck I will definitely seek "faith restructuring." 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
