Hey there, So with all the improvements this mod adds I've been feeling that its pretty self contained, eg everything a server needs to run
Our server pretty much only uses a server manager currently for a couple of features but we use them 24/7 namely a ping kick feature as alot of the hackers we had were connecting from Asian countries (I'm not saying all Asians are hackers) but 90% of the hackers we used to have were Asian in origin, 9.2/9.3 seems to have filters most of the hackers (not all) out of the eco system so not 100% sure if ping kick is even needed anymore just paranoid at the moment
Anyways the other is server messages having in game messages rolling messages etc informing people of information, If there was say a text file / xml file the server could read and display at give intervals
One reason I bring all of this up is with the web interface do we really need the server manager programs running and throwing in alot of extra requests to the game eg spamming "LPE" and other commands to display the information, if the server had these few features inbuilt msgs and maybe ping block(if its still needed) then all you would really need is to access the webmap and maybe telnet,
I know there are other features like the custom commands like /gimme people like and the attempt of reserve slots (barely works), But honestly the work Alloc has put in is amazing and makes the game feel able to really cope without an external program to manage it or at least not needed to be running 24/7
How do you guys feel about it?
Also any thoughts on how to thank Alloc for his amazing work
P.s my comments are purely about server mangers accessing remote servers not ones running on the same machine
