thevisad 11 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) I wanted to introduce the HNGamers DayZ serve watcher! This is being designed as a full server control system allowing a server admin to handle any requirement. After trying multiple server tools, none of them did everything that I wanted or needed for my server. I started developing this tool to replace the multitude of tools that I was using to handle all aspects of the server.Download: https://gaming.hngamers.com/DayZServerWatcher/http://abighole.hngamers.com/17kHz.pnghttp://abighole.hngamers.com/10Ryp.pnghttp://abighole.hngamers.com/1Dp11.pnghttp://abighole.hngamers.com/1rX1a.pnghttp://abighole.hngamers.com/1Ic3r.pngCurrent Features:Bandwidth Calculator to ensure proper setup of server.Semi - Automatic download of server files.Semi - Automatic backup of server files.Semi - Automatic update of server files.Semi - Automatic restoration of server files.Automated ban updating.Logon and Logoff BattlEye (to ensure server is active).All settings store in the local machine registry.Automatically generates config files based on settings when server starts.Automatically deletes all config files when server stops.Lock and Unlock server.Start and stop server.Automatic server restart if server crashes. - WIP - Partially workingAutomatic server restart if server locks up. - WIP - Partially workingDisplays program start up logs to ensure full functionality.Displays server logon and start up logs to ensure full functionality.WIP Features:Complete players list of all players on server.Complete ban list of all bans on server and global bans.Complete database list of all players on server.Server broadcast list for repeated and reboot broadcasts.Script generator for creating BattlEye scripts on the fly.Script watcher - automatically notify admin when detected scripts process.Security lock down feature to ensure settings do not get changed without password prompt.HNGamers - US 350 Edited July 27, 2012 by thevisad 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azunai 32 Posted July 19, 2012 whats the point in this thread ?no questions, no release, no beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thevisad 11 Posted July 19, 2012 whats the point in this thread ?no questions, no release, no betaIt's a pending release to gather interest and features requests, I am a single developer/server owner, I may have missed some much needed features. I will update this post with the alpha test information as soon as the alpha is ready to start testing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryahn 112 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) This sounds awesome. I have been using Arma 2 Rcon GUI to ban and kick players. And that is really the only thing that is useful. I cant wait to try it out.Also, OP, could you change your font. Its a little hard to read IMO Edited July 19, 2012 by Ryahn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andb52 12 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Hello! Some way to send automated messages before restarts would be great :-)And perhaps, if it's feasible, some way to determine how often individual players are connecting and disconnecting.

thevisad 11 Posted July 20, 2012 Hello! Some way to send automated messages before restarts would be great :-)And perhaps, if it's feasible, some way to determine how often individual players are connecting and disconnecting.The first one will be part of the broadcast system, I wanted to make sure that was very customizable. The second portion is a nice feature, I will see what I can implement for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thevisad 11 Posted July 20, 2012 Do you have a tracker or anything that I could sign up at to keep updated on the progress?I do not at this time, I replaced my TRAC and SVN server with a TFS server and have not put something in place yet. I will attempt to keep this post up to date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryahn 112 Posted July 20, 2012 I will be happy to donate. Be nice to have something better than BERcon and Arma 2 Rcon GUI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andb52 12 Posted July 20, 2012 I will be happy to donate. Be nice to have something better than BERcon and Arma 2 Rcon GUIWhew, isn't that the truth!If it works, I'll be happy to donate, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryahn 112 Posted July 20, 2012 It would be cool if like a RC version could be released. With the new patch 95208, Arma2 Rcon GUI and BERcon are timing out like a mofo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thevisad 11 Posted July 23, 2012 I am getting close to releasing an early alpha build of the DayZ Server Watch. I updated the top post with a video, I need to do some minor tweaking of the application prior to the release. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebianbluefox 29 Posted July 23, 2012 It looks pretty good for a hands off admin but for a full server admin + watching dayz for current relases makes it useless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thevisad 11 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) It looks pretty good for a hands off admin but for a full server admin + watching dayz for current relases makes it uselessNot quite sure I follow you... how is it useless? it has an updater for the current release of DayZ and it supports full server admin capability.

It is the most comprehensive server admin there is for DayZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 23, 2012 Not quite sure I follow you... how is it useless? it has an updater for the current release of DayZ and it supports full server admin capability.Looks awesome just from the description.I know your program has some of the features of BEC, but would it be possible to get a feature added that reboots other programs with the server when it goes down?

I can create a section so that you can pop in an application name to search for and shutdown. It would be a hard reset on these items though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thevisad 11 Posted July 24, 2012 I found a few bugs in the build I was going to release as a alpha last night, with a few hours of coding time today and some tonight I should be able to knock out these issues and get an alpha build out for testing tonight.TheVisad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thevisad 11 Posted July 24, 2012 I have sent a few alpha RC's builds out to a few guys. I am mainly looking for the application crashing on launch and ugly errors at this moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGoBlin 43 Posted July 24, 2012 Nice work visad, looks very much like GUI COD admin tools for COD4. I'm assuming this tool needs to run on the server itself or can it be run remotely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
