HNGamers DayZ Server Watcher Thingie

[thevisad 11]

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.

It'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.

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

Nice work, this tool will come in super handy.

Keep up the good work.

[ryahn 112]

Do you have a tracker or anything that I could sign up at to keep updated on the progress?

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.

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.

Think it looks great

Will use on our servers and happy to provide feedback.

Cheers

I will be happy to donate. Be nice to have something better than BERcon and Arma 2 Rcon GUI

Whew, isn't that the truth!

If it works, I'll be happy to donate, as well.

[ryahn 112]

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.

If you release this tool on another thread than this, please shoot me a PM with the link to the new release thread.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

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.

[pvt_ammo@hotmail.com 164]

Nice work m8! It's looking very slick.

Keep up thew good work.

I would also love to use the this, will check in daily for more info.

It looks pretty good for a hands off admin but for a full server admin + watching dayz for current relases makes it useless

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.

You must not have watched the video. It is the most comprehensive server admin there is for DayZ

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?

Which programs would you like to have shut 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.

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.

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.

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?
