Damn that looks nice,

Borland Cpp Builder, im 2 nub to make it in DevCpp

How to change the font size ? Not at the buttons but there where it shows what's going on server.

Something like this would be a pain to make in Dev-C++ unless you used a widget set (like QT or GTK+), but unfortunately for us programmers, folks don't like to install third-party software packages.

Nice looking app. Interesting "noob" concept you have going on there.

Yeah uh, kicking players with over 300 ping wont work. The ping variable only goes to 255 then resets to 0 and counts back up...

enesce : ping in REFRESH has only one byte, no way to fix it

Well, duh!

Nice code man!
good tool

Nice program!

rainrider, what are the chances of you taking the time to make the necessary changes for it to work on linux, and compiling a linux version?

Err, none I think. I haven't even Linux :/ I'll post soon sources, so maybe some fanatic could translate it for linux..

[btw I'm learning Java so maybe something, something...]

I've been using linux significantly more than windows, and most of the times i get hacker reports etc are when i'm on my linux desktop, killing time. Currently i use the original soldat admin in wine, but I'd love to have something real.

I'll try it out in windows and give you my feedback nonetheless :P

Great job RR! :)

Very useful tool. I?m using it all the time. Good job rr ;p

I love the features but it's kinda hard to use. How about adding tabs to change between servers ? I am getting lost with all these windows :(

hah rainrider
Above you got your first proof. With those windows program navigation from 100% decreased to 10% :]

Great tool, I was looking for something like that. Keep up the good work!

Changelog said:
quote:21.01.06: 0.02b
Fixed
- Tab event if nothing was in
- Refresh message timer
Added
- TDI [Tabbed Document Interface] support
- Hotkeys - shift + f4 toggle show/hide left
main form side, shift + f5 toggle show/hide
logo image, f12 - switch view style

There is a bug, I have sent you e-mail through the program.
*Edit: Also I have a few questions. What are the meaning of the timers and what the numbers mean ? In arsse I see what the players say constantly and if I type a command I see the result in the console. I can't see that in your program. And I think the program crash my servers for some reason. I have no idea why, I run it for a few minutes and server crashes :(

Refresh timer = players list
Timer = normal timer parsing whole informations

Bug with port connections fixed.
Commands and player texts are visible o_O

And I really don't know why ur server are crashing.. maybe too much players? :( I had esa turned on ~18h without breaks on 4v4 server and all was ok. CPU usage was 2-3%.

And how is the time get "counted" ? For example, if I put there "1000", how much is that in seconds ?
*Edit: Alright, the tabs working fine now but have a look at this:

[IMAGE]

1000 / 60 = 16.66 minutes =2-3% CPU? Christ, memory wh0re ahoy!

Nah! 1000 miliseconds [one second]. Damn.. I know where Access Violation could be [in releasing not initialized temporary objects] but there are few places where I'm doing the same action. I must reanalize 2.9k lines. :/

There was the error, I closed the program and the 2 servers I was connected both crashed! How about adding a "Disconnect" buttton ?

Damn , I'll just release sources and someone will be improving it.. this job is really too fatiguing for me. Sorry Leo : /
