There is something wrong with these commands.

'tis pretty. It's a shame that ARSSE is defunct. And it'd be awesome if you resurrected the concept behind SoldaTV.
edit: added to fan apps thread.

Well, /unadmip and /unbanip shouldn't have ip at the end... Otherwise they are fine.
Added small FAQ to the first post. ;)

I can't help but agree. If you aren't willing to make an XP version, maybe release the source so others will/can?
-
Download statistics for my Taunt editor and other stuff tell me that most ppl already are using Windows Vista/Seven. The rest who still run Xp are slowly switching to them too. And it's not like i'm not going to make XP version at all... However the thing is that i'll need to rewrite a lot of code in order to make it run on XP. Doing this now will result for me in rewriting a lot of code several times for both platforms since this version is far from stable/complete. And i'm not happy at all of such a perspective.
Releasing the source code probably will not help this situation anyhow... Who wills to do quite a lot of work knowing that most of it will be screwed with next beta release. No one ever collaborated in any of my other projects even though they all are open-source. Of curse none of them is an example of properly-documented software but i'm no going to mess this time with providing even basic comments and minimum clearance...
-
Right now i'm moving toward beta2 which aims at adding disabled functionality such as bookmarks, settings window, systray support, custom quick commands and fixing those major bugs found in testing release.
So this is how the settings window going to be:

Baka admin v0.6.2 Released
I've implemented most of planned functionality as well as improved UI and fixed all found bugs (surprisingly not so many of them were found) [pigtail] So i guess from now Baka Admin can be considered a quite serious concurrent to other admin clients.
You can find change log and download links in the first post (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=37258.00).

Where can I see the limit of max players?
Thank you for tooltips btw.
-
(http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/2892/28606579.png)
"Max players" is the "Player slots" parameter. I didn't call it "Max players" since it doesn't limit total number of players on the server, only humans.
Tooltips can be turned off in the settings.
-
Wow... this has to be the best admin client I've come across. I'd love to use this. I'd really really REALLY love to use this.
BUT (and this is certainly a big but... not that I don't mind them :D)
You haven't made it work for the current server version.
What the fridge! Why?!? I want to use this. I so desperately want to use this (especially since ARSSE doesn't work very well on my recently-upgraded-to-Windows-7 computer), but I can't, since all 5 servers that I manage happen to be current version servers, not beta servers.
arg!!! Please make it so it works on the current version servers, too. I beg you, kind sir! :D
-
Well... It was originally planned that stable BA version will support stable server version. Basically i was thinking that BA will be ready by the time Soldat 1.5.1 is officially released. But the things turned out that BA is somewhat ready while there is no clue from EnEsCe when new soldat version is coming out...
So i guess i'll add support for 1.5 servers as well... I hope this will also increase BA testers / bug reporters count (which is almost 0 right now :( )
-
I'd definitely do some bug reporting if I could use it. :D
-
Same here.
-
A very nice feature would be the ability to change the server version of the server your connecting to (which I think it supplies to you when you first connect, so that can be used), and having the protocol used to parse the content change based off of that.
-
the ability to change the server version of the server your connecting to
I'm not sure what so you mean by this -_-'
Right now the server is being rejected if the version it reports differs from 2.7.0 However the only difference in protocol is that new array of TagID in REFRESHX, so adding support for older servers REFRESHX responds isn't a big dial. The problem is that ban functions in the 2.7.0 server are working by banning TagID and this method is used instead of ban IP for all the ban commands...
-
the ability to change the server version of the server your connecting to
I'm not sure what so you mean by this -_-'
Being able to connect to different server versions via the same version of the program. Being able to connect to different versions across tabs would be cool.
-
Ok, now it supports 2.6.5 servers...
See first post for the download link. (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=37258.0)
you may notice some padding at the right - it's for quick commands panel (which suppose to pop-up at the right edge), which i haven't fully implemented yet, so it's disabled.
-
Suggesion:
Block running more than one Baka at the same time.
I always forget it at systemtray and I run it again =D
-
yeah, completely forgot about this...
I think i'll make running new BA just bringing to front already opened one.
-
I hate to be a bother, but when/if can we expect an XP version? Not all of us have made the jump to Vista/7 and a some of us aren't planning to do so until MS cuts off XP support.
-
Before i can start to work on XP version i'll need to:
- finish side quick commands panel to replace those 3 ugly quick commands buttons
- finish UI as a whole
- move all the image resources from main .exe to separate dll
To make it work on XP i'll need to:
- find a proper replacement for the split-buttons
- cut DPI scaling stuff which is used for the every control
- cut DWM stuff
- rewrite all the dialogs
- make XP-compatible version of the image resources dll
Since i'm using plain WinAPI any minor UI modification takes a lot of time...
Also i don't like the way players are listed right now, however I still unable to achieve desired behavior:
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/3728/testzd.png)
And it's not only about not working custom sorting, after every refreshx all the list items are always being refreshed and sorted. I'm using double-buffered drawing for list control, but without it on XP it probably will flicker as hell...
-
I also want to use smaller fonts in console and players list.
-
Well, i can add an extra option to the setting, however any UI modification takes a lot of efforts from me (And the Settings window probably needs to be transformed into tabbed view to allow further options count grow. (i'm scared even to think about starting such a transformation :D )
I wish i could make proper tabs with drag-and-drop support and x buttons, but that's probably impossible :(
Also what do you think of idea to remove images from columns headers and replace them with plain text?
I think i kinda overdid it, and all those images seem to destruct more than help... :\
-
Ok, now it supports 2.6.5 and probably 2.6.4 servers as well...
See first post for the download link. (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=37258.0)
YES! Thank you so very much! :D:D:D
EDIT: Quick Q, where do we report bugs? Got a bug tracker anywhere?
-
just post them here...
-
kk.
Well, I have one that is a very minor bug. If you join a server, and it has players in it, the number of players will update on the tab to the correct number. If you then leave that server, but with the same tab, join to another server without players, it will still report the same number of players as in the last server. I think it only occurs as long as there aren't any players.

Couple of things related to the console:
There are occasions where the console stops automatically scrolling when I don't want it to. I haven't pinpointed what exactly you have to do to stop it scrolling (although it's easy to make it start again, so that's alright).
If I want to highlight something to copy it, stop the console from scrolling, please! And also consider automatically copying anything highlighted in the console, to make things snappier.
-
Sometimes console stops to scroll when you minimize BA to tray, i think fixing this won't be a problem. However stopping console from scrolling when text is being selected and copying it automatically to clipboard might be a bit tricky. This was already requested so I'll see what i can do...
-
This is great, I'll never have to use ARSSE again..!
-
Umm I'm not going to use ARSSE too, sorry Shoozza, but love you ^^
It's slow and freezing >.<
(...)automatically copying anything highlighted in the console, to make things snappier.
No I don't want it, it's just annoying.
-
(...)automatically copying anything highlighted in the console, to make things snappier.
No I don't want it, it's just annoying.
I sometimes highlight things as i read them. If its uato copy, and similar to mirc, it auto de-highlights, then uhm i'd be upset (well, if i change windows or something and return to finish reading wherever i left off) well, if i could even use the program that is.... ^^
-
Well, i can implement this as an optional feature. And also i'll probably add Paste-and-Send (on Ctrl-D) feature. I'm using it in my Miranda so i guess it can be quite useful.

Well, at least stop the console from moving when you're highlighting it, or prevent it from de-highlighting when new messages get inserted. :D
-
As some ppl have already noticed, "Key" icon in the statusbar is always ON indicating that the server is password-protected from players. However this may be wrong. All current soldat servers have bug which makes them always report to admin client that they are password-protected. This bug was reported to Soldat bug-tracker (http://bugs.soldat.pl/view.php?id=565) and will be hopefully resolved in the next server version.
Also please note that all current soldat servers does not report whether Realistic/Survival/Advance modes are on or not. So unless you changed these settings using current BA session, corresponding checkboxes in the quick config may show incorrect information.
Server v2.6.5 doesn't seem to support "Scripted" attribute.
Also none of the servers reporting current paused state so it's being determinated by comparing timestamps of the current and previous REFRESHX. So it always takes about one REFRESHX sending interval for paused/unpaused button to be refreshed and it's not a bug.
-
Another suggestion:
For the join game button in the bottom right, you should make it use the current admin password as the password to join the server, so that not only does it bypass any passwords that might actually be there, you also get administrated on join. :D

Didn't know that it can work this way. Definately will be added in the next version.
-
Heh, yeah. I only found out near the start of the 1.5.1 beta about it myself.
-
I think only 1.5.0 and up client version (not 100% certain) supports putting in admin password as the server password, so doing so if you know its a server version for a client version lower than this would be pointless (and slightly take longer for the user to delete teh text, and THEN have to type in the password) so I suggest making a small check to see if server version >= whatever (whatever the server version associated with 1.5.0 is).
Or even having a 'save server password' type of thing saved somewhere, so any time you try to join that server, it'll plug in the server password for ya, kuz ur lazy :P.
-
Since BA only supports servers for Soldat 1.5.0 and higher and this functions works fine with any of them there is no need in any additional checks.
Saving server game password isn't a good idea since there is no way to get this password from server except for setting new one.
-
@VirtualTT: I meant like private servers that usually have a specific password for anybody who knows the password to join. Not a server that commonly changes passwords.
Also may be a bad idea since other ppl with access to the admin client (or admin client files) then have access to joining servers they may not otherwise be able to.
-
Actually right now everyone who has access to admin client and/or it's files can get all server passwords without a problem. Bookmarks are saved in bookmarks.dat and all the settings along with last session are saved in config.dat If someone get those two files he can retrieve all the information. Also as all of you can see, BA never hides passwords. So basically doesn't protect your passwords anyhow. But it's not a big deal... Server protocol is made so admin client sends passwords to the server as plain text, so protecting them doesn't worth it... It's not like it's your credit card pin codes...
Also here's screenshot of the next BA version, Quick config now supports profiles (they are saved as ini so you can easily add your own), UI was adjusted a bit, quick commands buttons were replaced with side panel, Players list now uses default system font so it should appear better now:
(http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8418/20100309162309.th.png) (http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8418/20100309162309.png)

Player display thing is finally readable, nice.

Well, at first I thought, the time of ARSSE is over and wa happy to see a new admin client.
Yet I have to say, even you maybe think its "great" to use the Aero effects or some fancy gui-playing..with icons, you made it just completelly wrong.
Your tool is not really useable without having aero or some vista/7 effects enabled.
Just check my screen:
(http://soldat.crckdns.de/images/gui-bug1.jpg)
..that is windows server 2008 (vista server edition) w/o having useless effects beeing activated. As you can see the icons and every "picture" is not shown and the functions behind the blank buttons are recognizeable only via tooltips (thanks for them!) ..
Would be really great to have a clean version of it without depending on some effects :)
Thanks
cracky
edit: bugreport1: IPs 188.47.14.31 and 93.105.144.230 are polish, but your tool does not recognize it, ARSSE does :) same goes for IP 87.242.46.36 (hungary) and 92.225.18.135 (germany), 81.246.149.209 (belgium) .. there is still a lot to do :) no clue how your tool works on the resolving, but GeoIP should work great
edit2: weird IP bug.. ARSSE shows IP 213.132.93.17 but your tool shows 17.93.132.213 (and this way does not recognize the country)

1. While writing BA i was keeping in mind that it can be used on systems with disabled theming. So it does not depend on Themes and/or DWM services (which is know as "Aero"). And should work fine without them:

Could you please use Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx) and tell me whether IconCodecService.dll v6.0 or higher and COMCTL32.dll v6.0 or higher are loaded into BA process; and also test wheter my other tool appears correctly in your system MPA (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=8661.0).
2. I have been testing BA only on my own local server which doesn't get many players from the internet, so no wander that country assigning problems may occur. I see what i can do about it...
PS i'd be glad if someone gave me access to his internet server to test BA ;>

Thank you for update.

Few words about how new features work:
Single click on Quick commands item inserts it's text to cmd edit box. Double click - sends command to the server if it doest end on space or inserts it's text to cmd edit box and hides Quick commands panel. Quick commands lists are stored in ".../Baka Admin/Commands lists/" folder as simple text files (you can find there list of standard commands). So everyone can easily add there his own commands or edit default list. Every line in the text file corresponds to a single Quick commands item. Line starting with "-" creates new group, all other lines are for items. Line format:
<command text>|<display text>|<tooltip text>
<display text> and <tool tiptext> aren't nessecary. Empty lines are ignored.
Profiles for the Quick config are stored in ".../Baka Admin/Config profiles/" folder as simple ini files.
In order to refresh the list of Quick commands and Config profiles one need to restart BA.
I guess all this stuff should be added into help file... I just don't have time to write it properly... :\
Also in the next version i'll fix Show tooltips option not affecting Quick commands tooltips.

VirtualTT, can you do anything about unicode characters?
(http://www.soldat-tr.com/upload/files/unicode.png) (http://www.soldat-tr.com/upload/files/unicode.png)
Characters which are underlined must be ı ş ğ ç ö ü etc...
-
Are you getting the same problems using default admin client/arsse?
Soldat server admin protocol is ANSI. So all unicode characters that can't fit server codepage are complitely lost (? signs) or corrupted on the server side. Also corruption may occur if the server codepage differs from the codepage of the system on which BA is running.
-
I've just realized that, this problem doesn't occur on Windows servers. The problem is only with Linux servers.
So it is soldatserver265's bug, not Baka Admin's.
I moved my servers to linux about a month ago.
I've never used Linux before, so I've never noticed that bug before.
Btw, unicodes doesn't work in 1.5.1 at all.
It was reported about a half year ago. (http://bugs.soldat.pl/view.php?id=520)

Actually if the problem occurs only with Linux servers the reason for it is that server's codepage is different from turkish so characters are getting corrupted. From what i can see on the screenshots your server is using default ANSI codepage (~western). Changing it to a proper one ( dunno how to do this under linux... ) should solve the problem.

baka admin dont work on my XP SP3, whats wrong?
-
It not Win XP.
-
v0.6.4 beta for Windows Vista/Seven (x86 and x64)
TO DO list
Nothing is wrong, current version of Baka Admin doesn't support Windows XP.
I'm actively working on the next version at the moment, it's getting several steps closer to XP.
It not Win XP.
Bad engrish have you XD
-
Virtual, your Admin Client looks very good so i cant wait for XP version! MAKE IT FASTER! xD all of XP users will be happy when you release it xD i hope it will be the best admin client ever!
-
Where can I find the current source?
-
Well, the source code for 0.6.4 that i released some time ago i is completely outdated so i decided to remove it. The source for v0.6.5 on which i'm working now is not available since nobody wants to participate in development anyhow. I think focusing on improving BA itself is more important than on providing proper documentation which nobody gonna use... So unless someone really willing to help i'm going to keep working on the source code alone. So probably no source code will be available until next version is released.
btw aside from general programming i would appreciate help with following:
- Installer
I've tried building it using NSIS, Inno and Windows installer but always getting stuck when it comes to details, such as providing options for portable/normal installation, different exe and lib versions for different oS and such stuff. I was even thinking about writing my own install system :'( - Help file
I'm kinda lazy to write a help file, also english is not my native language so my explanations and overall style aren't that good. - Proper icons set for players list.
Right now it's using 16x16 icons which aren't scaled if system is working in high DPI mode, so BA needs a whole new set of players list icons with 4 resolutions: 32x32, 24x24, 20x20, 16x16.

I am able to help with these, if you want. Although unfortunately I only have access to XP (home and pro scattered across the handful of machines I manage).

ok, here is unfinished help file i've made. It's pretty simple and is using same style as the help files for my other utils. Actually the "help" part is missing, right now it only contains features list and changelog...
Also i've registered Source Forge project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bakaadmin/). It also needs some setup, i'll try to figure out how to use svn they provide so it would be easier to collaborate.
I'll post some installer requirements/concepts later.

Yes. Took me about 15 mins to implement for myself, so... I don't see why not.

I've already fixed all those moving redraw glitches. Also it turned out that XP doesn't support group view which i used for players list so it appeared empty...
I can fix this too, but result output will be almost the same as arsse... :\

Under vista/7 BA can use group view for players list - with separate sections for every team with stats in the header. But under XP i can't use that, so players list would look just like in arsse as you can see on my screenshot. (except there is no team column and i didn't implement bg colour variation yet, but that's just small matters) So i'm kinda disappointed...
-
Minor bug relating to snap to screen edges: http://imagebin.ca/img/rNSJ92.png
It snaps fine when snapping to the bottom left (1 px from left, and 1 from task bar), but when snapping to the bottom right, it is slightly falling of the screen to the right. It appears to be larger than 1 px when snapping to the top as well (5 px to be exact, instead of expected 1; no screenshot for that). It may be a bug relating to my theme, but then again it may not be.
Baka Admin v0.6.5 XP
-
I think it assumes wrong window border width... Need to look at that...
From: June 27, 2010, 03:34:58 pm
I'm not sure about making different bg colours to indicate different teams, i can implement different font colour for "Team" column or different flags in front of player's names. Or should i stay with arsse-like view?
(http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/391/20100627231932.png)
I'm also planning to add toggle group view button to vista/seven version so player list can be switched to simple list view and all players sorted in any custom order. So this colour concept will apply to it as well.
-
New version includes:
- Xp support
- Autocompletion of typed commands
- Support for custom sorting modes for players list
- Support for custom colour themes for players list and log
- New hot keys:
- Ctrl+Add/Sub to adjust log font size
- Ctrl+Tab to switch to the next tab
- Ctrl+Enter in cmd box to send as chat (adds /say at the begging)
- Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+Click on bookmark to open in the current tab
- Passwords are now hidden if tab is connected (lol no more accidental pass screenshots)
- Drag and drop of bookmarks, various UI improvements, bugfixes etc.

I'm glad to see you're using sourceforge, but I strongly suggest you keep your current codebase in SVN and do the development there, and when you feel it's release ready, rar it up and release that, but still keep the latest ongoing dev in SVN. Version control is a very, very important and useful thing.
Passwords are now hidden if tab is connected (lol no more accidental pass screenshots)

Source code is available as rar.
I've tried using the svn SourceForge provides, however after reading like 15 tutorials something went terribly wrong and right now i don't even have any ideas how to cleanup all that s**t... :-[
About installer:
It should contain a set of shared resources which are the same for all the platforms (config and other profiles, ip db and flags, help file, etc). And 3 sets of platform-specific files (main exe and resources dll) for XP (x86), vista/7 (x86) and vsita/7 (x64).
For vista/seven users it should provide an option to choose portable(when config and bookmarks are in the Baka Admin folder)/normal(when config and bookmarks are kept in APP DATA) installation.
About themes: right now BA supports only basic colour customization, but the number of customizable elements will be expanded later.
-
I think BA seems pretty good now also with the XP support.
Because I'm not really interested in Soldat servers that much I probably won't be using this tool really at all, but if I ever need an admin client I'll probably use this one.
Good job and good luck on future releases. I'll be watching. :)

I am using the XP version of Baka Admin, but somewhen it just freezes. There is an error message telling me that "an error occured", so I can't help you finding the error source.
I administrate 2 servers with a refresh rate of 1 second. I only run Notepad++ and Google Chrome next to Baka Admin and my computer is no crappy one.

Well, i've received several reports about BA not working properly under XP, but i didn't find the problem source yet. If it's possible could you test whether BA crushes after some human players (with internet ip) join game (or join game as spectators)?
But i also have good news!
Sol TV is almost ready and will be included in the next version!

Something strange happened: I connect to a server and it just says "23:00:58 Connecting to the server... Soldat Admin Connection Established."
BA doesn't initialize the server settings nor can I see the player list. I cannot use commands and the quick configuration window has the default settings (DM in options when the server is running CTF).
I didn't modify any files or something like that, I just started BA again after it crashed.

Do you intend to post the source for your lovely map viewer?
-
Again - since nobody is interested in helping me writing it there is no point in sharing the source code. It probably will be interesting only to ppl who are wondering how pms renderer looks like. But for them it would be better to read directX documentation and browse SDK samples (part 1, 2, 3 and 5) that explain everything. PMS renderer is uber primitive, it takes less than 500 lines (and that's with working antialiasing and with change of resolution on the fly)...

Not necessarily. Rainrider's map packer / viewer is free/open source. It is written using opengl and the windows api. I'm just curious about your directx implementation.
And if you really got SVN (or git/bzr) working and asked for help in certain coding circles (IRC?), you'd get people interested.
To be honest, when there isn't money involved and it's just freeware, there's no point in keeping it closed source.
-
It's likely crashing when there are more than 3 players on the server. For example I connected to one server that had 2 players and it didn't crash when another player joined. After a while I tried connecting to another and it crashed immediatly (6 players).
-
What's the point of asking the source code for everything? In active open-source projects source is being published to allow community of the developers to improve it and not to satisfy the curiosity. Unfortunately nobody is interested in irc...

I don't believe the programs running have anything to do with it at all.
Unless you have flailing ram and using more programs at once makes you use more of it. (the flailing half) But even then, you might be getting blue screens, not just having one small program crash.

Maybe you've downloaded the version that is not compatible with the version of windows you are running? lol
The big green download button links to the vista/7 x64 version, so if you have something else you can browse v0.6.5b folder in the All files section. This is indeed a bit confusing, but BA doesn't have a proper unified installer and SF doesn't recognize different windows versions as separate platforms.
Anyway, i suggest to wait a bit until i release new 0.7.1 version later today. Btw release notes (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bakaadmin/files/v0.7.1/release_notes_for_ba_v0.7.1.txt/download) for it are already available.

What type of font are you using there? Font files are missing?
PS. I guess you can see (so far I can can't due to "font issue") chat console in SolTV window - so what about idea to give users possibility to type there? Just little text box.
Yet another fancy way to chat with people at server. While actually seeing them.

In Baka Admin's SolTV, the F1 controls menu is hard to read with the text behind it (F3 to remove the text, but still, need to read the F3 to know that ^^ it's a higher up one i could read kuz bg was dark enough). Also it seems the middle mouse button does not take me to free cam (windows xp version), although ctrl+* does. Is there a way to move the camera after being in freecam?
I'm guessing it tries to find the map from the Soldat's directory? Two things:
I suggest support multiple directories (or a direct link(s) to the maps folder).
I suggest having the admin client download the map if the maps directory does not have the map (or there are missing files).
(Sorry if either of these are supported already, I didn't look/try very hard to see.)
-
Atredes/GfF SolTV is using "Default system font" which supposed to be something simple that is available and working at any condition. I'm surprised that it fails to work on your system. I guess i'll change it to Courier New just like in the server log. Also i've noticed another thing: does the top part of BA window have such black background all the time? It shouldn't be like this.
DorkeyDear Middle mouse button is for panning, e.g. you press it and drag the map. It works just like in PW. I can add support for several maps folders (3 would be enough i think), but map downloading won't be added probably.
- If the server doesn't support map downloading it won't work anyway.
- Baka admin will require a write access to Maps, Scenery-gfx and Textures folders but it's designed to use only User folder where it will not face any restrictions.
- A sudden map downloading can cause additional inconvenience for players (e.g. they are having a duel/clanwar and connection to the server isn't that fast).
- I assume that you have full access to the server if you are an admin there. And admins are usually the ones who upload maps there.
Anyway to walk around this you can press join game button and let soldat download the map. So this shouldn't be a big issue.
-
Instead of whining like a noob, I'll show off your fantastic working product on my humble XP Pro with a windows classic theme (because I'm a nostalgia***). (see attached)
Also the netinstall of directx9 didn't work for me; it complained about not being able to fetch the file. I used the full download instead: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/DirectX-9.0c-Redistributable-Download-3545.html
Only complaint I have is that it isn't very smooth. The players seem sorta jerky.
-
jrgp From your screen shot it seem that you are also having problems with the font SolTV is using. To improve visual experience you can enable interpolation in SolTV.ini (along with Antialiasing and texture filtering). It's using simple linear interpolation so it won't be extra smooth, but definitely much better than completely without it. Also you may need to adjust refreshX rate depending on the server connection. Since admin protocol is TCP it's very sensitive to server ping / connection quality and at higher refreshx rates SolTV will tend to lag more.

I never thought that such a feature can be required... It doesn't seem that easy to implement...
But i've got another idea: how about SolTV capable of recording demos? Will such a functionality be used?

But i've got another idea: how about SolTV capable of recording demos? Will such a functionality be used?
Only if it outputs directly to avi/mpg/wmv. (instead of being all insane and spitting out OVER 9000 bmp's)
-
Actually i was thinking about output to SolTV-special format, with capability to play it later (with proper playback, not like in soldat). I'm not planning to implement any kind of video recording. Not even image sequence output, though i can't agree about it - it's a simple and reliable method to record and edit stuff, especially for rotoscoping.
-
@Demo recording: Indeed, this is a cool idea.
Some feedback for SolTV:
-I really like it, but I don't like how I am not able to see the whole map and the textbox at one time. Transparency (for the text) and/or a zoom function (for the map) would be a nice feature.
-Maybe add an option to disable messages written to the console by WriteLn() so you actually get to read what one writes.
In general:
-Text highlighting (just a little reminder)
-Admin script implemention?

Press F1 to get list of SolTV controls.
-Maybe add an option to disable messages written to the console by WriteLn() so you actually get to read what one writes.
There is no way to determine whether something was written using WriteLn(), however filtering of messages was already requested.
-Text highlighting (just a little reminder)
"was already requested"
-Admin script implemention?
This won't be implemented. Scripting ARSSE is using is mostly aimed on server enchantment, rather than directly adding admin client functionality. And therefore it duplicates server scripting functionality and that isn't a good thing, not speaking about situations when two admin clients connected to the same server were performing opposite actions cause of the scripts...

(14:56:09) (xmRipper) VTT, I don't want to see some specific lines in baka admin console. disabling them with wildcard support would be great.
-
Oh I was thinking "MMB" mean "press middle mouse button" not "drag middle mouse button" when I did it. It makes more sense to drag, but some reason it didn't click (in my head) for me when I first tried it. You may want to explicitly say that (or support clicking the MMB to change as well). Sorry for miss-reporting.

Agreed. Or at least hide them.
Is there log files? I seem to not be able to find them (but I didn't look very hard either) nor a configuration thing in the client for it.
Feature suggestion: somehow viewing a team's total kills and deaths (and average k/d ratio).
Bug(ish): The pause button does not become an unpause button right away. Same the other way around. Guessing it waits for the next refresh packet to change it.

Actually it says "MMB - free cam & pan", i can hardly imagine panning without dragging mouse. Part about panning/zooming seemed pretty obvious to me since it works just like in PW (or in AUTO CAD). Never tought that it can cause so much confusion...

There is no log files. And they probably won't be implemented. Server can generate detailed logs - why duplicate it's functionality?

I'm going to add K/D ratio i the next release. However in the XP version this won't be supported directly since it failes for some reason to work with groups.
Bug(ish): The pause button does not become an unpause button right away. Same the other way around. Guessing it waits for the next refresh packet to change it.
I consider this as correct behavior. This button works as display for paused/unpaused state and sends a command to switch server into opposite state. And since there is no way to determine whether state has really changed until next refresh packet arrives button shouldn't switch state right after pressing it. Also this helps to avoid double state changing.

ah yes, I remeber I suggested it to be possible to have the server save demos. but having soltv save them would be great...
just sad that pretty much all servers run on unix :/, and since soltv requiers directX it wouldn't be possible to add it to servers.
unless you would make the demo saving into the baka admin, and not soltv.
edit: o nvm, seems it doesn't support unix ^^
edit2: seems saving demos is already supported. but only with the dedicated server that comes with soldat.
also, make those quick config templates to change maximum nades, bullet-time off

That's not possible since there is no commands to adjust this settings. You can only change them in INI and reload it.

Hey, I've encountered a lil' issue, i've tried running SolTV (I've edited the .ini file) and whenever i try to run it on Baka, nothing happens, not even an error message ?
(I am using Windows 7, so that should work, maybe an error from me)
-

.. What are you talking about?
1) Unix != Linux
2) The fact that SolTV uses DirectX (instead of OpenGL, which works on Linux) is totally irrelevant to what operating system the server is running since SolTV's just parsing the REFRESHX packets which the server generates, not actually running on said server.
3) Yes, it does work fine connecting and displaying SolTV on Linux servers...
-
VinceBros
Does SolTV process become visible in Task Manager? Have you installed DirectX9?
SolTV's just parsing the REFRESHX packets which the server generates,
To be correct it is BA that is parcing REFRESHX packets from server and SolTV simply displays data sent by BA.
-
Oh,as strange as it is, i thought DirectX already was originally implemented in your computer.
Thanks for letting me know :)
-
Few words about DirectX:
Since Microsoft introduced DirectX 10 they have changed among other things distribution policy. From Vista DirectX runtimes are provided as part of the system and are not redistributed. Therefore they are receiving updates along with other system updates (actually they've stopped that dickness with new version every several months). It is true that DirectX 10 and 11 include DirectX9 components. However this DirectX9 components are from the time system was manufactured and they aren't being updated automatically to keep up to date with latest DirectX9 releases. Since it's a best practice to use the latest software, SolTV is using fresh DirectX9c released on June 2010. So Vista/7 users need to manually update their DirectX to make SolTV work.

Linux is based on Unix, making it an unix like OS. there are also mac OS X that could be drawn into the same category.
just using Unix to get more OSes in the same stroke.
2nd one... I have no idea what you're trying to say... but if you're suggesting somebody should host a windows server soly to have soltv active... then I don't know what to say....
as a linux server shouldn't beable to run soltv, neither is there any baka admin version that is designed for linux. since you can't run an XP version of baka admin on win7... then linux shouldn't beable to run a windows version.
3rd, what really? does soltv work on a linux server?
-
25 years ago you could've said that Windows is also based on Unix, but today Windows is Windows, Unix is Unix and Linux is Linux. SolTV works only on windows, but it absolutely doesn't care where and on what system your Soldat server is running.

No, 25 years ago Windows was MS-DOS and the only smiliarity it had with Unix at the time was the CLI. Everything else about dos was absolutely nothing like Unix. (file system layout, permissions (lack thereof), software development, etc).

You worded your originally post really fucking weirdly. I had no idea what you were trying to say.
Linux isn't literally based on Unix, it's just a clone of the POSIX specifications with GNU userland. OS X is similar, except instead of being a full rewrite it just borrows heavily from FreeBSD, NeXTSTEP, and some GNU.

Considering that "Microsoft entered the OS business in 1980 with its own version of Unix, called Xenix." i can hadly imagine that their concepts behind their later OS's aren't affected by the first experience... So DOS development was probably aimed at getting away from those heavy UNIX features that PC could hardly support at that time. They definitely were looking back on unix...

The only similarity Windows has with Xenix is Interix, the POSIX compatibility layer. Nothing else about Windows even remotely resembles Unix, and Interix is very, very rarely seen or used.
DOS was aimed at being easy for people who didn't feel like learning how to use Unix, as it had far less features and wasn't in the least bit intricate. And back then Unix wasn't free, was really really expensive, and only giant businesses could afford licenses.

aaanyway... SolTV shouldn't beable to be run on a linux server (if it's gonna be up and running all the time, then you need a server running it), so the demo saving should be in the baka admin client, since that's supposedly able to run under linux?
putting autodemo on soldat gather servers and soldat ladder servers would be quite interessting.

You're living in a different reality..
Baka nor SolTV can run under Linux because of their dependence on Windows tools, such as the Winapi and DirectX. I've tried both of them under Wine and they don't work well. Baka admin client has never "supposedly been able to run under linux."
If you want some sort of auto record just have baka run nonstop on a windows machine connected to a remote linux soldatserver.
-
you just said earlier that baka admin should work on a linux server -.-...
there's a big difference between connected to a linux server and running on a linux server.
well, having baka admin running on a home pc is certainly possible... but that's just ugly -.-.

Yes, there is a big difference, but you're not being clear which one you're talking about. It can work on a linux server in that it can connect to one, but not run on a linux machine.

Ok, new version is released!
Also new release includes several new SolTV features (now it's possible to type commands in SolTV) along with large set of options to customize it (font and all the colours SolTV is using for text hood and polygons are fully customizable now), and several bug fixes as well as minor performance improvements.

It seems that term "sys menu" is somewhat confusing for most of the ppl so they can't find Always on top option is SolTV. :-\ Sys menu is the default menu that every window has - normally it contains items such as minimize, move, close etc. You can call it be clicking on the small icon in the window caption, right-clicking anywhere on the caption or on the corresponding preview bar (see the image below). BA also has two additional items (to hide/restore local dedicated servers) there.

Pls implement the first two items (thats were ARSSE is better):
# More options to customize server log colours.
# Some means to filter unwanted messages.
(It's really hard to read the server log since it's only in one color).
Together with the possibility to play a soundfile when someone writes something (e.g. when some player writes "hax" or "hacker" it plays the notification sound so I know to check the server) this would be all I need. :)

Yes I know that, but I still don't get why. You said few pages before that you don't like the way ARSSE's scripting is used. But imo some simple onData event with possibility to send /command back would be enough - just to make the admin client able to respond to anything. Now you cannot even answer for !admin calls, which makes Baka Admin pretty much useless (so many hackers nowadays, you know ;-)), which is just waste of a great looking so far piece of code.
-
Scripting system ARSSE has was made before servers received proper scripting support and is mostly aimed at server enchantment. So today it's kinda worthless since everything can be coded to run on the server (which is way better since there is no need for the admin client to be connected all the time and no problems when several connected admin clients execute same or opposite commands; also server scripting uses normal syntax and offers greater capabilities). The only feature in ARSSE scripting aimed on client application itself is customizable logging. But this can also be implemented as server script. Btw i had an idea to add feature to browse server logs by downloading them from server.
BA already has highlight if someone types !admin. Adding customizable list of highlight messages shouldn't be a problem.
-
Btw, where is the default highlight sound file ("baka") located? Is it hardcoded?
-
It's in resourses.dll You can find original wav in the source code rar.

Im useing your program all the time. Its nice, but I have a few suggestions. I hope its okay if Im posting them here:
1. Make a checkbox or something to disable the auto-scrolling too the bottom of the console. Its really annoying if you like to copy a ip or something and it keeps scrolling down. (If theres already a button to do this, Im sorry for my stupidness.)
2. The possible to rename tabs and add them as a bookmark via right-clicking on them.
3. Make different colors for the console like in arsse, sometimes its hard to see whats going on.
4. If theres a large amout of text being sended by the server, baka seems to crash. (f.e. if some stupid hacker is brute-force-crashing the server.)
5. Also, a auto-/say-checkbox would be nice. I know you can do it with ctrl+enter, but it would be a nice to have.
6. The error-messages of SolTv are annoying, because they minimize every other application if they pop-up, which happens quite often because of unknown textures or something. Maybe you could make them less dominant or remove them completely.
Thats all right now. Maybe I'll add more later.
-
1,3 log window enchantments are already in TODO list
2 If server link is in the bookmarks list tab will get custom title automatically. Adding "Add to bookmarks" item to the tab context menu is a nice idea, added in TODO list.
5 I was thinking about changing Enter key functionality to prefix "/say" automatically if typed text doesn't start with "/" and Ctrl+Enter to send text as it is. This probably would be more comfortable as server admins usually tend to chat with players more than with other admins. Adding checkbox to alternate this behavior wouldn't be a problem.
4,6 What kind of error messages are you getting and when?
-
4: Different type of messages, Admin failed to connect (IP), or just some spam from a script.
6: If a new map loads, sometimes it says me "Could not load texture" or something like that, I'll check it exactly if Im at home. And, if the server disconnects, its says "Connection Lost" in its dominant way (Error noise and minimize every other application-window).
Also, I little response to the player if he enters !admin would be nice, something like in arsse.
-
4: But what exact message leads to crash?
HL on !admin is already implemented.
-
Not one message, I think its the amout of them.
HL on !admin is already implemented.
Uhm, okay.

is possible to decrease the size of the soldier? and remove the nick from above them?

I'm using "dynamic scaling" system for gosteks: if zoom value is low they are rendered 1:1 in screen coordinates, if zoom value is 100% and above they are rendered 1:1 in map coordinates. So there is currently no option to override this hard-coded behavior (for now you can only try to edit objects.png and shrink gostek images a bit), as well as nicks/flags rendered over gosteks. However i can add corresponding options in the next version.
Actually for me current size of gosteks seem to be quite small.
-
I'd really like to see filtering options, so that all "not allowed weapon spam" and some other stuff just won't be displayed
-
"Some means to filter unwanted messages." is already in todo list, so it will be implemented eventually. Though i'm not sure of how exactly it should be implemented: as shared filtering set for all connected servers, as per-page filtering set or even as optional bookmark information which can override shared settings. I personally never use filters in Miranda or similar applications so i dunno how exactly this filtering stuff supposed to be used.

I don't want to hurt you or your program, but im just stating, can't this program be abused by admins to have a free radar hack?

-
Yeah well, incredibad then, not cool.
-
lol man... What do you call scripting system then? An Uber hack? You know it allows admins to have infinite ammo, lifetime supply of nades, bulletproof vests, medkits and more, not even speaking of capability to kill anyone instantly :D
-
Server scripting can be done by server owner (or people with direct access to server) only. This allows for anybody who has the server admin port password to do.
But I don't think its that big of a deal. Its one of those honesty things that admins should follow.
-
Does it already support the new Soldat server-version? If not, pls add support for it. :)
-
It's doesn't yet since i've got new beta server yesterday just like everybody else did. Support for the new server version will be added soon.
-
Is it possible to add hardware ID's as one of the columns alongside IP etc? If so, it's worth an add imo.
-
I apologize for the delay of updates, it turned out that i've started changing things that would require a lot of more time to code than i expected. So it will take me another week or two to get it to proper working condition.
Changes are not going to be that considerable however: aside from support for new server versions and replacement of TagID with HwID, it will also support plain REFRESH for better compatibility. Things such as message filtering and log colouring will be added later.
-
Yeah log colouring would be very nice
One more thing, when Im at SolTV, there's no way i could see spec's ID. Or who's at spec at all. Players list at some key?
-
Actually SolTV already can display list of players almost like in soldat client, but i've disabled it in release builds. I can enable it in the next version though it tend to occupy somewhat large area.
Another thingy that is disabled in the release version is "killer-admin": cursor turns into crosshair and you can shot players(this causes /kill command to be send). I made it just for fun, but if somebody actually going to use it, i can enable it too.
Also i can add "Is alive" column and "has flag" indicator(probably) for players list in BA itself, if someone is interested.
-
Ok, here is new version: Baka Admin v0.8.0 (12.04.2011)
- Redone UI and most of the code.
- Added support for plain REFRESH so BA can connect to any server (SolTV is unavailable in this case).
- Added support for REFRESHX 2.7.0
- Added support for custom list of messages to ignore.
- Added support for custom list of messages to highlight.
- Added command prefix box.
- Added Сopy row menu item for playerslist context menu.
- Added it's now possible to move active tab with Ctrl left/right combination.
- Added log filtering dialog.
- Added dropdown menu with various reloading options for BA options button.
- Added ipdb stats are shown in About dialog.
- Added working group view mode for XP version.
- Added in SolTV Ctrl+L key to hide/show labels over players, Ctrl+T to toggle colour of those labels.
- Fixed in SolTV crush when certain graphic files filed to load.
- Fixed delete key bugs in cmd box.
- Fixed custom name not being assigned to tabs sometimes.
- Fixed bookmarks list getting on top of autocompletion list.

Also some words about new message filtering system.
Click funnel button to open Filters dialog (http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3949/20110413222417.png). It's pretty straight forward: uncheck various types of messages and press Apply button to hide them from log. Note that they still remain in memory, so if you you open dialog again and check some checkboxes previously hidden messages of corresponding types will become visible again.
Messages containing text from "ignore list.txt" are ignored completely.
-
A question: Why did you make all those weird /pm 1, /pm 2 command instead of making a little textbox after the dropdown menu where you can put in the ID? Also, any command with !admin at the beginning will trigger the alert. But alot of good changes, the /say prefix for example.
-
List of commands appearing in that drop down menu is loaded from "prefixes.txt" file which you can find in Baka Admin folder. To reload it without restarting BA you can use "Reload commands list" item from drop down menu next to Options button. And that prefix box is not just dropdown list, you can type in there just like in ordinary text box.
Isn't that how !admin should work? I know, highlight list lacks support for wild cards, but i think it's acceptable in it's current state.
-
From "can be easily done" list i miss log saving feature.
from "can't be easily done" i miss some basic of scriptcore. I'd for instace like to save all "joining the game" lines in seperate file. It's easy then to check ip ranges
and ofc, you could add some player info tracker (ip range, other nicks used by this player, last seen and so on), and ban manager and !whoisadmin and some cookiemonster to scare the players!
Does the "Dream ToDo List" exists? :D
-
Oh, well, I have a command: !adminlist. And everytime someone types it I get an admin-alert.
-
FalconPL, i'm definitely not going to add stuff that duplicates existing server functionality.
Stuffy, aside from obvious advice to modify command text a bit (why not !whoisadmin ?) i can only suggest to add it to ignore list for now (ignore list has priority over highlight list). :\
-
I believe you mean that soldatserver does write the logs.
Well, not all admins have access to server logs. I'd even say, they usually don't.

- Fixed scrolling over the end of the log when switching between tabs.
- Fixed various incorrect metrics in options dialog.
- Fixed Add a bookmark dialog appearing behind the edge of the screen if bookmarks list was empty.
- Fixed server passwords being forced to lowercase and therefore rejected by the server.
- Fixed anti-cheat filter name.
- Fixed various filtering-related issues.
- Fixed appearance of "admin chat".
This is how Find dialog looks like:
You can open it using Ctrl+F hotkey or using corresponding log context menu item. F3 key can be used for Find Next command. If this dialog looses focus it becomes 75% transparent.

holy s**t man, awesome.
EDIT: ctrl + f works, but only pressing f shows up the search dialog too. I guess this isnt supposed to happen?

It looks like I can't add anything to bookmarks.
When I press the button the main window gets locked, but no additional window appears, so I have to kill the process. Just freezes.
Win XP SP 3
Also, sometimes the pause/unpause button doesnt change - even though the game is unpaused, its still Unpause button.
-
Mighty you probably have an outdated version. Bookmark editing dialog problem have been fixed in v0.8.2
BA assumes that server is paused when game time stops. Aside from being an effect of /pause command this can also happen if server can't load next map or if server enters idle state (when no human players join for some time).
-
yeah, you were correct, sorry ;)
Keep up the good work :)
What about hiding msgs that contain specific string
Or you own colouring?
edit:
► 18:11:17 @[ay @[Mighty] damn
That's how "/say damn" is being displayed. Minor thing, still looks strange :p

yeah, i've noticed and fixed this already... just wait for the next release.

what about making solTV show medic kits and nade kits?
From: August 04, 2011, 10:49:15 pm
I noticed you can only connect to servers with ports between 1024-65535... could you make it possible to connect to any port? or is the port you join the game with not the same as the one you connect to trough with baka-admin?
edit2: I tried to use it on a server with port 88888, apperently it started looping the server from 65535 starting from 0, so the real port was 23352.. I guess this shouldn't be too hard to fix though...
-
1) Currently this (probably) can be achieved with custom refresh protocol, which i haven't finished yet (and not developing atm). So until dev team implements better refresh protocol such functionality will be unavailable.
2) you shouldn't use ports outside of 1024-65535 range. ports below 1024 are reserved, ports above 65535 don't exist.
3) the fact that soldat server allows you to set port to values over 65535 (and to cause integer overflow) is a bug in soldat server, hopefully it will be fixed. BA will give you a warning about incorrect link format if you try to use a port outside of 1024-65535 range - and this is correct behavior.
Also i've reuploaded rar with v0.8.5 Xp version - previous one contained incorrect exe file which refused to work.

Thx for updating!

Anyone else getting "Disk Full" errors sometimes trying to connect to servers? (needless to say disk space has been confirmed not to be an issue)
-
Is this a message from the server or from Baka Encoder?
-
I am not entirely sure. I believe it is happening on other remote admin console clients as well. It's something introduced in v2.7.5, I believe.
-
It doesnt seem to HWIDs, I cant see them, hwid box is empty, I could see them.
Game version 1.6.6; baka version 0.8.6
-
Ok, i've updated Baka Admin so it's now compatible with new Soldat server. This release contains some minor bugfixes as well. Also i've finnaly properly set up VS projects so building it from source is not so painful anymore.
-
yet another update: Baka Admin v0.8.8 supports Soldat server v2.7.7 (including beta ones)
-
(v0.8.8 x64 version)
/clientlist cmd shows v0.8.7
-
I indeed forgot to update internal version number and build date. But i guess dealing with these minor issues can wait for a next release.
-
Could you, please, add an option for "multi-line tabs"? Because if you have a lot of servers, then scrolling those tabs is not very comfortable. Or it could be a list (similiar to bookmarks) instead of tabs (as an option to choose).
Best regards,
Szaman :)
-
Roadmap for the next version:
- button to control log autoscrolling (or maybe i'll manage to implement it by listening to manual scrollbar movements, e.g. scrolling up - disables autoscrolling, scrolling to the bottom - enables autoscrolling)
- new hotkey Shift+Enter to send command to all servers at once
- tab bar improvements, probably not multi-line, but with variable width instead of horizontal scrolling
-
Hi,
Thank you very much for planning those improvements :)
Can I also ask for adding such features:
- scrolling tabs with mouse-wheel (like in web browsers)
- different visualisation of tabs where are playing human players (for example highlighted tab) comparing to those servers which are empty (or with bots only)
- option in bookmarks list: Create new as a copy of selected... (it would simplify server creation process to just one click and changing port and/or password)
- maybe you could think about some plugin/scripting engine? ;) It would be nice if it would be possible to customize behaviour of the BakaAdmin. For example: if I have a database with hwids and nicks I would like to add an option that would display on my console what are the other nicks of a player who just joined the game. Or to add such option in popup menu of the players list. But without scripting/plugins it's not possible.
-
Hey!
Thank you for your awesome app. It's really great and I love it. But tell me one thing:
What do you think about making it for mobile devices, especially for android :D? Supervising your servers from your smartphone, wherever you are, is not a bad idea, is it? ;)
Regards

I guess it's too much effort for the small group of users who would actually use it on that device.
You can mange your server from your mobilephone with a php script but there's no public release if I'm right.
-
I recommend using SplashTop app, its free on PlayStore.
It connect to your PC via internet and stream your PC screen to your phone.
I'm using it for more than year. If you have fullHD screen on your phone its pure joy of using it.
I even manage to play soldat on my xperia z1 using BT mouse and USB keyboard(OTG).
-
To be honest i don't like the current state of mobile industry at all. Especially touch screens and total control of vendors over applications and user data. Also (proper) development for android is rather difficult cause of fragmentation. So there is no chance for Baka Admin to show up on google play / app store / win store.
Akinaro
Wow, that's insane. I bet you've suffered from io lag.
-
I tried only SP mode :] Maybe next time I record small video how its looks xD
About mobile app:
Its doesnt need to show up in market ;]
Thx to android opensource system we can install any app we want, so its nothing more than downloading Android SDK and writing app. And then upload .apk file here, in forum Nothing more.
Even I made simple app using app creator, and if you have knowledge about writing apps(and you have) it should be nothing hard.
Fragmentation applies to android version, not to apps. You can, without problem, install app made for 2.1 and use it in 4.3 system. And you dont have problem with graphic, you can even work with graphics made for 800x480 screen and its gonna work on 1080x1920 screen.

I know such apps, I have even installed one, but they require the computer to be powered on all the time. Unfortunately it's not what I'm looking for.

You're using a 64bit build on a 32bit operating system. What do you expect?

did you try this version? its for x64

He says he's on windows XP and the error says windows is expecting a 32bit program. You posting a 64bit version for windows 7/8 is the exact *opposite* of what he needs.
He needs the 32bit build for xp: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bakaadmin/files/v0.8.8/Baka%20Admin%20x32%20v0.8.8%20for%20Windows%20XP.rar/download

EDIT:
Also HwID column is empty.
-
I have two suggestions:
- could you add an option (checkbox): "Automatically go to tab where !admin was called"
- could you add an option (checkbox): "Ignore !admins and !adminlist as admin call"
- Baka could also gather HWID-to-nick information, for example in .ini file:
[HWID123456FF]
Adam
Adam'
~Adam~
[HWID5555EEEF]
NotAdam
Trolololo
[HWID11111111]
SomeOtherPlayer
(...)
And then when you would move your mouse on the someone's HWID, then as a "hint" would appear a list of all other nicks that were seen with that HWID.
Or it could be an option in right-click menu of the player.
Nice option would be also to have a counter - how many times that particular nick was seen with that HWID.
Thank you for what you did so far :) Baka is great :)
Best regards,
Szaman.

Everything back to normal in final 1.6.7

Better use soldat script to do such thing.
-
Of course. But:
- Baka would allow you to gather HWIDs from many servers in very easy way
- You can replace Baka's INI file with your own - generated for example by scripts or other tools that gather such data for you now (to have more data)
- Integration with Baka would simplify admin's life ;)
-
Not everyone keeps admin client enabled 24/7. That's way your proposal sound strange for me ;P

My proposition: Increase length of chat input, sometimes I am entering queries to my databases manually and now it's very limited.

EDIT:
Also HwID column is empty.
BA uses server version to determine whether it is using known REFRESHX packet format. If it is not in the known servers list (which is currently hardcoded) BA uses basic REFRESH packet to query server info so HWIDs and SolTV won't work. There should be "Using legacy REFRESH" log message in this case. Beta and final 1.6.7 servers were already whitelisted, but i didn't expect that Soldat devs spawn "rc1" as well... I guess i need to move this whitelist into external file, so ppl won't need to wait for me to update BA to be compatible with the latest servers.
If i remember correctly "Bad packet size" messages indicate that someone tries to connect your server using incompatible (old) Soldat client.

- could you add an option (checkbox): "Automatically go to tab where !admin was called"
- could you add an option (checkbox): "Ignore !admins and !adminlist as admin call"

Automatically go to tab where !admin was called - that's not a good idea. Just imagine how annoying it would be when your tabs switch while you are reading log or just doing something on your current tab.
Ignore !admins and !adminlist as admin call - the issue right now is that BA uses straight approach and triggers highlight when any line from "highlight list.txt" is present in the message. I can add support for simple masks (with ? and * wildcards) instead.
Baka could also gather HWID-to-nick information, for example in .ini file - i think LogEye (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=34125.0) have something similar.
