Baka Admin + SolTV v0.8.8 ~ A comfortable admin client.

[VirtualTT]

Not one message, I think its the amout of them.

Make a screenshot next time this occurs. Such a vague bug report doesn't help much.

[coxftw]

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

found nothing in SolTV.ini

[VirtualTT]

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

[VirtualTT]

"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?

[VirtualTT]

can't this program be abused by admins to have a free radar hack?

Basically it's what this program was made for Also you shouldn't call it a hack - it's 100% legit.

[Meteorisch]

Yeah well, incredibad then, not cool.

[VirtualTT]

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 

[DorkeyDear]

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.

[Illuminatus]

Does it already support the new Soldat server-version? If not, pls add support for it.

[VirtualTT]

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.

[thegrandmaster]

Is it possible to add hardware ID's as one of the columns alongside IP etc? If so, it's worth an add imo.

[VirtualTT]

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.

[Mighty]

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?

[VirtualTT]

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.

[VirtualTT]

From: April 13, 2011, 02:00:22 pmAlso some words about new message filtering system.
Click funnel button to open Filters dialog. 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.

[Stuffy]

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.

[VirtualTT]

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?
