Possible new client for beginners?

[FredrikDuwell]

Hey everyone out there!
I've been working on a project called "SRCDS Client" in C# and the result was surprisingly good considering that I only spent a couple hours on the project.

I would like to request your permission to continue development of this project, and later on publish this, as for beginners who do not know the commands they need to start and run a SRCDS server.

The program is very easy to use, and will hopefully be even easier in the future. Right now you edit the "server.cfg" manually, but for every setting, there presumably will be a box for a value.



Could this be something?
Thank you!

It could be something alright. I'd suggest putting in a helpbox with a list of all the commands and put in an rcon console too.

[FredrikDuwell]

I've been working on this for a few hours only, and the stage of this project isn't even near a BETA.
Thank you for the tips, I'll look at it! :-)

One question: Does this use a rcon connection to the server?

[FredrikDuwell]

The client just basicly making the commands for you, there's no connection to RCON or the server in any way except that you can start, stop, restart, update and edit the "server.cfg".
I think this will make it easier for beginners to use the SRCDS client because they don't need to go through CMD to install, update or type any other command.

[Mike]

Oh ok. Well, it seems like you're on a good way to make something nice. Add a console (which auths over rcon and stuff) and a command list.

[FredrikDuwell]

I hope it will become useful, I really like the idea of it!

[Mike]

Yeah, seems like a good idea. After that, maybe you could make a basic rcon console? Like a small window with a popup requesting info to the server(s) you want to connect to and it'd connect to them and you can send commands etc..

[FredrikDuwell]

I'll have a look at it, I can't promise that it will happen! ;-)

We have no conection with Valve, we just support SRCDS. So there is really not permission that we can give you. That said, I don't see a problem with it as long is it does have the SRCDS installed packaged with it.

Ok, thank you!
Would you like me to release the current version here for testing?

Don't ask us all your questions. It's your project, so it's up to you to decide whether you want to release your client or not. It could be that you have some bugfixes and such to do before releasing the client..
