BETA Released!

Beta looks great!

Could you make it so that it is flexible at reading configuration files and allowing edits.  There are so many configs to manage . . . Maybe something a little like how MSConfig.exe reads the windows .ini files?  Mainly, it would be able to figure out the layout of a config file and update it without changing the formatting.  Rather than hard coding the variables  and descriptions, load them up from the config file.  For example the mani server config file is all set up for this kind of read-in--first line is the description, second is variable.

// Adverts 1 = on, 0 = off
mani_adverts 1

// Time between adverts displayed
mani_time_between_adverts 120

Thanks, looks good!

Yes, I can defiantly do that, I pretty sure that there is auto formatting built into the textbox control. I post a new beta in about 15 hours (going to the grand canyon, on vacation .)

Thanks for downloading!

Do I get front page if this gets popular? .

i downlaoded it, and ran the .exe and it downloaded fine, but then it kept repeating the process in he command prompt. It never let me edit any of the cfg or anything else.

[erix920]

Can you explain more clear for me? Or can someone else find out what he did to cause the error?
- This is why we have BETA testers .

[ZMD89]

i ran the easyserver.exe and it opened up command prompt and did all the shit that it needs to do ie: download all the server files. but it kept opening up more cmd prompt windows and starting the task all over again while i still had the first command prompt window running/finishing.

[erix920]

Well, mostly everything works except the CFG maker. You can get the current build at http://www.ecct2.com/ss/EasyServer.rar

If you want anything added please let me know!

i posted about this a while back, it sort of does the same thing. not saying your's is bad just saying there's something else out there that is similar. (i'm in no way affiliated with them)

[erix920]

Ahh, thanks for pointing that out, it seems like they are pretty popular. Seems like that script is overloaded in my opinion. But it looks really promising. This was just a fun project, I didn't want to make number 1. Atleast it works (I Hope).
