Author Topic: Blockland Remote Server Manager  (Read 8401 times)

Summary
This is a remote dedicated server manager for blockland. You run the application on the server and then you can control it from any web-connected computer in the world.
From the web interface you can do this:
  • Start the server
  • Stop the server
  • View the server console
  • Eval stuff
Authentication is done with a key which is randomly-generated when the desktop client connects.
Please note that when the application or web-interface asks for a key, it is this key it's talking about, NOT your blockland key.

FAQ
Q. Isn't this the same as the script released by Zack0Wack0 today?
A. No. While they are similar they work in different ways. Also, Zack0Wack0's script is easier to use (generally). I suggest running both.

Q. When I installed this I saw a new add-on called "Script_EvalFile", what is that?
A. That add-on is required for eval and server shutdown. It simply loops through a file and executes it if it contains anything.

Q. When the server is started through the web interface the dedicated server window is empty.
A. This happens because STDOUT is redirected to the proxy.

Q. I started the dedi but it still shows as offline.
A. This only works when the server is started through the web interface.

Q. What happens if I shut down my browser window or if multiple people use the interface over the same key at once?
A. When you go into the web interface you see what the output from when you connected to the web interface. If multiple people join at the same time everybody should see any output, but only you can see what you evaled.

Are you sure?
He was the one complaining over that I stole his idea and told me to make this, so yes, I think so, although he probably got it from you.

Rename "key" to "passcode" or something because some idiot is bound to put their BL key in.

Rename "key" to "passcode" or something because some idiot is bound to put their BL key in.
If they do they will get an error message since the blockland key is not a valid GUID/UUID.

The declared purpose here seems to be to put your Blockland server under remote control of a .tk domain held by maniacal children.

This is false. They've been hosting servers together for a while but they are not the same person.

oh see I thought it was because of this:
