RTB Dedicated Hosting Service

[Ephialtes]

So Lub and I have been working on a new feature for the management area of the service which is the in-server chat and player list. It's a simple feature that lets you view the live server chat and player list as well as talk to the players in your server. The player list will also give you the ability to kick and ban players without being in the server yourself. When talking to the server, the name you're logged into the site with is used and is shown in magenta much like the talk() function to speak as "CONSOLE."

You can also see here a couple of new features we've not shown yet which allow you to modify your server settings and apply them from the site, and also to load a save into the server either from your computer or from the list of auto-saves on the server itself (another thing we've not talked about yet) both of which are many times faster than uploading a save in-game.

nifty!

Kalphiters doesn't offer this quality, lol

That's epic

It's important to note that the chat and player list (including rank) are completely real time, no refreshing every half a second or whatever as seen in other implementations of web based game chat.

Neat. I asked Kalphiter to implement a chat panel in his remote console like six months ago but all he did was attach a large white box that doesn't give any helpful info. He also broke the window resizing in the process. :/

Will you have some function to display other messages to the console to tie into stuff like team chat and minigame messages?

Yep, at the moment it will only show stuff going through chatMessageAll, messageAll and messageAllExcept (with the exception of MsgClientKilled). There's a method you can use to write things directly to the chat:

Code: [Select]

RTB_Hosting.writeToChat(string);
Which will put it into the chat logs and also the live chat in the interface.

This service is looking really nice now, better than ever.

Maybe he said it through the remote console?

Pink chat is from the web, you don't have to be in the server to do it and it will use the username you're logged into the RTB website as.
