It's a small version of the background island (found here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/tractr/default/0001/01/2fdfd4abdc1d27c7e3cd9bc33a4c062139d1a14c.png)

Please add advanced options

You can go to the admin menu and select gamemode and custom and you can edit advanced settings from there.

Although, it would be pretty nice to have on the server site.

Colorset Management

You're able to upload and manage your colorsets for your server via the colorset management page. Uploading a colorset will immediately generate a preview for you to use as well as transfer it to your server ready for you to apply it whenever you want to use it.

Music Management

Using the music management page you can see all the music installed on your server and enable or disable those you need or don't. Changes to your music files will take effect once you start or restart your server. You can use the interface to upload music directly from your computer to your server either by dragging the files you want into the window or using the file selection button on the page. Also included is the ability to delete music on your server.

Finally!
My six year anniversary party failed because it didn't have this yet!

You never considered any alternatives to fix your music problem.

What alternative might that be?

[Chrono]

What alternative might that be?

Changing the colorset through FTP and changing the music through changing the gamemode in the admin menu.

Yep I'll be adding that next along with a few other things.

I'm also going to be adding some basic dedicated server management to the main RTB add-on. You'll have a "dedicated servers" button on the overlay (or something along those lines) which will allow you to manage all the servers you've got - or encourage you to purchase one if you don't have one and clicked the button out of curiosity. Initially this will just be the ability to start/stop/restart/update your server but I will expand on it.

also a more precise uptime would be nice

Does the CPU graph only note the CPU usage at the time it's put on the graph, or does it take into account anything between it and the last point? Slayer has a bit of an optimization issue that causes ten second lag spikes when the round resets if you have a ton of bricks, but I'm not seeing it on the graph nearly as often as in game.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it just takes an instantaneous sample.

At the moment it takes a reading every 30 seconds and the last one is used as the measure of 5 minutes. What I can do is change it to be an average of all readings over that 5 minute period instead.

How precise are we talking?

Instead of taking instantaneous readings, you should get the CPU time and divide by the interval of time since the last reading.
This will return CPU time, however I don't think it's precise enough:

Code: [Select]

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq Blockland.exe" /V /FO CSV
There's probably something in the WinAPI for this with a precise reading, but that's not the point.

Could you add some kind of free or trial version?

like a free version could be stuck with default files only and limited abilities

or a week/3 day trial

No - you've got pictures of the interface and you know what it's like to host a Blockland server. There may be a demo panel at some point but that's it.

Actually might not be that bad if you allowed a demo with the main restriction being a really low player limit, like 4 to 8 or something. Wait nevermind just realized why letting hundreds of people have their own small private servers with only you paying the bill is a terrible idea.

The average and maximum would probably be the most important values, if there's an easy way to indicate both.
