DescriptionThis utility is a way to control your blockland servers via the magic of the internet. I know that ZSNO has his own server control tool out (and it is a very good server control tool good job ZSNO), but that cannot control your servers remotely. This service can. I've actually been working on this project on-and-off for nearly 6 months, I never intended this to be a copy of ZSNO's tool.
You will be able to do various things with this tool, such as control your admin list and manage your preferences. You can also chat to people on your server and kick/ban anyone if you have to. I'm not going to go too in-depth into the features here; check out the features section of this topic if you want to know more.
Also, feel free to ask questions, I'll try to answer every single one I get.
FeaturesThis is what you will be able to do using this service:
- Chat with players
- Kick/ban players
- Unban players
- Allow others to access your server control panel
- Manage your admin list (also has support for managing your moderator list)
- Manage preferences such as your e-tard filter or welcome message. The service also has support for RTB preferences, and support for Blockland Glass preferences will be implemented at some point
- Enable/disable music or add-ons
- Load/save bricks on your server. You'll be able to load a save that is on your server, and you'll also be able to upload a save file from your computer
- Keep a graph of server player counts
If you're worrying about website security, don't. I know what I'm doing and I would not dare to make this public if I fear there are security holes of any kind.
ScreenshotsHere's what the website looks like right now:
(Click to enlarge)
This is your server list, where all the servers you have registered are available.
This is your server settings, from here you can change who has access to your server's control panel.
This is the dashboard, which is what you'll see when you first load your server's page.
This is where you can view the server's chat. You can also ban/kick/unban people from here, as well as manage your administrator list. You can appoint moderators, but moderator-related buttons are not shown because Tournaments doesn't have a moderator add-on.
This is where you can manage your preferences, it looks barren because Tournaments does not have RTB. If it did, another box would appear where you could control your RTB preferences.
This is where you can control your add-ons/music. You will be able to upload add-ons/music in the future, but that isn't complete yet so it is not shown.
Loading/saving bricks has not been started, so I have no pictures to show for that.
To-do ListThere's not much left I have to do until this service is complete. Here's the list:
Finish save/add-on uploading- Create build saving/loading
Make player statistics- Look up every security exploit possible and test my site for these exploits
- If possible, convert the site over to the https protocol using Let's Encrypt
- Do a closed test to root out the last bugs present
- Make the service publicly available
