Version 2.5.7.1 License Update Released - 12/16/09

KVManager and KeyValueParser have been relicensed under the GNU GPL v3.


Version 2.5.7 Parser Update Released - 9/6/2009

The latest release includes the vastly improved KeyValueParser 2.0, which supports less strict KV formats.

The project tracker can be found here. Please report bugs there.


Since there are some SM users who aren't comfortable with editing the admins.cfg or admin_groups.cfg files, I decided to write a GUI to make things easier.

Screenshots





In the process of creating the above application, I wrote a C# / .NET KV parser and writer class.

This program requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.

The binaries ---> KVManager.zip

You can download the source code (if you don't know what source code means, you are trying to download the wrong thing) from SVN. The SVN URL is https://svn.microbits.info:444/kvmanager/trunk. The public ro username and password is anonsvn.


Licensing

KVManager and KeyValueParser are licensed under the GNU GPL v3.

Thanks to

BAILOPAN - For reminding me that a KV section can have it's opening brace on the same line as it's name, that a group key with an empty string value will cause a SM warning and other stuff I probably don't remember
pRED - For pointing out the SDK link
|TCO| SeEkEr - Finding the bug where flags weren't saved
albokid2468 - Finding the bug where admins.cfg files with no admins caused an exception
Everyone @ the SM IRC - For putting up with my random questions

This is exactly what I have been looking for. We have used Mani for several years and have different groups of admins. I am comfortable editing cfgs but just haven't figured out the groups for sm. Do I need to have anything else installed to use KVManager? Or can I extract the zip and use immediately?

Thanks

The next version will support editing group files.

You need to have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed to run the application.

*** Bump

Version 2.5 Released!

Thanks recon0, this will be a large asset to new users of sm. I have it installed and working, but the only problem I am having is when it creates the config file it is not saving the flags for admins or groups. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Nope. I forgot two lines of code that cause the flag string to update when you check and uncheck the checkboxes.

I fixed that bug and a few other things. See the Changelog for more details.

Version 2.5.3 Released!

This might sound dumb to some of but, is the .net 3.5 have to be on the server or just your home machine?
