Source Admin Tool (HLSW Alternative)
 

Hello.

So I decided to make some builds and post them of my HLSW replacement.

This is still very beta. I have very little time to test anything and don't personally run any servers my self.

It is built using Qt and requires Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 for windows.

So, what does it have and what does it lack.

This (right now), is a very simplistic and cleaner version of HLSW. It doesnt contain any of the crap with friends and server searching etc... However, it does lack some key things that HLSW did have. Primarily, the ban and map tabs. RCon passwords are not stored in plain text (albeit not difficult to decrypt). Icons for each game are attached to each games appID and can be changed inside the app_list_map.ini

Now for some pictures.

Im probably missing things that I cant remember right now.

The code is on the slightly ugly side as this was my first real UI and first time really using Qt.
The name is kinda... sucky too... oh well.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Will try it out, thanks! :)

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Great :) Do you have plans to add 'Chat' feature and right-click on player to perform common actions?

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

The chat should show up in the log tab, although a bit cluttered. Ill probably add a chat tab and push all chat messages to that tab as well. As for the right click on players, I assume kick and ban are the options? I havent used HLSW in a very long time so cant remember what it had.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Cool

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

The log thinghy seems to not work for me :(

What i see from the tool :

Server logging data to file logfiles/L095_141_035_112_27016_201610231111_000.log
L 10/23/2016 - 11:11:36: Log file started (file "logfiles/L095_141_035_112_27016_201610231111_000.log") (game "/home/steam/jb1/csgo") (version "6548")
L 10/23/2016 - 11:11:36: rcon from "2.235.153.10:52973": command "log on"
Usage: logaddress_add ip:port
L 10/23/2016 - 11:11:36: rcon from "2.235.153.10:52973": command "logaddress_add :52273"



EDIT: Im not using the tool on the same machine of the server

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

I assume when the info message shows up at the start it says listening on :52273 as well?
I need to add another way to get the external IP. You can manually add the logaddress_add on the port and it should work.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Updated. Full changelog on first post. Mostly added another way to get the external ip used for logging and added the chat tab.

Im open to suggestions on how to display chat. I currently went with something that I thought looked ok.
Im also opened to thoughts on the amount of scrollback being saved. Currently 100 lines of rcon, log and chat will be saved for each server currently logging. The active selected one will still keep everything in the box until another server is selected.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

nice work :up:

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

you are a God among men. Will definitely use this along side hlsw until it's a 100% stable :)

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Is it not suppose to work on a 64-bit Windows 7?

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

You need to read the initial post, specifically

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

yeah my bad, I must've missed it :)

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Hello

can you add Country flags please?

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Probably not going to happen, atleast not right now.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

I realised one thing about HLSW that really helps is that maps and number of users in the server has red/green colour instead of black which makes them easier to be seen. Will that be something that's easy to add? If it isn't then don't bother because it's not that big a deal.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

I recommend called HLSW2

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Yes, this is exactly what I meant :) Keep up the good work!

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Updated, mostly crash fixes when deleting servers mid query and design cleanup/improvements.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

So to maintain whatever servers I saved + rcon passwords I just need to keep the settings.ini file?

Btw when are you gonna start accepting donations? No one deserves to work for free

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Yes, settings.ini contains everything.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

1) Please do not hide the password. Many servers and have different passwords.

2) Periodically error - "failed to query". The same behavior in HLSW

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

I dont understand. You know all your servers rcon passwords but not their name? Idk how not hiding the password will help... But i guess i can add an option.

What do you want me to do about your server failing to query? Thats out of my control.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Hey dude, if it's not much work, could you move or add the 'get log' button to the rcon tab?

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

add info field please

like http://image.prntscr.com/image/f1e1c...a52675bb54.png

Thank you

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

why? All that info is already there...

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

More comfortable :)

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

can you add chat with players on chat tab? and player Colors like Blue and Red?

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Done.

Done, sort of.

Partialy done, it should work for csgo, css, and tf2 server but idk what the team parameter in logs is for other games or what color it should be. But for the 3 mentioned BLU, CT will be blue and RED, T red. Im open to adding more teams/games if requested (or perhaps moving the color and list to a config file). And there is now a chatbox to send messages as console.

New Image.

The info panel can be closed by sliding the slider all the way to the right.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Ok Thx :)

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Wow finally a better tool than HLSW, thank you so much.

I'd like to see pings, current and average ping.
Maybe even a toggleable sound notification with taskbar hint if a server is unreachable :)

Maybe logging the unreachable server start/end date and printing some info box like "Server was unreachable from 12:17pm to 12:48pm"

Automatically sent the rcon pw to the servern when the map changed, it prompts me "Please authenticate first."

Map changing sortable in a dropdown menu by "All maps" (console: maps *) or "Mapcycle" (maybe reading mapcycle via plugin).

Adding clan tags to player info.
"PLAYERNAME<7><STEAM_1:1:1234><Unassigned >" triggered "clantag" (value "Random Clan Tag Here")

Adding Team, SteamID and Client IP to the player info would be nice too.

Btw, frags is in csgo the score a player has and not actual kills.

I'd like to see a lot new stuff, great work so far!

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

thanks!

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Getting a lot of flags from Firewall programs like Comodo about changing protected registry keys. Is this normal?

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Which ones are being changed? The program itself doesnt touch any registry key, I am not sure if Qt does or if creating the firewall exception via UPnP does.

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Hi

For me the chat does not work then I am connected Rcon even if the software is already great

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

did you hit get log?

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Not the logs also

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

The port is probably being blocked. In the rcon output you should see something like logadress_add yourip:port after hitting get log

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

The problem is that his chat doesn't log to file, prolly because he "return Plugin_Handled" on "say" command.
He would need to add LogMessage in the correct syntax of the normal chat log..

Re: HLSW Alternative (Source Admin Tool)
 

Please make automatic entry Rсon password.

When you enter the first command in the console.
