For developers: if you're looking for a .NET KV API, there is one available from the same repository as the application.

This program requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.

The binaries ---> Attachment 55380

You can download the source code (if you don't know what source code means, you are trying to download the wrong thing) from GitHub.

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

Re: [RELEASE] Admin Config GUI & C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Nice idea!

Re: [RELEASE] Admin Config GUI & C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Thanks ;)

Re: [RELEASE] Admin Config GUI & C# / .NET KV Parser
 

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

Re: [RELEASE] Admin Config GUI & C# / .NET KV Parser
 

The next version will support editing group files.

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

Re: [RELEASE] Admin Config GUI & C# / .NET KV Parser
 

*** Bump

Version 2.5 Released!

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

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?

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

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!

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

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

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Whatever machine you're running the program on to generate the admin files.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

You got it ;)

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Sweet. I have no issues editing the admin_groups.cfg or the admin.cfg but I do enjoy playing with and testing plugins. Oh and thanks for the fast responses.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Thanks recon0 for the fast response, flags are being added in cfg. This is excellent for us newbie sm users. Btw, no need for the thx, we should thank you for creating this.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Without you guys, there would be no reason to write the program, so thank you ;)

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Very lucky to get this stickied, the last time a post was stickied was a long long time ago in a far far away land.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Great idea, great GUI! I know that its easy enough to do these manually, but I usually tend to move to fast and forget something small and FAIL...:oops:...lol. Thanks!

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

does this run on vista?

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Yes it does.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

W00T i dont have a problem with editing the .cfg files but hell looks cool so ill give it a wack!

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

I wouldn't recommend wacking it, it has a built-in wack-back function.

The last guy that got hit with it... Well... The guy who fought the L4D tank by himself came out better...

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

i downloaded it adn it dont work for me. it keeps crashing

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Did you install the .NET Framework 3.5?

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

any plans on adding into the admin section a are to enter the admins name?

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Just double click the row and it will go into edit mode.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

WOW this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for to finally make the switch from MANI to SM Thank you!!

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

You're welcome.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

is there a way to set this up on a website like this?

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

This is a Windows application, not a web application. If you want a web server manager, try SourceBans.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Recon... Very nice bit of kit and one thats going to save me a lot of aggravation. Many thanks for a job well done.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

Thanks ;)

Oh BTW everyone, I might start working on 3.0 if I have time. SQL admin support + FTP editing :)

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

As I am also NOW comfortable with editing the cfg files, but man a while back this would of been a must have program for me. So, thanks for your time and effort. :)

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

You're welcome :)

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

That's just because it doesn't have a certificate, don't worry about it.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

You were trying to download the source, not the binaries.

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser

Re: [RELEASE] Admin & Group Config GUI | C# / .NET KV Parser
 

That's a bug. I've fixed it along with a few other things. A new release will be out tomorrow.
