What I did was put the wrong ip address

I think never graying out the stop button is a good idea. I'll make this change as well so it will be available on the next update.

Eventually seDirector will be able to detect issues like these, but the beta is geared more toward just getting it out there.

Thank you!!

What about using the Steam API?

Code:

The Steam API is an option, but the problem is that it requires consistent checking. Right now seDirector checks for an update every 10 seconds, but what it's actually doing is waiting for the MasterRequestRestart message.

I could see the SteamAPI being used to verify that an update does exist, but having it check every minute creates a lot of traffic. I wish Steam had a webhook it would call when an update was released...

Uhm, in one hour it would create about the same traffic as 1 client would in 1 second.
The thing is, valve doesn't like it's public api to be spammed.

Right, it creates a lot of unnecessary traffic on their end.

Also remember the more spam their servers have to deal with, the long the download times will be. I think...

IMO steamtools has basically become an essential extension, I have no problem with this method

lyric

since this do not work for linux servers maybe change this:

"Easily manage your Source Engine game servers on Windows"

to

"Easily manage your Windows Based Source Engine Server" ???

seDirector seems to be forgetting my settings after closing it. Any idea why?
