Maybe you should help the guys here https://github.com/SEModCommunity/SE-Community-Mod-API if you aren't already. They could use some help with the server extender.

 

Yes, i've seen this project and it look awesome. Nevertheless, i have still a lot to do on SESM (especially documentation ).

Although I'm a bit supprise and nearly disapointed by the lack of responses/comments on my thread, I would like to "finish" all my planned feature before starting to help on another project :comp:.

 

Kind of meant when you finish this but either way this looks awesome. I really do wonder when the full modding capabilities will come into SE.

 

me too, me too :crazy:

 

Updating to V1.4

- Added the kill option
- Upgraded the users manager

 

hey scipio,

This took looks pretty sweet. I've installed everything and have it running, however when I try to enter multiple banned steam user ids I get this:

Code:

[FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.]   System.Number.ParseUInt64(String value, NumberStyles options, NumberFormatInfo numfmt) +734   SESM.Tools.ServerConfigHelper.ParseIn(ServerViewModel model) +670   SESM.Controllers.ServerController.DetailsSave(Nullable`1 id, ServerViewModel model) +3087   lambda_method(Closure , ControllerBase , Object[] ) +170   System.Web.Mvc.ReflectedActionDescriptor.Execute(ControllerContext controllerContext, IDictionary`2 parameters) +242   System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker.InvokeActionMethod(ControllerContext controllerContext, ActionDescriptor actionDescriptor, IDictionary`2 parameters) +39   System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncControllerActionInvoker.<BeginInvokeSynchronousActionMethod>b__39(IAsyncResult asyncResult, ActionInvocation innerInvokeState) +12   System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncResult`2.CallEndDelegate(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +139   System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncInvocationWithFilters.<InvokeActionMethodFilterAsynchronouslyRecursive>b__3f() +112   System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass48.<InvokeActionMethodFilterAsynchronouslyRecursive>b__41() +452   System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass48.<InvokeActionMethodFilterAsynchronouslyRecursive>b__41() +452   System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass48.<InvokeActionMethodFilterAsynchronouslyRecursive>b__41() +452   System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass48.<InvokeActionMethodFilterAsynchronouslyRecursive>b__41() +452   System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass33.<BeginInvokeActionMethodWithFilters>b__32(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +15   System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass2b.<BeginInvokeAction>b__1c() +37   System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass21.<BeginInvokeAction>b__1e(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +241   System.Web.Mvc.Controller.<BeginExecuteCore>b__1d(IAsyncResult asyncResult, ExecuteCoreState innerState) +29   System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncVoid`1.CallEndDelegate(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +111   System.Web.Mvc.Controller.EndExecuteCore(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +53   System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncVoid`1.CallEndDelegate(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +19   System.Web.Mvc.MvcHandler.<BeginProcessRequest>b__5(IAsyncResult asyncResult, ProcessRequestState innerState) +51   System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncVoid`1.CallEndDelegate(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +111   System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +606   System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +288


how should multiple ids be entered?

 

Yeah, sorry, i forgot to mention it (I really should add tooltip to those field)

You must use semi-colon ( ; ) to separate ids in those fileds

ex : 1133123123;4234234234234;234234234234

Sorry for the trouble, i will add security check to better "inform" the user

 

Sorry for the wait guys, my broadband connexion has gone haywire ...

Update to V1.5
- Adapted the configuration manager for 01.038
- Global spellcheck, Big Thanks to nate1380 !
- Standardisation of all the pages, now they look a little better ^^
- Added on click validation for all forms, sould help users and reduce server load
- A lot of code refactoring, will help the future developpement

 

Wow nice !

This is perfect ! and f*cking awesome !

lot of people sould use that

Or is this so difficulte to install ? You sould add some screenshoot on how installation software maybe.

Here some ideas too:

- Add a plugins control (Add/delete plugins/mod on server)
- Add server Status (Max Player on each side of server list and current live player)
- Possible to add kick/ban player with the "Connected player list"?

hm what else ?

More ideas will coming soon !

ps: i'm french too


EDIT: got a question: i can't START a server, my dedicated patch are here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\" is this cause any problem ?
I don't get any error but the server just wont launch.

 

Thanks, i try to do my best on this project !

Thanks for the ideas, i will look into it, but for the third one, the kick ban, it's currently impossible while using the vanilla server, it may be possible when (and it's comming ) it will use server extender

 

V1.6

- Changed some permission for the manager class, separating it better from the admin class
- Resolved Issue #2
- Corrected a bug in the game file upload proceadure

 

I got this tool running I can use the webpage all i want but, it won't start the server. I created one and when i hit start nothing happenes the status icon its a red x. Can you help me troubleshoot?

 

V1.6.5

- Corrected the managers' permission

 

yeah, if you can wait 'till the evenig, i'm currently making a diagnosis tool to help figure out this kind of problems, so stay tunned !

 

Hi,

the Checkbox "Enable copy &paste" ist always activ after save config.

 

Scipio you sir are a legend :thumb:

 

Anyone kind enough to set this up for me over teamviewer please ? ,i have the SQL express installed etc just my noobness cant get my head around the instructions,for example

wheres the pool ? lol ,And the deploy download has a rar file inside when downloaded and unrar'd what do i do with that ? do i just drop it all in the site folder or unrar that into it as well ? seems like a great application but it seriously needs a noob friendly guide

 

Ok look forward to your update.

One thing for C:\SpaceEngineers\ folder do i have the entire game in there like bin bin64 and dedicated server or is it just the server files.

like
Move c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\

To c:\SpaceEngineers\DedicatedServer64\ -server files in subfolder

or
c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\DedicatedServer64\
To
c:\SpaceEngineers\ = c:\DedicatedServer64\ -server files in main folder

 

The applicationpool is in the IIS manager. the deploy will be unzipped anywhere it just adds the files need for the webpages to SESM once everything else is done you run the cmd file with /Y in a command prompt

 

i use IIS7.5 for my sites currently ,the application pool doesn't need to be done for 7.5 as it is automatic ?

*edit

ok seems its trying to use 2.0 instead of 4.0 any idea how i change this ?

i have read this https://forums.asp.net/t/1725208.aspx?+Net+4+0+web+app+does+n+run+on+iis+7+5 but man it spins me out

 

What os you using 7, 8?
And is it pro or higher not home

 

IIS 7.5 express ,managed to get my head round that part now i have managed to change it the 4.0 pool etc but the part where i add the line to the webconfig do i add it to very bottom of it ?

 

That line is already in there the only thing you change is MyPassword to the password you setup for sql setup in mixed mode.

On line 13

Code:

<add name="DataContext" connectionString="Server=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=SESM;User Id=sa;[B]Password=MyPassword[/B];MultipleActiveResultSets=true;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
