    So you mean storing the Data in a Database instead... Actually not a bad idea. Might also make a lot of things easier on my side.
    In our HWS Version we have a smal Web-Back end already, but its oneway and only crawls on prepared data for now. Will give it some thought, but that would be a bigger change...

    Im not a Web-Programmer... Maybe Rex is able to do that. Also much work, but definetly a great idea.
    We will try to get the Full Version also runing on a local PC, with a little service gathering the data on the server. But also this might take some time.

    Your Welcome. Its implemented. Hope it fits better.

    Thats a very goof idea! A few of the points we already have on our list, but combined thats epic :). And it should be not that difficult. Will se what we can do, maybe we implement the first steps in the next version.


    Yeah.. True. We thought about some videos to, but Documentation also is still lacking a lot... Hard struggle between a new feature or improving the Docu :). But also that is quite important.


    P2W (Pay To Win) is actually a problem on some server. Some even making big money with it. Devs dont want it, but there is no clear Law out yet. But we dont want to contribute to it. Sadly some of those using our tool were also abusing it. Selling stacks of Resources for a high price. Since Devs in general dont want to see that we decided to take it out... Very sad about it, since its quite a nice feature.

    Yeah... so much more we could do. :) And we will! .. if we would just have the time :).
    But we will try our best. Really happy to hear that it helps you guys! Glad about that. And keep suggestions flowing.. As with the Devs... of the Game... we cant do all, but we try to figure out a way to do as much as possible.

    Well your not the first to ask... actually :) We thought about it. I dont have the Game myself, but I heard it keeps data in a similar way. So Yes it should be possible.

    But of course our focus will be still on Empyrion for now. We still have to work in real life :)

    If the Time allows and if we can take a look on how the Server handles the Game and Data, we could probably at least start to build the basics and extend it from time to time.

    OK for it. Perhaps only one tool but with folders. One for Empyrion, one for 7days....
    Anyways, thank you for your answer.

    If you guys store the data in a MySql Database a web back end becomes that much easier to write. Also everything your website does can easily share data at that point. Its all about database structure and communication. There are frameworks that can easily be worked with to make that data really useful and cut down the time it takes to develop considerably. On top of that remote administration would be easier to implement and add some security to.

    Thank you for fixing the scaling issue lol. It does actually fit quite nicely.

    Event handlers are really nice because they simplify things and make coordinating events a breeze. You just program a handler, pick some options and away it goes :) Ours had a really nice menu in it, but it was written in java lol. All we had to do was pick an event type (like deathmatch) Pick a building, select a set of rules, set our times, and schedule it to run. For example:

    Game type - Select from DM, CTF, Team DM, DR
    Time Variables: Signups Start time, Event start time after that, Event run time, Warp staggering variable (warp player in every X Milli seconds)
    Building - Select named building from the database (Buildings have known spawn points for weapons and such)
    Rules: DM - First to X Kills wins, Must be X amount of players signed up to hold event, Should we empty the player inventories (yes, no Would be given back after match), Select weapons spawn on map (Weapons checkboxes, ammo spawns appropriately), Prize selection for player that hits goal and ends match.

    P2W I get it... That really does kill a server in my opinion for lots of people. I see your point.

    Documentation definitely lacks a lot in Empyrion Especially when it comes to configuring planets and other yaml files. Hell the sector file doesnt really have any information on it at all... And thats where customization starts lol. We managed to put two planets and some asteroids on the same space and nowhere does it tell you how to space all of that out. We had to experiment to do that. These tools would absolutely help and the Eleon Studio devs should have already dealt with all of this. I see a way to add value to your tool right there...

    Hello,
    I got a problem with avira anti-virus.
    It detect a trojan named TR/Confuser.lkci at starting.

    Can you explain what your program do ? Is it a false detect ?

    Thank you.

    Hey,

    its a "false" detect. Well half at least. Malware and Viruses often try to hide their signature and code too fool or hide from Anti Virus programs. Therefore Confusers are used, who just make it harder to reengineer software.

    Sadly as small developers such Confuser Programs are necessary to protect your code. Therefore under certain circumstances the Anti Virus Programs detect them as warnings, depending on the functions and degree you use to protect your software.

    For example see this post: https://github.com/yck1509/ConfuserEx/issues/153 the last post. Confuser is one of those protection programs for developers.

    You can also read the definition of the Virus by your AntiVirus software. As you see they are only flaged for hiding the code. There is nothing harmful, its just to protect code from being changed or reengineered.

    Hope that helsp and explains it a bit.

    Patch Notes - 16.07.2016 - v1.17.0:

    you know that a big patch coming out when a 7 is in the version number ;)

    What are some of the highlights?

    - Latest Warnings: Well that should have been implemented last time, but somehow was not active :). Now it works, showing for example if player or structures are in pole or when player cant login.
    - Offline Jobs: A preparation for much more to come. But you can also now already use it to send messages to player when they get online. Its used mainly by the emergency warp and the pole control.
    - Emergency warp. What? Well, sometimes it happens that people cant login anymore... Playfield crashed. People try that a few times, then write in the forum or give up. Sad. Therefore if a player cant login due to a playfield crash he will be warped after the 3rd attempt in 20 minutes to his start-planet, or the next pve planet. From there he can be at least in Game and in future get more options.
    - Structure limit. Playfields to full? To many lags? Well you can set now how many Structures, Bases and even how large they are allowed to be. Just Activate the function in the timetable to run every 15 minutes. For now it warns Players/Factions when they are online, but we are already testing the punishment.
    - Load structures from backup is working much nicer now
    - Impersonate does not block the tool anymore
    - You can now activate/deactivate functions in the config.
    - and much more :)

    Patch Notes Emp Admin Helper Lite - 16.07.2016 - v1.17.0:

    The full version of this program costs more than the cost to host a server. The light version requires you to contact them every so often to get a new version of it, wich ive attempted 3 times, and have had no luck getting any response.

    The HWS EU server costs 250 dollar per month so... ?

    Eh what? You are typing in this thread... under a post of me which telling you a new version is out?! You can go to the steam forum to see if a new version is out or just bookmark the source download page: http://eah.empyrion-homeworld.net/download
    And you didn't contact us for getting a Lite version. Only for a full version.

    Anyways that is not the topic of this thread. Letting you guys know that the Lite version will be pushed in the next update. Stay tuned :)

    Im refuring to the copy I had, stopped working and told me to contact you guys to get an upgrade. Afterwards I tried redownloading and it did the same thing, not sure man, I sent multiple emails. And 250 a month is outrageous XD.. I dont even pay a quarter of that for mine but still provide excellent service... lemme know if you need a hookup =P

    $250 per month is outrageous. It's your code, do with it what you will, but I'd be shocked if you've found anyone gullible enough to pony up that. That's really gouging the community.

    I... think he meant he pays 250/mo for the server that he hosts...not 250 for the emp admin tool full version.

    This is why I just run my own server! But we are not all 'graced' with a fast reliable internet connection. =\
