    Hi all,

    I've been playing Empyrion of and on for several years now and recently decided to start my own server. I run Linux as my gaming OS, so couldn't use EAH (I couldn't get it to run). I decided to work on a Linux admin tool for dedicated servers. It was meant as a personal project, but I figured, why not share. It's a Python based app. Currently it can show a list of players who connected to your server. You can kick/ban/unban, it shows all discovered entities, can send a welcome message or scheduled messages. I am working on things like changing stacksizes and ...whatever else comes to mind. Here is the link: https://github.com/chaosz5050/empyrion-web-helper.git
    It has a backend you can run on an Raspberry Pi or other Linux device. After that you can access it through your browser. It's not made to be hosted online. It's for local use only. but still it's kinda nice to pull out your phone and check your server from your couch :)

    Then there is the virtual backpack mod. I couldn't find one that didn't require EAH or some other external server to connect, so again made one that runs standalone on your server. It's very very basic. Just 2 virtual backpacks (/vb1 /vb2). the files are stored inside 'playerdata' inside the mod directory. That way you can back them up or maybe even take them with you after a wipe (haven't tested that yet). It's written in C#: https://github.com/chaosz5050/VirtualBackpackMod.git
    You can use the pre-compiled dll or compile one yourself.

    Constructive/positive feedback is always welcome :) the other kind not.

    Thanks for the alternative, but I will keep working on my app. Mainly because it's fun :) It's improving rapidly, adding more features as I go. I also started working on a scenario editor/creator. Though I am not sure I can pull that off. It is really complex.
