arkascendedservermanager's Issues

Add pull request workflow and nightly release workflow

Cant type in the password box

Am I doing something wrong?
I cannot enter anything into the server password box, or spectator. Only the admin password box is allowing text input.

[BUG] Ini deleting values

Describe the bug
Ini deletes values like:
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemAmmo_AdvancedBullet_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemAmmo_AdvancedRifleBullet_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemAmmo_AdvancedSniperBullet_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=250,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

Expected behavior
dont delete

Add a discord addon/interface in the app

Add a webhook integration for each server, for now only the backend should be made, since we don't have a server instance yet.

add support for multiple languages

Language switcher for all text on the frontend

We will first create a setup, after this others can add a language

in the meantime, you can leave a suggestion in the comments!

Planned languages:

• - English
• - Dutch
• - Chinese (tbd)
• - Danish (tbd)
• - Spanish (tbd)
• - French (tbd)
• - German (tbd)
• - More if suggested

Refactor frontend side functions to only return 1 thing Plus error

Update Nsis and update icons

Seperate the ark server process from the manager

When the servers are sub processes of the manager they will stop if the manager ever crashes or gets closed. We want the manager to run seperately so you can restart or update it without having to worry about the servers themselves.

For this to work the start/stop logic needs to be re-implented because it assumes the servers are sub-processes.

Add mod/plugin api auth system

This needs to be done before implementation of mod/plugin system

Server Install does not work on Windows Server 2016

Currently, you can't install a server on Windows Server 2016, as the application uses ConPty (Windows Pseudo Console) which is not available on Windows Server 2016.

Looking forward to seeing your progress on this app!

revamp README

add button to open actual server files

The open servers button that is present now opens a folder with configs for servers in Local

Fix servername and maxplayers

Auto Remove Mod

My server would not start today and always crashed.
After researching I found out the mod page is available but no files existed.
I had to remove the mod therefore.

My suggestion:
A check if the mod page and files exist.
If not, then the mod should be removed so that the server can start.
Maybe also as an optional feature to enable.
The removal of stacking or storage mods are always very dangerous.

[FEATURE/BUG] Button to remove config.json when no server installed

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When you click on add new server it creates a profile and a config.json file. But if you dont want a server you cant delete the profile till you install the server and click on the delete button.

Describe the solution you'd like
A delete profile button of some sort.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Deleting the profile folder

Add steamcmdpath config variable to set steamcmd path

Add a field to modify backup times

Add a field to modify backup times
In case of regular crashes etc.

I don't know if it's 15minutes by default

Auto restart

Refactor arguments

[FEATURE] Admin whitelist

You can make an GameUserSettings.ini entry to write the OSS ID's of each admin in there. (One line one ID)

The OSS ID of a player can be found out in this way:
This is in the log when joining and there are also two commands for the UE Console:

• whoami
• listplayers

[ServerSettings]
AdminListURL="https://example.com/admins.txt"

ListPlayers also works via RCON

Add info modal

Server Controller Overview

A page/menu where we can see all servers listed and manage them in a selection. You probs know what I'm referring to as a user of ASM.

Context/Usage:
This menu should allow admins to select the servers and then perform the action on all selected servers. the way you have setup the server list you could make a feature that adds checkboxes to the servers, once any server is selected the option to stop/start/restart/update etc will be shown in the home page nav or somewhere.

This way you don't need to create another menu for this and integrate it into the home page.

Add release workflow that adds windows executable to release assets

Ask to be assigned and I'll assign you.

Wrong screenshots in readme

I put in the wrong screenshots so I will try again

[FEATURE] Sensible things

I'm back from vacation and now it's time to rock ASASM 😎

The following parameters are useless:
?bRawSockets
?listen
-game
-log
-server
-nosteamclient

I would provide these things via the INI and not via the start command:

?SessionName
?MultiHome
?QueryPort
?RCONEnabled
?RCONServerGameLogBuffer
?RCONPort
?MaxPlayers
?ServerAdminPassword

These only make sense in the start command if they cannot be manipulated by the users. Since we do not operate commercial servers, it would be tidier to obtain these parameters from the INI file.

The ARK Wiki is very detailed and updates this page regularly.

Bug: Start button is clickable when server is on and givs an error when pushed. Just as Stop button

Add auto update system to self update

Blocked by #11 because this need the releases to work and be able to get an executable from them.

It should self update and not ship an extra binary that does this.

https://github.com/minio/selfupdate
https://github.com/Vovan-VE/supaplex-levels-editor/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml

Dash args not working

API Interface to interact with the manager

Maybe add a lua scripting part or just make a web api

Add 0.0.0.0 default interface back
