[Atomm Nihilo - Gamers Radio]

Bravo!

Great idea. What kind of interface do you plan on using? Is it going to
be web based or stand alone? What languages are involved besides python?

Thanks,

> With all the admin scripts being done, some little, some big,

> not the boring leg work such as configuration management
> multi server support etc.
> 
> >From this ModManager was born. Its a basic framework
> which has the following core features:
> 1. Allows dynamic loading and unloading of modules.
> 2. Centrally manages all config information.
> 3. Is multi server, single install friendly.
> 4. Provides a logging framework.
> 5. Logging is extendable, default is file based.
> 6. Provides an extendable rcon system.
> 7. Provides developer debug support.
> 
> We're looking to release the first version in the next week.
> 
> So far we have the following base modules:
> 1. Extensible Rcon
> 2. File Logging
> 3. Auto Balance ( based on the core module )
> 4. Team Kill Punish ( based on the core module )
> 5. Reserved Slots ( in development )
> 6. Ban Manager ( in development by the UTAN dev's )
> 
> After talking to the dev's over at BF2CC I'm also currently
> porting their server side scripts to ModManager which
> is going well.
> 
> Just before the initial release we will be release full API
> spec for those of you interested in writing modules.
