WebAdmin

I was using the default urllib from Python 3.2, it should support digest authentication, apparently there's been a few issues with it but I didn't see a recent bug report that could explain why it wasn't working. Except maybe some realm issue, the server gives something like "mydomain.com".

I've set up a SF page at https://sourceforge.net/projects/mncservermon/ , guess the MNCServer class could save some time if some people want to write something using java.

currently the code for the serverlist is not ver user friendly, no commenting and pretty coding style (hate to do everything the "correct" way )
If post the code if it's finished, trying to work a out a way in which i don't need a database and background query system (script takes ages to complete when it's querying all 464 servers in the master serverlist.)
Then the wait the starts for the unauthenticated webadmin, it will make so much possible for this script im building.

if anyone has any suggestions of speeding up the query process using php please let me know, currently using fsocksopen & fread to send and retrieve data.

Why not just use the UT3 webadmin interface http://ut3webadmin.elmuerte.com/ Since this game uses UT engine it should work or you should be able to add it?

MNC uses different classes then UT3, that webadmin wouldnt work.
i'll think ill just work with multithreading the script, running multiple instances, querying 20 servers at a time on a daily basis + live update when a a visitor requests information about a particular server.

Serverlist code is coming along nicely, now fixed all the bugs with retrieving servers and added the ability to sort on region/country:

I decided to try and make a C# library for WebAdmin access, but I'm also having problems with the Digest authentication. I set the authentication type to digest, but it's still giving me error 401: unauthenticated.

I also have the problem with IE9 not authenticating, but chrome authenticates just fine.

Edit: It may have something to do with this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2192 ... e-are-fine

I managed to make my own digest method instead of using the built in .NET one which allowed me to make some progress on my library.

I put it up on codeplex (http://mncwebadminapi.codeplex.com/) incase anyone is interested. The actual library is pretty close to complete, but I would use the WPF application with caution or not at all.

Anything new regarding the webadmin api in this patch? At least the chathistory is working now (don't think it was fixed in the previous patch)

EDIT: chat history is reset when a new round starts, is it intended?

EDIT2: uploaded a new version for the java server monitor, with a working chat.

-Deleted- sorry

I'm working on a chat script, but its annoying that the ingame message says : "[ADMIN]"
is it possible to remove that ? We can put our name manually there,so then it just sends a chat string to the server
example : instead of :
"[ADMIN][Rules] : Dont eat to much bacon"
"[ADMIN][Admin] : Yes, the assasin is hot"
"[ADMIN][Info] : Server will reboot tomorrow"

it would be :
"[Rules] : Dont eat to much bacon"
"[Admin] : Yes, the assasin is hot"
"[Info] : Server will reboot tomorrow"

Thanks
Comment please

I've noticed that score and TotalPoints on the playerdetails remain at 0 during the match

will these two variables be removed or fixed? currently i have included those variables in my server statistics script i'm building. can i just leave them there ?

Thank you so much ! <3

Chat history comes out all funky for me, apparently with some characters (t, r for example) replaced by tabulation, and B, f replaced by non displayable chars, anyone else having this?

Yes, Inilo and I informed o of an issue with unescaped characters, putting JSON control characters in your name would make parsing JSON data impossible. A fix for this was added to the patch. but apparently it replaces normal characters with escaped ones.

r is replaced with /r
n is replaced with /n
b is replaced with /b

since /b /r /n are something totally different the normal characters won't show.

I've already emailed Bob about it.

Also another issue:
There is a , after every Timestamp value which caused some JSON parsers to fail.

Can you give us more information about which console commands work and how to use them through the API? I would like to possibly create a GUI app that uses all the commands that I can discover.

I haven't been able to get any console commands to work so far with the API. It seems that the format is console?cmd=/(command). The slash seems to be required. I have tried commands such as "exit", "restartmap", "restartlevel", etc and none of them have worked. Some of these commands don't seem to work in the game console either (restartmap and restartlevel even..)

It would be really useful to compile a list of ALL console commands both in the game and usable with the API. Here are the API commands I know about. You can just paste these into a browser as well:

Format: http://server:8080/(command)

Commands:

serverstatus
playerlist
playerdetails?id=(player id)
kick?id=(player id)
kickban?id=(player id)
listbans
unban?id=(player id)
chathistory?time=0
sendchat?msg=(message)

Unknown Commands:

Restart Server
Shutdown Server
Change Map
Console Commands

Hi maybe i missed this one but... how do i access multible serverinstances? Those is startet with -ServerInstance=x? I noticed that all servers are trying to bind the webadmin port to the one i set in the config... Is there a way to set different webadmin for different instances without copying the server to a whole new directory?

Edit:

nvm found a post by racquemis

Hi,

I'd like to report an issue with the json returned by the chathistory command which is not valid because of a trailing coma.

Also, regarding the character issue, could not the json be encoded with the UTF-8 charset ?
