Server Discussion Aegis Wrapper - Server Wrapper

Hi Everyone!

Aegis Wrapper
First Server Manager for Starbound​

NOTE: I AM RELEASING SOON!!!​

*If you want to get this quick please support this: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/releasing-the-server-incoming-and-outgoing-packets.52891/


What is this?

This is the first server wrapper for Starbound. A server wrapper, for those non-tech folks, is basically a program that attaches to a program to give it more features. The goal of this wrapper is to eventually allow scripted plugins, total management, admins, etc.
​

Current Features:

• Whole new list of features that I have yet to document!

• Commands (Can be issued by server or Admins. if issued ingame, it will still say command doesn't exist)
  • stop: Shutsdown the server and wrapper
  • restart: restarts the server and wrapper
  • op <username>: Makes a player admin
• Player list (Server can only use without Chat Packets)
• IP Bans (Broken, [and I don't like using IPTables])
• Player Admins (determined by IP until I can hook onto the UUID packets)
• Custom Player data-structure for wrapper
• Config for wrapper
• Filtered out "warn:" lines
• Admins will get powers without reset
• Wrapper should no longer hang (or crash on wrapper errors)
• UDP socket for web stats (UNSTABLE)

What's Next?

• Bug Fixes
• A release

This is a big leap in servers, but will need a ton of support. If you have any suggestions please post them in this thread. Also, this would be a ton easier with the packets released so I do not have to spend hours hacking the client and server to attempt to fake data. Please support this thread for that ability: http://community.playstarbound.com/...e-server-incoming-and-outgoing-packets.52891/

HUGE YES! COMMUNITY NEEDS THIS!!

 

I completely agree with this at the moment. Until the devs get some admin tools out, this will help out a lot.

 

Sucks you are waiting for the chat feature. Perhaps you haven't really finished the rest?

 

I am waiting for the chat feature because I feel the wrapper is pointless without anything complex. Yes I have a stop and restart, but the same can be achieved by writing a cron task that closes and restarts the process. Yes you can ban, but you could do the same by writing IP tables. Hooking onto chat, on the other hand, is something that cannot be achieved without the wrapper.

 

Also progress update. I have hacked out the byte structure of the chat packet, I just need to fake a handshake to make the server fake that it is a client.

 

Huge support, this would be great!

 

+1, this sounds great. I'd love to help if possible and also get some details on the protocols you're digging into.

 

Bump this is huge for Servers right now to get this kind of support and ability

 

Want! Good luck with the project.

 

Okay so after spending some time working on this today I have an update.

New Features:

• Admins can now actually issue commands ingame!
• Created a properties file for the wrapper so you can specify the location of the starbound_server.exe and Admin.list
• Filtered out all "Warn:" lines to reduce chat spam (with an option to enable them again if you are crazy)
• new Admins now get their powers without a reset
• Cleaned restart command to no longer restart the wrapper
• Wrapper should no longer hang when the server does
• Considering releasing it before chat packets

Any comments, questions, concerns please state them.

 

No coments or concerns until you actually share it.

 

Why are you so negative? Go outside and make a friend or something.

Looking forward to this.

 

sounds good.. and very much needed right now for us server owners. Hope to see it soon!

 

He is making a tool for the community, and you are being rude about it too what gain? Agreed with shibdib, can't wait!

 

Update! AegisGaming's Starbound server is the first public server running the Wrapper! IP is : sb.aegisgaming.org
Try the /players command and see nothing! (but dont worry, it shows up in console! Pic of proof) However I think I know how I can make it show up to the issuer

 

*sits and waits anxiously, noting the forward progress. He writes down a few cliff notes, almost as if he were intent on suggesting a few ideas..*

 

ha im heavinleaf can i join your server

 

It is public..... sb.aegisgaming.org
