Server Discussion CytoWrapper - Beta Public Release

Hi All,

We at CytoDev, will be releasing our private wrapper for public testing shortly, this is a private project hosted inhouse.

The Wrapper is written in C#, and we are currently ironing out user friendly setup, as default configurations settings have not been implemented. User friendly setup mostly done...

Documentation will be made available shortly after we finish it.

Live Testing Server
Server: cytodev.com
Version: v0.5.8 beta

Current Features are:

• Power Base Permission System, similar to TeamSpeak's permission model
• Login and Registration System, due to issues with only using UUID to login, we have moved to a password based model
• Private/Public Ship functions
• Enable/Disable the ability to have symbols in names
• Enable/Disable the ability to have spaces in names
• Enable/Disable the registration system
• General Administrative commands ban/kick/mute
• General In-Game spawning of items and generated items, with the ability to verify item spawn.
• General Navigation commands home/warpship/planet/warp
• General User Administration motd/rules etc...
• General Connection Configurations Socket Time Outs etc..
• General Group System, with Color, Prefix, Permissions, Immunities attributes
• Ability to protect spawn planet from any projectile spawns
• Ability to protect spawn planet from any tile damage
• Ability to protect spawn planet from player spawned NPCs
• Ability to set players to invunerable on spawn planet
• Plugin API, allowing you to manipulate the server to your liking
• Console that accepts commands
• Color Coded Console Events, for easier visual filtering.
• Auto Restarter upon starbound_server.exe crash

Upcoming Features

• Ability to Claim planets as a designated players
• Ability to Automatically backup world files and load them when necessary
• SQL Backend instead of using json (sqlite/mysql)
• Disable Invisible Players

This has only been tested on Windows, and has not been tested on Linux.
Release will be approx Sunday this week, as we finish off some final private testing. Released
During testing we are looking for player feedback and server owner feedback on features that are required in the core wrapper, this does not include ideas that should be created as plugins, and crash reports.

I'll mention this now before we release, this is a private in house coded project, meaning the server files will be up for use publicly, but the source code will remain private. This then brings the question of trusting a closed source application, honestly this is completely up to you if you want to use it or not, my main community is at www.cytodev.com, you'll notice almost all my projects are closed sourced - this is just for privacy reasons.

Finally ! A wrapper windows friendly, hope this one will not die like the others one !
Long live Cytowrapper !

Cheers.

 

Excellent!Lookin forward to it

 

Oh release on the day I return to school

 

I look forward to this!

 

WoW!! waiting long time.. my little server is stay wait..

 

Wrapper something taken with STARRYBOUND

 

How do you know it's a copy of Starrybound :s?

 

Because went on a test server and immediately thought that this starrybound

 

That's pretty idiotic.

 

You can think whatever you want, but keep it to yourself, cause we don't spend days on a project just to get some idiot on the internet to slander it.

I will say one thing thou, this project was written from the ground up, we did use the decoded packets that were available already, and decoded the rest ourselves (where possible). Cause redoing something that has already been done is kinda moot.

Thou as I said, this is a public test, and if you don't trust it don't use it simple as that.

 

i have nothing to do with Djet, but maybe it was not a critic, Starrybound was pretty good project that just get fucked by a dark past...

i would be glad to have something as good or better than Starrybound...

 

Awesome! I can't wait!

 

Release

0.5.2 Beta - First Initial Public Release

(Warp has not been implemented yet)

Documentation is coming...

Simple installation - Copy all files into win32 folder

Make sure that the starbound config has its port changed to something but the default (ie/ 21024)

Run cytowrapper.serverconsole.exe

config folder is located on the root directory of starbound called "cytowrapper"

 

You missed out log4net.dll in your release.

 

Yes,I've got this error ,too.

 

Thank you for this! couple fast questions

- What is force registration?

- When you plan to implement planet protection?

 

Must be like Tshock,players must log in to move.

 

the main question is how to run linux?

 

But it is very similar to Starrybound
