Hey list,
When I was talking about this in the IRC channel a while ago, it seemed like there was a bit of interest, so I thought I'd bring it up here for more visibility. This weekend I released a beta for my SourceOP plugin. SourceOP is basically an admin mod type of plugin with features similar to Mani and SourceMod. However, there are two distinguishing features that everyone seems to agree are pretty sweet. The first is the ability to remotely admin your server. With a separate client program, you can connect to your server, deal with players, eavesdrop on their chat, and also hear everything they are saying over voice chat. Not only that, but with the 2D overview, you can see where everyone is in real-time allowing easy access to find and deal with trouble makers without starting the game. Here is a quick screenshot showing everything in action: http://www.sourceop.com/randomimages/remote_admin_20100608.png The second-most-awesome feature is the Lua scripting engine. It is possible to implement commands, features, and even custom entities that maps can use from a SourceOP script. Many of the commands and features are implemented in Lua, so there are plenty of examples to help get you started if you wanted to customize or write your own scripts. Every feature is disableable, so if you wanted to use only the remote admin or only the entity editing commands, that is certainly possible. This is a beta release, but it's the same plugin I've been using exclusively on my own TF2 servers for years, so it should be pretty stable. The only thing majorly lacking right now is documentation. If you'd like to help out with that, please shoot me an email and I will get you everything you need to help. If you're interested, you can find more information on the wiki here: http://www.sourceop.com/wiki/Main_Page Downloads page is here: http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Downloads <http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1> &d_op=viewdownload&cid=1 If you try it and run into any problems at all, please do not hesitate to bring them forward either by email to me or on the forums.
