Great tool, works good :thumb:

[PLAYLIFE]

Hello guys !
My software is ready for a puplic test. Read the readme.txt file !!!
Please give me some feedbacks how do you like it or if something went wrong.
Any ideas of new implementations are also welcome ;)


Here comes the server and client package:

What does it do?

[Dygear]

sweet!

[shim]

What does it do?

lets you control your server remotly, so if you aint home and need to change a setting or one of ya team members want to change something on the server, they can do so without having to be in game..

[Tanuva]

yeeha god heard my prayer :D

But why didn't you post that in the development-thread? Wouldn't have noticed that you made a release if my friend did not look into the forums. ^^

EDIT: anyone got it to work through a router? My friend is running a server at home and I cant get the client to connect on his server through the router....

[VecTreX]

Awesome tool JogDive, really well made :thumb:

Compact and fairly straight forward, I like it :cool:

I've posted a little news about it on LFS News (http://www.lfsnews.net) also :)

[Pasci]

Really awesome tool! Congratulation :thumb: works fine!

Question to JogDive
Did you give me permission to publish your tool (client & server) on the next unofficial LFS ISO? :)
> http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=4690 (first release)

Looking forward for your tool

[BSKfr SteF]

Nice work :thumb:

I've just one question : is it possible to get this soft in others languages than english ?
Here, in france, we've some server admin that don't speak english enought well to understand all details or the client part.
If you could release a future version that could use a french.lng or a english.lng or a german.lng and so on, I thing you'll get lots of free translators for that app ;)

[JogDive]

Hello guys. I´m very happy about your feedbacks. I will stay in Hamburg till Friday.

Please wait for the next releases to put it on the cd. what do you mean with "unoffical" ?? please send me some details. I´will work on a multilanguage support at home soon.

Ok, stay tuned ;)

[Pasci]

Please wait for the next releases to put it on the cd. what do you mean with "unoffical" ?? please send me some details. I´will work on a multilanguage support at home soon.

I will wait :)

"unofficial" = not supported from the devs (if anyone have troubles with the ISO should ask/write his/her question only via lfsforum.net; not to the devs of LFS). But I've got permission from the devs to publish the unmodified LFS/tool versions on the ISO.

[JogDive]

Ok, Pasci. The software is ready to put it on cd. I finished Version 1.01 today.
A friend of me who made a classA workaround for this app wrote a small download page. Please read the the updated first post of this thread for more information

[Bladerunner]

...anyone got it to work through a router? My friend is running a server at home and I cant get the client to connect on his server through the router....


Also having MAJOR problems getting it running through a router...
My LFS Dedicated sever is in a different room from my main game box, and whenever I want to access it. I have to either log into LFS and use the command line functions or go into the other room and access the command line functions!
This tool would have been the answer to my prayers...IF it worked! :(

Before you ask, I HAVE set up the firewall and the port-forwarding on the router for the relevant ports/addresses, but STILL not got it to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..(and not just by me, I would imagine!)

[JogDive]

Me is using the server/client through a firewall during the whole development phase. nearly everybody of my beta testers used a router. Who is not using a router in the wild ?? Please don´t blame network problems on my programm.

If you want a troubleshooting, why don´t u post the type of router, the software running on it and some paramaters from your net...net configof hosts/router...dedilink error messages..and so on ??

Please give me response to my questions and i will have a look. Did you followed all steps in the server readme ?

[Dygear]

Did you followed all steps in the server readme ?

Yea know, I really don't like that server read me, and the second I learn how to install this program for myself I will make a [NOOB GUIDE] (I'm world famous for that, just look at the AMX forums) for your program.

[JogDive]

Thank you Dygear !

[JogDive]

Thanks for your great work!

But I have also little problems: :-)
If I use the "Refresh config" button on the tab page "Basic" I've got "Error getting server status". If I push the button on the tab "Advanced", refresh works fine?!
-> I should read the complete readme! Sorry! Everything okay - possible you can modify error message in somethin like "please connect the server also via insim to dedi host!" :D

A little GUI bug (possible a problem with the WinXP Design):
The message box is a little bit to small when the client is uploading the new configuration. (-> screenshot)

Really great work! :thumb:

[W1ldPort75]

First of all i just wanted to say that the prog looks real nice and easy to use so nice work :thumb: . Second , when i connect i get a Error connecting with ssl ??? Can someone help me please ??? :(

[JogDive]

@ Pasci: ok i will fix the gui probs. Thx !
The client reports a message "No insim access" if DediLink server is not connected to Insim or lost access. The carstring function is fixed. V1.4 is still in development and testing phase. Please stay tuned and look at the development thread for more details ;)

@ W1ldPort75: Please use the SSL mode you set on DediLink server.

[W1ldPort75]

Hiho Jog , thx for the quick answer :thumb: . The only thing is i have 2 rented LFS Servers from G.Portal and i think DediLink wont work unless they install the DediLink server . But i'll see what i can do . Thx again :thumb:

[JogDive]

.. and i think DediLink wont work unless they install the DediLink server

lol :D

[JogDive]

[alland44]

I really like this tool :)

One thing I can`t find out is : How do one change the server name with Dedilink ? I want to change afri cola racing, to Den blaa avis.

[JogDive]

Hey Guy!
a server name change is only possible with DediLink Server. You need to restart the dedicated LFS server process to get this change working with the DediLink config possibilities.

We got a new page at www.fragthe.net (http://www.fragthe.net) and some guys are still working on it. A Dedilink download is not possible at this time.

I´m working on DediLink V2.0 i bet you all will like it :nod:

Please stay tuned for DediLink V2.0 in one or two months

what about this one? http://www.fragthe.net/viewtopic.php?t=250

[bapaf]

Hi JogDive, works DediLink server with LFSLapper together??? when i logged in from a client to my server LFS Lapper doesnt work no more.

[JogDive]

what about this one? http://www.fragthe.net/viewtopic.php?t=250

Hey great!is this attachment available for you (public)? if yes,the admins fixed the links
JDZ is my username in the Fragthe.net community if somebody wants to contact me

@Bapaf: Yes, i think only one insim port can be used for a single app

[JogDive]

Hey guys!
LFS DediLink 2.0 is ready for beta testing now :nod: Who wants to test the release build 2.0?

[Changes:]
-Fixed many small bugs.
-When a game password is set on DediLink server startup config, the "old" password which has been created via insim sync (DediLinkS.bak), will not be set on insim login.
-Added a bans screen on DediLink Client to unban players.
-Removed SSL selection on Server/Client. It was a bit confusing for many users. DediLink works with SSL V2 now.
-Renamed GUI descriptions to make it more clearly.

[Still in testing phase and not beta ready (DediLink Server):]
"Virtual" insim port to make it possible to use X insim apps at the same time.


If you have some new suggestions for DediLink, please let me know:)

I would like to be at beta tester :)

[Bladerunner]

Sign me up to please JD..having probs with 1.4, which 'might' be InSim conflicts with RaceManager and LFS Lapper...would love to see if I can get it sorted with 2.0 :D

[JogDive]

Hi!
I hope you can test everything on V2.0 :)

It´s not possible to connect more than 1 app on insim. This is your problem right now and still the problem with DediLink V2. I´m working on a virtual Insim port but it´s not finished and available yet. Monky made a nice Java app to connect more than 1 app to insim:

[JogDive]

V2 Beta is available here: http://www.fragthe.net/viewtopic.php?t=250

[Pasci]

V2 Beta is available here: http://www.fragthe.net/viewtopic.php?t=250

Thanks!

Hope I can test you're new version asap - also a X compatible version planed?

I have connected 2 insim mods onto 1 server before now, there was no problems, I used the lapper mod alongsidethe drag mod, i disabled the drag itself and used its rules window as rules for lapper mod, both mods ran in same port.

But hey im looking for this LFS DediLink 2.0 that you guys are talking about, maybe im too late, as far as i can tell it never existed, all the links end up in the same place on all sites and no dload links. were do i get this stuff?.

[Erazotropa]

Sorry, but where to download on that website?! :shrug:

My German is not so good either...

If you need space to host the files.. please let me know i have a 24/7/365 server running..

[Mojo1987]

The Project is stopped since January 2008... there is no download at all.

[corewar]

Where i can get this aplication???

[the_angry_angel]

This program is no longer publically available for LFS, and if it was to be found anywhere, I suspect it would no longer work with the more recent versions of LFS due to changes to LFS.

JogDive, if you work on it again and want to reopen this thread please contact one of the moderators.
