UT3 WebAdmin 1.17 released - 2009-09-13 (requires UT3 patch 2.1)

[elmuerte]

While you're updating your servers to UT3 Patch 2.1 you might also want to update the WebAdmin. The latest version is version 1.17 and you can download it here:
http://ut3webadmin.elmuerte.com/down...p?t=2009-09-13

Changelog
v1.17 - 2009-09-13 (requires UT3 2.1)
-------------------------------------
- fixes the issue where changes to game profile disappeared when a new map
was loaded.
- made some changes to the way the menu permissions are validated, the
urls used for AJAX requests are now dependent to their base url. This
addresses issues #74, #75

v1.16 - 2009-07-30 (requires UT3 2.1)
-------------------------------------
- added a warning when the localization file is corrupt. This causes missing
menus.
- changed the method of detecting active mutators
- added functionality to configure server actors

v1.15 - 2009-05-17 (requires UT3 2.1)
-------------------------------------
- fixed a few typos
- added a setting to validate the IP in sessions. This increases security by
making sessions less prone to hijacking.
- added a basic translit system which allows conversion for certain information.
this can be used to convert Cyrillic characters to their ASCII equivalent.
This translit system is also used by the chatlog. See the file
Localization/RUS/WebAdmin.rus how you should build your translit table.
The translit system is needed because the webadmin can only produce ASCII (or
UTF-8) output. Internally UE3 uses UTF-16, which can not be used by the
webadmin.
Note: The translit system is not used for input processing.
Note: Because the tanslit table is stored in a localization file you need to
have the appropriate Language set in UTEngine.ini or you have to manually
copy the table to WebAdmin.int
- made all text localized, people can now localize the WebAdmin if they feel
like it. To localize the HTML files define the HTMLSubDirectory localized
variable, and create the proper files in the Web/WebAdmin/??? directory.
Note: the <!-- #include ... --> files are not transparently handled.
- Don't send gzip encoded files to Safari browsers, they lies about supporting
gzip encoded files (or at least, for javascript)
- various browser tweaks

v1.14.0 - 2009-04-05 (for UT3 2.0)
v1.14.1 - 2009-04-05 (for UT3 2.1)
----------------------------------
- added support to dynamically add skins to the webadmin. To register a skin
simply create an .ini file in the Config directory with the following content
[SomeName WebAdminSkin]
FriendlyName=My Own Skins
CssFile=/images/myskin/main.css
- added option to /current/bots to add an arbitrary number of bots
- added a system settings page to change webadmin settins
- reduced loading of gametype classes to filter the mutator lists, this reduces
loading of additional packages during the game (which clients would need to
download). You can force rebuild of the caches by visiting this (hidden) page:
http://<webadmin.ip>/ServerAdmin/system/allowancecache
http://<webadmin.ip>/ServerAdmin/system/settingscache
(note: this is something you might want to do after installing new or
upgrading gametypes/mutators)

v1.13 - 2009-03-22
------------------
Note: Patch 2.1 is required
- filter duplicate gamemode/maps/mutator registrations (check the log file for
detections).
- fixed XHTML comppliance issues for all pages
- added tooltips to the settings pages with additional information about the
settings.
- added "Max Replay Limit" setting to the map list editor

v1.12 - 2009-03-09
------------------
- fixed unsaved settings bKickMissingCDHashKeys, TimeToWaitForHashKey
- fixed "No Custom Characters" showing up as a number field
- fixed bug #0000065: Score Limit setting appears twice
- should no longer disable "achievements"

v1.11.1 - 2009-03-07
--------------------
- lowered the minimum engine version for the Linux Server 2.0 beta

- fixed an accessed none in the chat log functionality
- added the setting to disable seamless level loading:
Settings > General > Administration > Disable seamless loading

v1.10 - 2009-02-28
------------------
- added an game engine check at webadmin startup
- some minor adjustments
- added text/voice muting to /current/player page. Note: voice muting is a
force action to all clients. This means that a forced unmute removes the
client's own mute action.

v1.9 - 2009-02-20
-----------------
Note: Patch 2.0 is required
- added sessionban functionality
- added spawn protection time setting for gametypes
- new voting configuration functionality, if it doesn't show up, add the
following query handler: WebAdmin.QHVoting
- added note taking functionality to the "current" page

v1.8 - 2008-12-05
-----------------
- fixed bot roster editing when the roster was empty
- konami code
- added an alternative authentication module: WebAdmin.MultiWebAdminAuth

Hello elmuerte,

thanks for your fast release even faster then the linux server

[elmuerte]

Version 1.11 released: http://ut3webadmin.elmuerte.com/down...p?t=2009-03-07

v1.11 - 2009-03-07
------------------
- fixed creation of new maplists when javascript was enabled
- fixed spaces in map names when saving maplists under certain circumstances
- fixed an accessed none in the chat log functionality
- added the setting to disable seamless level loading:
Settings > General > Administration > Disable seamless loading


It's strongly advised to update, because previous versions 1.9-1.10 corrupt your maplists when saving them.

[Bl!tz~]

ahh if i had be abble to patch my linux server to 2.0 ......i had be abble to install a web admin but.....not on admin list--->no official mail---->no linux 2.0 patch---->no webadmin1.11

thx for your work elmuerte ...one day probably i ll use that nice tool ....i mean the same version as all other users....but for now i m punished !


for info my server is still on patch 1.2 and i have the webadmin 1.8 installed on it:

-i cant get stats working
- i cant open many thing in w admin(bots general settings and pass)

are those two versions not compatible ?........or another "no luck" just for me?

[elmuerte]

I'd suggest you join the server admin mailing list, then you'll get the heads up on the latest betas of the linux server. See the sticky in this forum for info on how to join the mailing list.

[EmDzei]

Where on web admin interface you can set the level of frienly fire scale? There is just to mark it on or off. Planning to set it to 0.20 = 80 %.

Not sure but I add this line FriendlyFireScale=0.200000 to UTGame.ini [UTGameContent.UTOnslaughtGame_Content] section. I don't know how to test what is the current % now, but it seems work how I have planned. Idea is from UT2004.ini (similar line).

[chrisgoat]

Is there anyway that when you enable (Allow Game Voting), there could be an option that would allows you to choose which game type will be aviliable for voteing.

Thanks.

I had this same problem. I got answer here from forum. I mark all vote lines on UTGame.ini to false or 0 (zero) and set my settings on UTVote.ini file. After this all votes begin work nice.

***

I have a new problem myself. I updated my UT3 WebAdmin interface to newest one, 1.13. It needs newer game than I have. It needs version 3805. Is there 3805 somewhere? Where I can download it?

Or where I can download the older version of UT3 WebAdmin (1.12) until can download engine 2.1 alias 3805?

[elmuerte]

Where on web admin interface you can set the level of frienly fire scale? There is just to mark it on or off. Planning to set it to 0.20 = 80 %.

I don't add new game functionality. I just expose configurable things via the webadmin. Unless I overlooked something, if it's not in the webadmin, then you probably can not configure it.

Is there anyway that when you enable (Allow Game Voting), there could be an option that would allows you to choose which game type will be aviliable for voteing.

I don't think that option is available. A dirty hack would be to remove the gametype registrations (i.e. the entries in the ini files that make the gametypes known to the game). It will completely disable that game type though.

UT3 version 2.1 is currently in the testing phase (which usually lasts for a while before its made public). If you want to join in testing patches for UT3 you will have to join the UT3 servers mailing list (see the sticky). You can always download older versions of the webadmin: http://ut3webadmin.elmuerte.com/#downloads
My download system currently doesn't support multiple branches for downloads. This is because the released webadmin versions are always stable (not beta). And yes, during the "beta" phase of UT3 patches you might have a desync in webadmin versions (this is usually due to new configurable functionality).



Disclaimer, or word of caution: Joining the ut3 servers mailing list and testing the beta patches comes with a responsibility, so behave (i.e. conform to the netiquette for mailing lists).

chris that is pretty much what i did, on my second server i have enabled WAR, GREED, VCTF and CTF gametypes so what i did was go in the ini file and remove the other gametypes and it works fine as far as i can tell, been like that since the patch with no troubles anyway.

Epic REALLY should make this an option in the Voting menu though so that admins can set this without hacking anything.

[TONY[-TOC-]]

Quick easy question for you folks- In the general settings under players there is a box that is labeled no custom characters with a number you can set. Am i assuming correctly that this number is how many custom characters you will allow?

this needs a black edition theme!!

[Jungle+=]

Hi El Muerte,

I could not for the life of me find detailed instructions on the webadmin's useage parameters pertaining to which types of servers it would be appropriate for. So... I tied it with a retail listen server and it seems to have chewed up my settings so badly that I cant get anyone on server anymore.
I have deleted all the files installed to the UT3 directory ....and still had issues.Taking it one step further, i deleted my UTGame,UTWeb,UTMaplists,UTVote and UTwebadmin ini's to start from scratch. Still a no go to connect anymore.
Does webadmin alter anything in the ut3 install directory too? Do i have to delete my entire Documents\MyGames folder to get back to default?

[CoZmicShReddeR]

Hey, is anyone having issues with the maplist opening and closing really fast?

I am using version v1.12

I tried using different browsers and different game modes but whenever I go to edit the map list the list drops down then closes really fast.

I tried it with IE, FireFox and Opera browsers...

It does work fine for a while after I shut down and restart the servers...

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm a server admin, i need some help for setting the anti-cheat hack from the WebAdmin.

I don't understand what the 3 option do. Can you explain me please?

[Carnifax]

I need some help please.

[Carnifax]

UP Please

[Chaotic_Cannon]

Ok, I upgraded my server to patch 2.1. I uploaded the latest web admin (release at the same time as the 2.1 patch). Now my web admin does not work.

I just get failed to connect to page.

I cant remember where and what ini's need editing to make sure the listen post is right, or where the passwords are.

[EmDzei]

How I set multiadmin support?

I have add the line "WebAdmin.MultiWebAdminAuth" to AuthenticationClass on [WebAdmin.WebAdmin] section and HTTP authentication to true; bHttpAuth=true.

What I add to section [WebAdmin.BasicWebAdminAuth]? Of course the username but where password?

I didn't get in when using this multiadmin class.

Yep, Windows dedicated system with patch 5 (v2.1) and titan pack.

[TONY[-TOC-]]

here is a dumb question. Is there a way to run the webadmin from a server different than the game server.

[Chaotic_Cannon]

here is a dumb question. Is there a way to run the webadmin from a server different than the game server.

Not sure what you mean by this?????

What happens is you get the web admin files on your pc. You edit the .ini files to add in your admin login and password and the port that the web admin can use to read from the game server provider.

Then you upload these web admin files to the UT game folders on the server that your game runs from (the server of your game server provider).

Then you open your web browser and type in the IP address of your server with the port number you choose. So it looks like this:

http://XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:ZZZZ/ServerAdmin/

Where the X's are the IP and the Z's are the port number.

Then you will see a screen for the login for your web admin of your server. Then you go in and edit the settings you want without having to download the ini files from your server, manually edit them, then save and re-upload the files, restart the server and check to see if it is right.

thanks! =)

So we can make/edit the game profiles at any time server full or not and no reboot is required, just press save and its done?

[Nuppi]

Great job elmuerte, thanks.

[M^vL]

Thanks elmuerte for the new version. I have never had any luck getting custom community chars added as bots. Just curious if this was ever going to be possible. I'd like to get the Skaarj and Liandri robots in there.

that would be cool , but then it would push the custom chars via redirect which may get folk to leave!

[M^vL]

Actually it doesn't work that way to my knowledge. Custom chars don't get pushed by redirects (unfortunately!) and conversely, if you're using a custiom char but the server doesn't have it installed, everyone will see you as demo guy.

I'm using 'Malcom' atm our server doesn't have it installed, yet on a demo I'm still 'Malcom' ! which doesn't make sense after what you just said- will have to do some testing!

[RSA|Thing]

Hi Elmuerte,

is it possible to integrate IpToCountryFlags with GeoIP.dat by the player ip
in the Webadmin?

[elmuerte]

possible? don't see why not, but it's not something I'm going to do.

[RSA|Thing]

possible? don't see why not, but it's not something I'm going to do.

and why not?

[elmuerte]

Because I regard it as a low priority feature request with a low demand, and I have more important things to do (like moving).

[voidy]

Elmurte, thanks you so much for a great tool.
I am not sure if you will ever do another release but if you do please consider adding
1. Chat Text Filter
2. Player text mute on chat text filter violation
3. permanently textmute a player
