I've fixed the map cycle/list editing page. It should now also work in
MSIE (including 6). I had to relocate the delete button because MSIE
sucks at calculating dimensions of elements or respecting HTML and
CSS. Anyway, I've also added an option to manage additional map
lists. This allows you to easily change the whole map list for a game
type with a pre-made one. The additional map lists will be stored in the
UTGame.ini. I've also done some major work on the backend code of the
"change game" page. It should now properly handle the options, and the
denied options. Options that are in the deny list will be removed from
the user entered URL. If these options were previosly set (for example
on the launch url) they will be added to the new URL (in the
background). This should fix some issues when you set things like the
adminpassword on the launch commandline. And there have been various
other small tweaks here and there.
A little note to people using HTTP authentication rather that the form
based authentication, the logout feature does not work very well. This
is because there actually no functionality to make the browser forget
the authentication information. Specially MSIE will remember that
information for a long time. so it is best to close the browser when you
want to log out. These issues do not apply when you use the form based
authentication.


Resolved bugs (from the bug tracker):
- 0000030: [Front end (HTML/CSS/JavaScript)] can't delete maps from
maplist in MSIE
- 0000033: [Front end (HTML/CSS/JavaScript)] After Mapchange and Mutator
change (with WebAdmin 0.7), the password doenst work anymore...
- 0000031: [Front end (HTML/CSS/JavaScript)] log out + http auth + msie
doesn't allow re-login

Thanks El Muerte! Works great!

[TekHead]

Everything works except for the 3 links.

1. GameTypes page link( Blank Page Screen )
2. Mutators Link ( Blank Page Screen )
3. Passwords Link ( Blank Screen )
Note:

That maybe because Im running 2 gametypes on my server at the same time. ( CTF and VCTF ) But not sure?

I like the fact that the ABT mutator is showing up now. It was an empty checkbox before... Now i just have to figure out how i get the custom maps in the maplist at the change level section. Gr8 job (:

[Corey]

Thanks again, all functions are working perfectly.

[Al]

One thing I've noticed... Sometimes adding maps in the maps cycles section wont save. Is there a limit on how many maps there can be?

So far everything seems to be working good here. Thanks elmuerte!

It looks really nice I will admit. Do you think there will be a way to support custom game types within the webadmin? We are trying to work with BattleRPG and Galtanors Invasion but the lack of an official gametype for Invasion in UT3 is causing some very strange results.

I won't go into the issues because I understand why it wouldn't work at this point.

Thanks....

Great Job!! Now it works fine Only the "Edit Mutator" check box is empty. Custom game types like LTS work´s too

Hi,

Very nice release ElMuerte, thank you so much for all your work !

I also have a little question, i can't figure out how to change HTTP auth to form auth...
I don't see this option in UTWeb.ini nor UTWebAdmin.ini and it didn't appear in the "Option" section of the WebAdmin...

If someone could help me, it would be kind.

[EDIT] Found it, just need to turn HTTPAuth from true to false :P

Bye,

[elmuerte]

Custom gametypes/maps/mutators are supported. You just have to make sure you put the gametype/map/mutator's ini file in the correct location so that the server recognizes them.

As for configuring custom gametypes/mutators. There is no automagic configuration system, the configuration options will have to be explicitly defined and made known to the webadmin. I haven't had the time to write documentation about this yet, but any mod developer with 3/4 brain should be able to figure it out. Although the current system only support basic configuration items. The standard mutators that ship with the game can not expose their configuration in a basic form, they require a more complex system. This complex system is not yet done.

Hi.
I wanted to add my custom maps to the maplist.. So i pasted the lines @ the ini's to the game.ini (with description, preview image, etc).. Now THIS happened. Is that normal? THNX!

[elmuerte]

you shouldn't copy that to the utgame.ini, only the retail maps/mutators/gametypes are listed in the utgame.ini (iirc), UT3 should find the other .ini files in the configuration directory and load them automatically.
And yes, it's normal that stuff that is registered twice to show up twice.
