Hello pilots,
I like to introduce you a little tool I have programmed to control the startup of Steam and launcher.exe and then it watches every minute whether or not everything is still running.
The tool has right now the following features:
It deletes the cache folder if you have set it up
It starts Steam with the input credentials. Start call is: -single_core -tcp -retry -login ' & $sSteamUser & ' ' & $sSteamPassword & ' ' & '-applaunch 63950 -server'
If an error occurs, it stops Steam and launcher.exe and makes a complete restart
It writes everything what it is doing into the GUI and a logfile
You can set what you want to log (Infos, Warnings, Errors)
You can configure to receive an email if an event occurs
You can set the program to autorun the server when it starts
It saves all settings to an inifile
The passwords of Steam and the optional SMTP server password are saved with RC4 encryption in the inifile
It supports English and German at the moment (if one want to translate the labels into an additional language, then let me know, I can provide a list)
At the moment it (hopefully) detects every Steam window which can appear (because I couldn't test them all -> have to wait until they appear. At the moment it reacts to situations I experienced and the ideas from the Repka Server, provided by Ataros here in the forum) and if the process launcher.exe disappear. If one of these things happen it stopps Steam and launcher.exe and restarts the server. But that's just a start. I want to encourage you to test it and if you have wishes or improvements or you find errors then I will do my very best to implement them. Enclosed you see a couple of pics of the program and the download link.
Feedback very appreciated !!! ~S~
Edit:
Almost forgotten: If you activate info events AND email notification the program will spam your inbox, 'cause an info event occours at least every minute... ;)
