Default Il-2 Simple Server Daemon (version 0.3.2 released)

Version 0.3.2 released!

Version 0.3.2 can be downloaded here.

I have made the repository for this tool public on Github today. It can be found at https://github.com/DavidGregory084/il2ssd.

If you find a bug, please feel free to report it using the issue tracker on Github.
Likewise, if you think something is missing that isn't mentioned in the readme, you can raise a feature request there too.

There are a few rough edges for now; for example it doesn't deal with unreliable or blocked connections very well.
On Linux, it doesn't look very nice and won't accept that I have defined the app as non-resizable (this is a general JavaFX 2 problem).

I hope this is useful to some of you!

What OS platforms have you tested this on ?

Java 7u55 crashes under Win 8.1

There's other issues as well as you are aware/.

Interesting, can I get you to go to a command prompt and do "java -version"?

This is what I have been testing over on Win 8.1:
Code:
java version "1.7.0_55"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_55-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.55-b03, mixed mode)
Also 7u40 on Linux Mint 16.

Here's a bit of a walkthrough if anybody is curious about what it does.



One thing I forgot to point out in the vid: you can see at the end an il2ssd.ini appearing when I close the app. This config does get loaded when you start the program again so you don't have to define the server, single mission or cycle every time.

I identified a fix for the font loading issue shown in the video so version 0.1.1 is now available...

That's good to hear! In your opinion, what's the most important missing feature to tackle first? Is the plan I've outlined above to add DCG mode, then pilot management the best, or are there more pressing features which should be added first?

I think your priorities are good.

It would be good to have an GUI utility for exporting mission stats, later on.

And of course TD has improved IL-2, with "moving dogfight sever" capability, spawning from static aircraft, and other such features also, I believe. These features were not available when the Gennadich Sever Commander was released many years ago, so, I don't know how these would play into your Il-2 Simple Server Daemon.

Cool, statistics is not something I want to approach yet, but I would very likely make the system use the existing structure from FBDj so that existing stats pages could be used... using Datomic as an alternative after the glowing reviews from my firm's CTO is a tempting prospect, though, as this would allow more fully featured comparisons, such as how much a player has improved.
As for MDS, etc., that's not really something for my program to be too concerned with, luckily, as it's more of a concern for the utilities that generate the missions such as DCG.

Default Version 0.2.0 released!

Hey guys,
Today I've released version 0.2.0 with the DCG features added.

Here's a shot of my config file structure; I want it to be this simple for each new feature:



Here's a video with a summary of the new features.
