Il-2 Simple Server Daemon

TheGrunch · #1 04-24-2014, 06:51 PM

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.

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

...and I identified a problem where the scheduler thread wasn't shutting down for 30 seconds or so after closing the program. Fixed for hotfix 2 above.

Thanks Grunch,
Yes, continue your project please!!
After watching the video, This is what I was wondering if someone has created lately, as the old "Gennadich Sever Commander" has long been abandoned,
But it was a very good program. It allowed rookies such as myself to be able to operate a dedicated sever as if a professional.

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.
