poeple let me know what u think about this project aswell as suggestions or feedback. they are all welcome!

Nice!

Wow thats pretty nice. Great maybe less questions will be asked on how to setup plugins lol. wich you for got the h.

I do like toying with the config though.

I know this is the first post and I really like it, but I have one question. Is it possible to add some type of FTP. For example I install this on my system and ftp into my server. Like Notepad++ and NppFTP plugin.

nice idea. so what i understand is making the app download the plugins folder. and load the plugins and then afterwards upload and overwrite the plugins folder i can do that.

sure shall write it to the todo list

Yes exactly. I do suggest to give a warning of overwriting the folder if possible. You're awesome.

i do for sure

small update ..
i have everything in place now almost ready for first release.
FTP is the only thing thats bugging me at the moment it doesnt want to upload files XD
but i'l solve it. with or without FTP today!
btw i shall add some new screenshots

yeeey! release 1. without FTP but has:
Iconomy
achievements
Stats
and the basic interface

Hint: Make an automatic parser So you don't have to create a GUI for every plugin!

well it does not Parse YML so its impossible. but for normal plugins its possible. i think i write an API for it so people can make plugins for plugins for this app. mabe its a smart idea. but i must test see if it works first

but nice idea

any feedback. there are a lot of downloads

Major update folks
i have written the API system wich can be controlled by anyone who makes a module.
making a module is easy as 1 2 3 and you dont need to know any special Scripting language
i will make a PDF with documentation that come with the API system. aswell as an set templates (working modules)
so i keep u updated folks!

ok released 1.2 with a bunch of bugfixes and some additions like the FTP function for downloading/uploading to remote hosts

ok anyone has any requests or suggestions or feedback? i'm open for it!
working on the API now must tweek it a bit more then afterwards i shall try to make Bpermissions config editor Modules for the API

if anyone is interested how to make apis pm me so i send you the documentation Before the official release wich contains the documentation XD

it seems that many people download the app. but dont react here.
it looks like nobody wants this software or this forum is just stuck on 2 topics.
please people if u take it put a reply here what u think of this app or atleast say that ur downloading it.

the api is mostly Done now. so it is not to long before i release my app.
any suggestions how to share the modules. i have no idea where to start XD
i also need suggestions for plugins i must Support for the main gui so advanced management.
hope to hear something.

At this moment you are "publishing" that application.
Instead of publishing:
Build the application (if using Visual Studio Professional or higher: Select Release as build type)
Now go to [Project]/bin/Debug or [project]/bin/Release and copy that executable

(note: drop the executable in a separate folder, and test if it starts up before distributing. In case it doesn't start up, that means that some additional files are not included in the exe. feel free to ask me about this )

I haven't actually used this yet. I'll check it out tomorrow to see if it works and give feedback.

Now this might be a strange request. As I haven't developed anything thing like this I don't know how difficult it would be to add. So you FTP support..which is awesome thank you! What about Proxy support?

Say I'm editing my server files behind a firewall and I need to use a proxy..could you add that?

the FTP function will connect to the server and download the files once ur done it will upload the files. i though theres no need for a proxy
even then i dont konw how i never used a proxy in my full life. i can do some research but i can not garantee i can do it

i have taken a look into FTP proxys.
i know that in HTTP its not that hard but if i wanna use it in FTP its a lot bigger.
and my Module i use for the FTP functions does not support the Proxy value.

Okay thanks for looking into it. As it is now its a great tool. : )

thanks for the feedback. i hope u have fun with it.
as soon as the new API is working like it must do then i release 2.0 version wich can support all plugins there exists!
if its XML or yml or .properties or .txt from cfg to ini it can do it all!

its almost done. just sending the right functions and it must work.
gonna release the new version in 3 days or less.

i also get some reports of people wanting a new citizens quest writer. gonna give it a go !

sorry that i didnt notice it.
what u do is working but instable.
its not advised to edit the program so that u can use it portable. due the fact its needed some core files.

so do not do that or i wont support u

It isn't unstable, it's as stable as it is when you release it.
you can also embed the dll files into your executable. You can Pm me for both C#or VB.net code if you want.

I'm not talking about me modifying your program, but about you changing the way you release

Btw: are you dutch?

i am dutch and i is instable. as tested on other systems.
may people are then missing files broken systems and some people even crash from an error the app cause
but i dont like any discussion about this do what u like but i dont support peeps who do.

ok i have a bug and i try to solve it when that bug is fixed i can release the next version!

wohooo i finished making the new version !
the api system is FULLY working the Modules FULLY WORKING
and i made a new WIKI page with all the info u need.
please let me know if u find bugs,errors, or if u miss something. ect..
Good lucK!

well thats low.. i worked hard on this there are many downloads.
but no replys? HELLO BUKKIT PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK!
