XConsole - enhanced system console

[~V~]

I have improved the font sizes a bit. Now you do:

font 1
font 2
font 3
font 4

It's a very small improvement on midget text and blasting your head off:

Thx =) Very nice!

[N!Ce]

Hi there,

first of all, thanks for this great tool!
Unfortunately, I can't get the dump button and command to work. It confirms it by showing the file name, but I can't find the file in the system folder or anywhere else in the UT (sub-) folders.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? o:

[~V~]

It should be saved in XLogs folder, usually c:\unrealtournament\Xlogs

The folder should have been created when unzipping the file, but you may need to create it if it wasn't.

[N!Ce]

I was indeed missing the folder. Added it and works now.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have not used this for a very long time , thank you for these updates .. I shall have a play and see whats new

Cheers.

ps: if I have any idea's I shall report back here with them

[back4more]

just wondering re: StealthAdmin.. are you able to make / tweak a version which has all admin privs yet stealthily?

also excellent Xconsole there ~V~ .. very nice. Keep up the good work

cheers

[~V~]

You should have all admin privs with Stealth Admin, but some things like mapvote look for the non-stealthy admin flag and therefore don't work with SA. Probably some others do the same, but that's all I can recall offhand.

[back4more]

Have had a good play with this thing and it is better then std console by 110%

Wondering , About a few things that maybe able to be added like;

*Nexgen GameSettings type stuff;

*Change Match Time
*Add/Remove Bots
*Change Other .ini settings via Xconsole for Various GameTypes;

[Botpack.ChallengeBotInfo]
Difficulty=1

[Botpack.DeathMatchPlus]
bNoviceMode=True
bHardCoreMode=True
bUseTranslocator=False
bCoopWeaponMode=False
MinPlayers=0
AirControl=0.350000
FragLimit=0
TimeLimit=10
bChangeLevels=False
bMegaSpeed=False
bAltScoring=False
bMultiWeaponStay=True
bForceRespawn=False
bTournament=False
NetWait=10
RestartWait=15
MaxCommanders=0
InitialBots=5
bNoMonsters=True
bHumansOnly=False
bClassicDeathMessages=False
MinFOV=80.000000
MaxFOV=130.000000
MaxNameChanges=0

[Botpack.CTFGame]
bUseTranslocator=True
bCoopWeaponMode=False
GoalTeamScore=3.000000
bNoTeamChanges=False
FriendlyFireScale=0.000000
MaxTeams=2
MaxTeamSize=16
FragLimit=0
TimeLimit=10
bMultiWeaponStay=True
bForceRespawn=False
MaxCommanders=0
bNoMonsters=True
bHumansOnly=False
bClassicDeathMessages=False
MinFOV=80.000000
MaxFOV=130.000000
MaxNameChanges=0

and

[Engine.GameReplicationInfo]
ServerName=Another UT Server
ShortName=UT Server
AdminName=
AdminEmail=
Region=0
MOTDLine1=
MOTDLine2=
MOTDLine3=
MOTDLine4=

^Like these types of variables

*once was looking for something that could input .ini/.log files (probably a big task this one) but it would be good to be able to edit .ini files on the fly from within console.
* also be able to view server logs.

I notice you have UTDC in the console , perhaps future revisions could include ACE + Banmanager..

perhaps other useful things like
Purecmds
aka cmds
HA Cmds.

ect etc .. ?

Keep up the good work much appreciated..

*those are just a few idea's thrown out there

[Chamberly]

B4M, love the suggestion. I agree!

[~V~]

There are pages for Pure and ACE already, but you need to enable those pages in the xconsole.ini and restart. What is HA?

I looked at making an ACE page, but there is already ACE Manager which does pretty much everything.

I'll look at banmanager.

The other settings are doable - it's just finding the best method to implement them, after all they should be settable via console commands already. Maybe a config window would be a way, but maybe that would be better as it's own mod?

I will look at these as soon as I can but have a shedload of Uni work to be doing for the next few weeks.

[back4more]

just a Quick couple of additions for you ~V~ M8

One of Noggies lil projects looks like a winner.. has various cmds (see Readme) for sending players to servers , kicking , punching & muting.. and other things of this nature.. its not just a stats package..

Cheers

XConsole 2.5.0 rc1 is available for testing.

What is an 'rc'? It's short for release candidate, which means that it's a kind of testing version before the full 2.5.0 is released (think beta).
We'll see how we get on with bugs and then release an rc2 etc. until no more glaring errors are found (or people give up caring) and release the 2.5.0 final.

Please use this thread for reporting bugs etc.

=============================

Installation
------------

For new users who don't already have XConsole:

Information on XConsole and a few screenshots are here:
http://www.unrealize.co.uk/index.php?xconsole

Install:
1) Install version 3.4.8 from here: http://www.unrealize.co.uk/cgi-bin/d...d=xconsole.zip
2) Grab rc1 from: http://www.unrealize.co.uk/xconsole/...le3.5.0rc1.zip and replace XConsole.u with the one in this and put in place the other files, replacing where necesary.

-----------

For people that already have XConsole installed:
1) BACKUP your old files: XConsole.u, XConsole.ini, XMacros.ini, UnrealTournament.ini.
Do (2) above.

There are some extra files that come with XConsole now:

Textures\XFonts.utx - custom fixed width Deja Vu fonts. They make the console text much clearer and better aligned.
System\XConsoleHelp.ini - now help is stored in a separate text file.
System\Radiobox.u - Wormbo's radiobox class used in the config window.

XConsole.int has changed slightly and now the UT advanced options (type 'preferences') shows an XConsole section and some editable settings.

=============================

Changelog:

Alt-p opens up config window to change fonts, which pages are shown etc.
tc command which toggles between XConsole console text and normal console text.
Show/Hide page renamed to Console.
Macro page renamed to Keys.
Much better alias system, which allows unlimited, multiple commands aliases and menus.
Aliases are automatically included in the auto-complete system.
New spectating modes (see commands.txt): nukers, xspec.
IP address of server in status bar.
IRC commands for admins/moderators to use with IRC bots.
Dynamically coloured console text, switchable with colours/colors commands.
Console colours can be set in XConsole.ini [XConsole.XConsole_ConsoleTextArea] section.
Clickable links and IPs in console (can turn off with 'links' command).
Variables that are usable in a bind/alias.
Support for bExtra button binds to take UT or XConsole commands/aliases.
Extra HUD info about people removing buildings in Siege.
Console tabs can be traversed using alt+PageUp/PageDown keys.
Console scrolls 20 lines with PageUp/PageDown.
Font settings for scrollback, input box, IRC and player list.
MaxLines setting for console auto-adjusted depending on which logging mode is used.
Siege stats in HUD while spectating.
Added second custom buttons page.
Added a fixed width console/irc font in separate XFonts package.
Added TabComplete[] list to ini to add custom commands to.
Probably more stuff that I forgot.

See the Changelog.txt for more info.

Oops almost forgot this:

Command list: http://www.unrealize.co.uk/xconsole/commands.txt

@back4more:problem with that is it needs to be built against serverside code, which will fail for anyone on a server without that mod running.

[~V~]

rc2 is available. Same installation method as rc1. If you are using rc1 now, then you can just copy the new XConsole.u over the old one.

[~V~]

rc3 is available. Same installation method as rc1/2. If you are using rc1/2 now, then you can just copy the new XConsole.u over the old one.

Thanks for the update awesome work !

[~V~]

This is 3.5.0rc71

Fixes:
Fixed the follow function.
Added slightly larger IRC fonts. Now in IRC type /font 0,1,2,3 to choose one. It isn't huge but it's better than the default font, which is tiny. The edit box is also affected, but try as I might I cannot resize it to fit larger fonts.

New stuff:
A method of following flag carriers when speccing CTF games. The commands are redflag. blueflag and unflag.
Redflag will follow whoever has the red flag etc. Unflag turns off the function. You can bind these to keys to quickly switch between flags.

Link: http://www.unrealize.co.uk/testing/

To install:

BACKUP your old XConsole.u!

XFonts.utx goes in Textures/
All the other files go in System/

You don't need the font-source but I include it as it's open source
software.

Open your Unrealtournament/System folder and find in
Unrealtournament.ini:

Under Engine.Engine, change Console line to this:

;Console=UTMenu.UTConsole
Console=XConsole.XConsole

To reset just move the ;

If you are upgrading from a previous version from testing/ then you only need grab XConsole.u

[~V~]

XConsole 3.5.0rc72

Link: http://www.unrealize.co.uk/testing/

Some fixes with rightclicking player list.
Added the old XConsole 348 to the dir and updated readme.
