OFPwatch for ArmA?

[HitSqdhaXor]

Is this in dev or is BIS working on a mod manager at all?

[tug2000]

I'm working on one. More details soon...

Thats very good news tug. Thank you for taking this on.

There is also another program which allows you to see servers (JIP is now present so you can join in at any time now remember http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif), made by Kegetys and can be found here (http://www.kegetys.net/arma/)

Most of us already know about this. I was inquiring about a mod manager.

Thanks for the update!

@<hidden>: Do you know what has to be installed on the server to get it to work? Because what is really needed is an app that tells other clients what mods are on the server.

Auto download of mods from the server would be a huge "+" (optional or limited dl speeds)

Thanks&#33;

Thats great news&#33;

Since the maker of OFPwatch stated this ...

OFP Watch is no longer actively maintained&#33; Well at least I make that official now.

In the beginning I didn’t expect my simple server monitor to grow with features the way it did and have such an impact on the community. I’m very pleased with the response and I’ve had a lot of fun improving OFP Watch for you guys. Thank you&#33; However, I stopped playing OFP a long time ago, the code base in OFP Watch is getting old and I’m the main developer for a commercial software company. I don’t have the time or inspiration to update OFP Watch. OFP Watch has many flaws and limitations but it will remain one of the best alternatives for launching and add-on management. It should continue to serve the community well as it is.

If needed, I might be back with fresh tools for Armed Assault, unless someone beats me to it.

Greetings,

Source Page (http://www.binarybone.com/ofpwatch/)

Perhaps John would be willing to part with the source codes?
- OFP Watch was written in C++ by John Hammarberg (Certa).

If someone was really good with C# they would just have to modify what is already there to work with ArmA. Afterall, the community LOVES OFPwatch and it&#39;s functionality was/is amazing.

We really do need someone to take over this.
Whether it be OFPWatch or what ever, an auto addon download manager really saved OFP.
Everyone think back.. before OFPWatch.... nuff said? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/banghead.gif
I lost count of how many in our group gave up..when we said... "Go Here.. Get This... Put it HERE".

OFPWatch has gained a great reputation, along with Kegety&#39;s&#33;&#33; The future ArmA will need this prog~ or similar to keep the community informed, and active&#33;&#33; The mods will grow just as OFP mods did&#33;&#33;

Could you please add a server-browser for it? So we dont have to add all the servers ourselves, thanks. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Hoping its not a big problem, but i extracted the soundfiles from OFPWATCH to use them for ArmA Spy...

Want some Servers in the list?
Heres a aaspy.bin you can use to replace your own empty one. Has about 17 common servers on it.
Add/Delete as you see fit.
Back up your own aaspy.bin just in case.

Great program by the way... I like the "all-in-one-window" interface &#33;

nice work on the xml, however the list isnt complete.

a quick check tells me that 223 servers are online now, and your list show around 30 or so....

where do you use tha xml for? some flash app?

anyways - great to see more peepz working on similar stuff...

Well, try the second url.

The first one only lists servers with games in progress already. The second one includes those in &#39;waiting&#39; state.

It&#39;s all used for the statistics site, the data is there so presenting it is as xml is just two extra lines of code. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

@<hidden> : ok my bad - didnt see that
Whats the update frequency, and usage restrictions on your xml list?

[zyklone]

All servers should be queried atleast once per minute.
The data can be freely used as long as noone is trying to make money from it.

[jerryhopper]

thanks&#33; good to know....

but we&#39;re using our own list atm, i might make some fallback to your xmlstream. when i have the xml done, you might wanna use ours for u as fallback.

anyways.... no info on a dynamic serverlist in armaspy yet?

[jerryhopper]

little update :

i created an app that allows arma:// ip : port links.
this means your arma will join that designated server.
