AddonSync2009, using gslist.

Needs to be fixed a bit though (v1.2 needs to be added to the version list etc).

It also has saveable filters, a favorites list, launch/monitor game capabilities and lots of other features.

shame that they dont show what kind of mods are signed, this is a horrible game design issue, just like not been able to set servers on a favourite list.

because you can use signatures in multiple ways

per file (e.g. key only at ABC.pbo)

per group of files (e.g. ABCD.pbo and ABCDE.pbo) e.g. all addons from addon maker XYZ

and this may be depending on content of file or multiple files

so You can allow e.g. only latest version of addon or all versions of addon ...

that's why it's nearly impossible to share information about signatures use cause even if e.g.:

+ it could be possible to share ALL filenames inside Keys directory but that would on addon heavy servers be more than 1k characters (128 average)

then still it tells nothing about what exactly it allows (just roughly informative)

The keys system implementation is great.

The only thing it may lack I think is some client side feedback.

Like

A messagebox

"You where kicked because you use blabla.pbo,dada.pbo,.." + a button "Open list of disallowed addons".

This way users could actively look for what they did wrong, regardless of server settings.

Another route would be to actively negotiate with the server the addons needed to connect. But i think that would require massive engine changes.

list of the addons causing kick should be saved into arma2.rpt file ...

tho i think it's not complete if the line exceeds 1023 chars ..

The problem is exactly the kind of user to get kicked for missing addons is the kind of user unable to find the arma.rpt file ;)

Ah yes another button for AddonSync: open Arma.rpt! :-)

Is there any progress on either having remote admin control or more than one admin on a server at one time?

that would be intresting

Debbie downer here...

- I dont think rcon for ArmA 2 will happen since there is really no need for it. (You all should list WHY one needs not be on a server to admin it? Is that worth the time/funding to dev it? - perhaps this needs to be a community mod?)

- I also think that an rcon module for ArmA 2 would get hacked pretty dang quickly. (think about all the hack groups that would love that kind of access to your server)

I will now exit stage left with all my negativity ... lol

This is my favourite web based server browser, I hope it's going to be updated for OA.

Seems to be showing some servers allready. Just checked a minute ago.

I got it showing them again! I filtered it to show Playing, Waiting and Only Dedicated Servers and some of the 1.52 servers show up. And then I arrange them with the version tab..

that's because if someone change theirs listen/dedicated server from ARMA 2 to ARMA 2:OA the query port is same and they appear for short while
