Hey all, I recently had a friend ask me to put the bukkit server witch is console base into a Windows App(GUI). So what I've been working on is that I made a Server Manager pretty much so commands could be executed with the help of buttons and textboxs. The program interacts with the command prompt that you never see and the command prompt.
Current Features
-Works only with bukkit for now and default commands
-Only Windows port for now(I could make this controllable from mobile devices also and make a Mac port)
-Easy server setup(copy run.bat and craftbukkit.jar into the server folder witch I make a shortcut to on the desktop for easy access, start the program and it will start your server for you)
-Easy access to command one click commands(custom values)
-in case of extra commands I have setup the program to have a console inside of it so you can also type commands
Things I want to add
-Possible scheduler
-Get a list of players that user can select names instead of typing it
-possible mobile extension(program could be controlled by mobile device)
-Added a download button to get the latest craftbukkit.jar and saves it to the server folder
-Added Plugin section witch allows user to have a list of plugins that he can install(showing in my video)
-Easy install button witch downloads the plugin and saves it into the plugin folder
-Press Reload Plugins to activate the plugin
Everything being downloaded are all links from the dev.bukkit.org website
Comments and suggestions are welcome
here is some current progress
Also added download link on the first post.
