Ladder / Config Manager

[Evolution]

Sorry for not getting back to you guys sooner. I haven't had any time to finish up version 1.5, but if you want, you can download an in-development edition at

http://www.unrealadmin.org/downloads...Ladderv150.zip

There are quite a few bugfixes, and it's also been updated to be compatible with the 2225 webadmin, so it's definitely worth grabbing. The support for adding commandline parameters to Ladder profiles isn't finished, so that won't work, but the console commands are in, and I'll try to get enough time to write up a complete list of valid commands that you can use to administer Ladder profiles from within the game. If anyone wants to volunteer to do this, that would be fantastic.

Please let me know what other bugs/issues exist in this version. I'm not going to change the link in the downloads area until I get a little feedback from you guys to make sure there aren't any major problems.

Also, I included a new version of ConfigManager in the Ladder150 zip file. There aren't any new features (that were finished anyway), but I'm not sure what issues you might have with using an older version of ConfigManager with this release of Ladder, so best just to replace your current version of ConfigManager with this one.

I uploaded all *.u & *.int files into System directory and all web files in the correct Web folder.

I usa advanced webadmin and so I changed the ini line:

[Engine.GameInfo]
AccessControlClass=ConfigManager.ConfigMasterAcces sControlIni

Didn't insert anything more and restarted the server. All I can see now new in the Webadmin is the Line:
Server Actors

But nothing at all where to create/delete/modify/import any kind of profiles

Ah, this is because the GUI administration menu for ladder isn't finished, thus not included in the zip, but the loader (LadderLoader.u) was still referencing that package. This would cause the server to crash, actually.

Config Manager won't load any packages that would cause the server to crash, so it wasn't loading Ladder, haha.

Anyway, fixed now. Get the updated version at the same link. The only file that's changed is the LadderLoader.u. Once you've overwritten your version with the files from the zip, you'd click on the "Server Actors" link in webadmin, then enable the Ladder option, and restart the server.

ok now that is working and I've got a link 'Ladder' too ... but soon as I goto that link

Your privileges are not sufficient to view this page.

appears. I've got all rights in this advanced webadmin but where can I set myself allowed to access the ladder menu?

[Evolution]

Well, if you are the master admin, you should not be receiving that message at all. If you are not the master admin, you'll need to give yourself Ladder priviledge. There should be a new section in the user priv's page in the 'Admin & Groups' area of webadmin called 'Ladder'.

I'm masteradmin and have set

[Engine.GameInfo]
AccessControlClass=ConfigManager.ConfigMasterAcces sControlIni

Where coult the error be?

[Evolution]

Do you have a section in your server's ini that looks like this:
<code>
[ConfigManager.ConfigMasterAccessControlIni]
KickToMenu=Xinterface.UT2NetworkStatusMsg
PrivClasses=Class'XAdmin.xKickPrivs'
PrivClasses=Class'XAdmin.xGamePrivs'
PrivClasses=Class'XAdmin.xUserGroupPrivs'
PrivClasses=Class'XAdmin.xExtraPrivs'
PrivClasses=Class'Ladder.LadderPrivs'
</code>

If not, add it, and I'll look into why Config Manager didn't create it in the first place. That should do it, though.

Hi, managed now, just created a new xadmin.ini and now all works fine. Ladder Mutator is even able to enable gamestats for people who haven't got rights to edit the cmd line It's working fine right now thx for this cool stuff

I know its just the development version... but one quick note.. the xgame.xctfgame section of the profile settings area doesnt save the following: allow behind view, allow taunts, allow admin pausing, there may be others, but those are the only ones i've found so far

[edit]Allow Translocator is another one it doesnt save, which now makes the program useless for my clan... i have to switch the profile thru ladder, then restart the map again turning off the translocator the normal way...[/edit]

Does this happen only on CTF matches, or on any gametype?

[OUFNecro]

I'll have to look into it further, but i'm pretty sure its on all gametypes.. i'll repost next week some time (going to cottage this w/e)

[Evolution]

Yes, I'm getting this myself. It's very strange - I'm not sure what's causing it. I should have some time this weekend to look into it though.

Ladder v1.5 doesn't save:
- Tournament Mode
- Bots Balance Teams
- Players Balance Teams
- Players must be ready
- Allow Taunts
- Allow Admin Pausing
- Allow Behindview

MODs tested:
- Rocketeer 0.84a
- Capture the Flag
- DoubleDomination
- Tournament DeathMatch

I didn't have the time to check all the others but it seems that Ladder v1.5 doesn't save any kind of settings in XGame.xXXXXXX so that all settings have to be done manually again.

But it's a great tool anyway

Anyone else getting errors in getting a ladder profile to support TTM v3.0? I'm getting the following error when trying to switch to the profile containing TTM v3.0 (only mutator) CTF (normal maps):
