Web Based GM Management

[Lalolyen]

I'm starting development of another code he he...

I hope to have this released this afternoon sometime or at least working on our server.

Would anyone happen to be interested in a GM Management code that will have features like:

1. Access controlled Management of GM accounts of lesser status of their own (such as status lvl 150 can manage 149 and lower meaning they can demote them and promote them up to 1 level below the promoter.), delete their characters, copy characters (like dynamic quest characters for us old SoE GMs that still uses the /become command he he)).
2. Able to run as a plugin or standalone from my Web Based Petition system.
3. Able to create an empty character to the GM's account.

Basically this is setup so if like for instance, I am at work and I hear a GM went whaco, you could simply login to the website, and demote him, period, no having to wait to get home and login to the server to demote him or promote.

I would be very interested. I've also been searching for something that would allow for start/stopping zones, viewing zone status, viewing number of users connected, etc. Can you think of any other web-based tools that would accomplish this?

Actually the web interface built into EQEMU should accomplish that.

[koldar]

No way - how do I access the web interface? i didn;t know there was a web interface with eqemu.

[Lalolyen]

look at eqemu_config.xml.full ...

There is an entire tag line in there that looks something like...

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. Defaults are shown -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />

that http port, just got to http://yourdomain:9080 *or what ever number you have specified*.

Though it is a bit underdeveloped, and limited on functionality, but you can start up zones, stop them, move characters from account to account, thats about all though.

Just a small update btw, it may take a bit longer than anticipated... I'm really hacking out the work here on a very complex permissions system, that will be customizable by the operator... A brief description..

Ops (200+) can specify:
1. What status level can edit/change/or add to other status levels.
2. What status level can access the system.
3. Status names (such as 0 = Player, 100 = GM-Admin etc however defaults are preloaded).
4. What status levels are active (like you can say the entire GM-Coder, Quest Master, EQ Support statuses are blocked out).

As you can tell this is a bit more complex than checking if someone is a user or admin lol... And is taking a bit more work.

So far the main fuction of status checking is complete, access permissions are being worked on atm... The last thing I will work on is the actual forms and how they will manipulate the database along with the login itself... So thus far, I'm about 20% complete with the project, and as you can tell I'm way behind on my own expectations.
