steeffeen and me started a new Project some time ago called ManiaControl. It's a completely new generation of server controlling and will make a lot of things way easier, easy adjustable and also easy to build future improvement, extensions and plugins for it.
This controller has improved ManiaExchange interactions, one-click map updating, easy search functions and many more.
Pretty much everything is configurable and adjustable directly ingame: Server settings, Script settings, ManiaControl configuration, updating the Controller and its Plugins, etc.
So you don't have to mess around with config xml files anymore!
Many other features will come like instant GameMode and Script changing ingame and maybe automatic installation of gamemodescripts.
For the User interface and its widget we use powerful ManiaScript improving usability as well as visibility.
Until the release it will still take quite some time of testing and improving. But with time we will provide screenshots of all the beautiful features.
I am sure you will love how everything is implemented and easy to use with ManiaControl.
A list of test servers which are running at the moment:
Paragon Siege 100k
Paragon Elite Public CustomMaps
Paragon Mania-ACTU January Poll Maps
Devota Elite
Thanks also to TGYoshi for some ManiaExchange changes and to Wabbitface who supports us from the first minute, bringing in his ideas and helping us to improve everything, especially from the player's view, also thanks to other supporters like TheM, KlausiDelxue and many more.
More information will follow soon.
Best regards,
Lukas and Steff
