PHP Half-Life Monitor / News: Recent posts

Last night I released the current beta version of PHLMon. The probably most important changes for the normal end user is the fixed windows server support and the reconfiguration of the player's section. Both should work fine now. But there are also a whole lot of other improvements that make this version really worth downloading it. For more information, check out the ChangeLog.

A lot of changes were made which come evident on the first look: The GUI looks a lot "smoother" now, the whole script structure is a lot easier the use now.

The script was tested extensively with a new half-life server running dedicated on linux, this is also part of the reason why we're in alpha again - because I didn't have access to an appropriate variety of server configurations, I couldn't check all functions if they are working.... read more

Yeahaw, finally I got it. Took me exactly 10 months to finish this version and believe me, I did not work on it all the time. I just redid it again and again and then there were times when I just didn't have the feeling to sit down and do something serious about it. But now I'm pretty much satisfied with it and I think that the functions provided by the script are sufficient for the moment.

Yeah, the new version made it yesterday. But whats new?

The one big change is the support for different languages: Almost every word visible to the users is now editable. German and English language files are included, but everybodys invited to generate own ones.

The new version contains some necessary improvements:

Maps are now displayed properly with windows servers
All players are now shown on the players sheet (and not cut from the sixteenth one upwards)
New Halfc structure and features

Update notes:
If you want to upate from previous versions you always only need to replace the phlmon.php, phlmon.config.php and Halfc.class.php files. The format of the two files storing server and config information will only change after notification.

This is my first release on sourceforge.net. So all this stuff is pretty new for me, don't mind if something is not as expected, please tell me about problems with both PHLMon and the project on SF and how it's managed. Be assured that I do my best...
