Admin Tool

Thrall Wars comes with an optionally downloadable admin tool that allows you to remotely manage large parts of your server.

Features include:


 * Seeing who is online


 * Sending messages to individual players as well as the entire server
 * Kicking and banning players
 * Doing family share checks
 * Giving characters items
 * Renaming characters
 * Changing pippi ranks of characters
 * Listing all clans on the server
 * Checking building limits of clans

Requirements

 * Most parts of this tool require Pippi and the Thrall Wars Dungeon Mod to work properly. It is highly recommended you have both of them installed in your server
 * The "Mark Donator" feature requires a Pippi rank called "Donator" set up already.

Configuration File
The admin tool can be configured with the settings.json file, which is localed in the Saved folder of your installation. The default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Thrall War\Thrall War Remote Admin\Saved\settings.json.

Every time we post new version of the Remote Admin Tool, your setting.json file will stay intact. You will only need to set it up once. We recommend you to make a settings.json for your server and hand it out to your other admins to give them remote access!

You can override the config file location with the environment variable TW_SETTINGS_LOCATION

Configuration uses the json format. Please familiarize yourself with it if you have not already: https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json_intro.asp

Configuring server connections
The admin tool can have connections to multiple servers. You configure them in the settings.json under the key Servers.

Each server gets it's own entry, like this: You need to modify the Description, IPNumber, Port and Password and change it to your server's configuration before.

Configuring build count limits
The admin tool has a feature to check build counts for clans, but it will need to be configured properly in settings.json. For now, building limits are configured based on the clan size. You will need to add one entry to the settings.json for each possible size of clans on your server.

Open the settings.json in a text edtior of your choice, for example notepad++. It might look like this: Add a new key to the json named "BuildCountLimits", which is an array, like this: And now add an entry for each possible clan size like this: Where Members is the clan size for which the building limits are in effect. Save and restart your admin tool. You should now be able to use the build count feature!
