Okay,

I think I've finally found some time to be able to come back and offer up some more contributions to Ulysses.
It's been a while, but I'm sure it won't take too much to hop back in and give the community something new.

This project... is going to be a web front end for XGUI. There's a lot in there! (Stickly... ;) )
The design is simply going to be the same as the GUI in GMOD, but a little more refined.

It's going to be a hosted solution with steam and/or rcon authentication. (not sure which one yet. Don't really want the steam credentials though)
I'm going to try and implement every feature of XGUI, this means a few extra hooks in the core since everything will have to be rcon.

There are some road blocks, like transferring map thumbnails and auto complete functions.

Of course standard RCON functions will be available.

I would really like to add some way of view a players screen. (even if it's 1-2 frames per second.)

But, before tackling the project, I thought I'd through the idea up here and see if you guys have any insight or potential pitfalls.

As a plus, this service would be able to monitor and alert of down times and other things.
I want to hook all ULib logs and be able to alert on specified events.


What do you guys think?

MrPresident:
Great idea, though I'm curious to see how you work out sending player screens to a web interface.

jay209015:
Thanks. Me too. I was thinking of capturing about 5-10 fps for about 5 seconds (buffer) then transfer the buffer how the browser play it while the server builds the next buffer. I just have to find out how to capture the players screen. Probably not too hard though.

I think Brett has done some work with this in the past, but that my have just been changing players camera position in game.

JamminR:
I'm fine with every idea, with exception of this;

Remember, XGUI is just a front end for ULX.
XGUI does everything ULX does, just, graphically.
We purposely pushed Stickly in that path as he worked on it.
So, I feel it would be better to say "try and implement every feature ULX does - like XGUI does in-game, but with a web based GUI interface instead.

Rock on!

MrPresident:
Semantics!
