[phaeton]

Hello everyone, right now I have started work on a game server control panel. I was wondering if there was a large interest or not, because if only 2-3 people are interested I'll probably just say go get exo panel or iguana because its a waste of my time

Right now I have these features lined up:

Games Suggested:
COD
SOF2
MOHAA
MOHSH
MOHBT
Ravenshield/Athena Sword
UT
UT2k3
UT2k4
Halo
CS
HLTV
BF1942
BF:V

Other App Control:
Ventrilo

Platforms:
Win2K/2K3 (games must be run as services)
Linux (preferrably a init script installed, or chkconfig enabled services)

Functions:
Update map list from map files in map directory
Change all options for server configs
For AMX/AdminMOD (with MySQL enabled) update admin users/bans/ips etc
Start/Stop/Restart Servers
Multiple users per server account
Realtime playerlist (using qstat)
Payment module for Paypal

Right now it will work that you game resellers will have an admin account and you will be able to setup panels for clients of yours, and they will be able to do all of the above. My pricing scheme was 20$ per gameserver panel per year or 10$ per panel at a minimum of 10 panels per year.

Am I going to waste my time developing this or is there any public interest?

*note mods, I don't know 100% where this goes so I'm dropping it here, feel free to move/delete it if it is not acceptable*

I"m interested, You may want to do a unlimited servers or something along those lines... with the packages.

[phaeton]

I may create a unlimited package if there is a demand for it.

Oh I didn't list it, but all HL mods will have support...

[KevinSyn]

interested, but there are a few out there already and they seem to be pretty buggy. If you can develope something like this that works well, then yes i'll be first on that list.

[Hostex Australia]

i'm sure there will be lots of interest, maybe try asking in gaming forums

Moved to other reviews.

[phaeton]

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm going to go full steam ahead on the project.

*Note* I am focusing less on realtime actions on servers through things like Rcon (although some will exist) because there are other programs out there designed to do that, and I do not want to bloat this app.

What platform is this for?
