In the last few days I messed up badly. I played with the trust of my users, I abused it to be precise.
So what did I do?
I integrated a feature into MCAdmin which made me unkickable and unbannable.
Also I made a feature which could set my level to admin level.
And the last thing was I could remotely disable any server from running MCAdmin
Now why would I do that?
Well, the first feature was made because some admins kicked me thinking I was a hacker (because of my [Dev] tag).
The second feature I integrated to help admins of servers, so I can show them around the commands, and how they work with MCAdmin and resolve issues right on-the-server.
And for the last thing, I don't know why I did it, I had the idea of some servers harming the community or something.
So, what now?
Well, the features are all removed already. I cannot remotely shutdown your server nor am I any kind of special.
Now all I can do is saying sorry. I never thought people would call this abusive, I would have never abused it.
But I understand people might think like that.
So what's with that guy (Bradster) whos server you disabled because of disliking him?
I disabled his server after he insulted me, not because I dislike him. You have to see, at that time, one guy ont he server insulted me (a guest) so I said "shut up". This got me banned, Then I reconnected because I got unbanned just to be yelled at how I should not decide how I am running my admin mod or not. Thus I disabled his server.
This was not right and all I can do is saying I am sorry for that, too. I overreacted.
But what's the "Developer mode" about now?
Well, now it prompts you to accept my request for "developer mode", this will grant me all rights. If you do not wish that, you can just click "no" on the box and nothing will happen.
!sethome and custom teleportation (aside from teleporting players to players or the default homepoint) is NOT possible with how MCAdmin was made. Incase anyone wants to help me with making a JAVA<->C# interface for Minecraft alpha to allow stuff like this, drop me a PM (help me gettng through the obfuscation, heh)!
[*:zf789cf6]Console-only support Just launch it with console as a start parameter (compatible to the other start parameters of course!)
[*:zf789cf6]Changeable welcome, motd and rules message with color and variable support!
[*:zf789cf6]Custom ranks, with tags/colors and names!
[*:zf789cf6]Optional: Servers can be watched AND administrated in HLSW! (RCon support)
[*:zf789cf6]Players can be assigned to ranks either via the GUI or via chat commands (!setrank)
[*:zf789cf6]MCAdmin acts like a tunnel for all clients, thus able to block hax/exploits before they reach the server (currently names with invalid chars)
[*:zf789cf6]Current chat commands: http://mcadmin.eu/Chat_commands
[*:zf789cf6]Automatic update-checker for minecraft_server.jar as well as MCAdmin itself
[*:zf789cf6]!give supports giving items by names (i.e. !give cobblestone)
[*:zf789cf6] IP rangebans (just ban 192.168.0. will ban 192.168.0.XXX, make sure your IP-ban ends with a dot, to make it detected as a rangeban)
[*:zf789cf6] Changeable block rank limits (selectable: either whitelist or blacklist mode!)
[*:zf789cf6]Automatic updates disableable by command line siwtches (noupdate for turning it off fully, nojarupdate for not updating the JAR [needed for llamacraft etc], noexeupdate for not updating MCAdmin itself)
[*:zf789cf6]Map autobackup (only when players have been on since last backup!)
If you want to use llamacraft you need to start it with the command line paramater "noupdate" else it will think your server jar is outdated and try to update it.
Currently I am experiencing a bug where my crafted chat messages crash some clients, I don't know exactly why they crash and most others don't.
If you want to help me test: Connect to you own server, do !who.
Send me if you crash or not and what OS you run.
Would it be possible to add a motd tool and commands for admin only like noclip not to abuse but to just overview and watch the server with a close eye to see what everybody is doing. I'm sure if its not a server run by somebody who would abuse it, it would be a good command.
[Edit] Sometimes when people in my server type !who or !kit it gives them and error and makes them quit.
2010-08-10 16:29:32 [INFO] bread256 lost connection: Internal exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error
I also noticed if you have alot of kits and you type !kit the top row of text is in color but then the rest turns white and sorta breaks up i can link a screenshot if needed
My current problem is I don't know the Server->Client packet sizes/structure 100%.
I would appreciate if anyone could complete and/or fix http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Alpha_Packet_Protocol. That would make my work lots easier.

Look great but it sticks at 95% when I start it up. Any ideas as to why?
I get the same problem. I am able to log on to the server, but none of the commands work, and the server status is still "starting".
Do you see any black messages like "2010-08-11 16:54:41 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version 0.1.0" or "2010-08-11 16:54:41 [INFO] Loading properties" or do you see them in grey?
Also, i pushed another update, link again in first post, this should now fix the "bad packet id" issues for real.
Can you put in the timed restart, it was one of the best features
What exactly do you mean with timed restart?
As in, just restart MCAdmin, or reset the map?
Also, pushed new update (in first post).
Now, only advbuilders and up can spawn TNT, lava and make fire (water can only be spawned by builders and up).
Also, furnaces work now :smile.gif:

I have windows 7 32bit
MOTD would be not a too big problem.
Noclip/fly is mainly a clientside modification (the normal client just cannot fly, even if the server allows it).
I would appreciate if anyone could complete and/or fix http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Alpha_Packet_Protocol. That would make my work lots easier.
