KISSAdmin

[Levybreak]

KISSAdmin - Originally something I intended to keep to myself, I've decided to release this, in the hopes that less of the more bloated admin mods will be used when all the extra bloat (slap, ragdoll, explode, jail, etc.) isn't necessary for most servers.

It has 4 chat commands:

!KISShelp --Lists all chatcommands, and if used in conjunction with another command (ex !KISShelp !kill) will tell you it's usage.

!kill -- kills the specified user.

!kick -- kicks the specified user.

!ban -- bans the specified user.

It's other feature is the ability to add admins through it's data file in a simple format.
All you do is put a player's SteamID (you can see it my typing status in the console in multiplayer) into a text file labeled "KISSAdminList.txt" in your data folder. Just put 1 SteamID on each line.

I hope you'll find it useful and simple.

Can we get a screenshot/video of it in use? Or is it completely text?

[Levybreak]

It's completely text. No menus. It doesn't need one. Less is more. Simple is good. Lightweight.

I like this. A lot.

Mostly, the simplicity. However, I wonder if you could go further... as to implement a voteban, votekick, and votecleanup or something or other. As well as standard noclip commands.

Just a suggestion, and as you're going for simplicity, I guess you won't go for it. Worth a shot.

I must say, it is my belief that this, at least for now, is one of the best competitors to any other admin mod available.
I'm not saying it's the best (yes, I'm biased), but, it's a worthy competitor.

Have it import the default /settings/users.txt file so that you don't have to keep two files, and I believe you'd make it even more simple. Gmod already looks/tests tool usage using it's own file...why not this also?

I actually already have the vote commands working for one of my gamemodes, but I only added them out of necessity, as they are the only way for the players to change the map or clean it up. As for votekick and voteban, I do suppose it could help on sandbox servers where minging is a common theme. I am trying to keep this as light as possible, though.

Default GMod reads and adds admins based on that already, this is just a suppliament, it's also got a much esier syntax to understand, it's just

STEAM_0:1:7099
STEAM_0:1:30836

etc, etc, rather than

"Users"
{
	"superadmin"
	{
		"garry"			"STEAM_0:1:7099"
	}
	
	"admin"
	{
		"garry"			"STEAM_0:1:7099"
	}

}

Which is honestly just a standard lua table that's been serialized and saved.

Anyways, it reads both files for admins already, regardless, as this mod uses an "override" of the default admin system, simply adding it's own list of users as admins. You can place users in either file, I just think the simpler one is better.

Very, very simple... You might want a basic UI for it as well.

I'm also using this system for adding admins in FlapMin. Much neater and easier to understand and keep track of.

I rated you a rainbow.

Does it make people in the admin data file 'admin' or 'superadmin'?
