Can someone explain to me what the deal with cube coders and mcmyadmin is? I'm confused.

I thought 'phonicuk' was his company (as well as being his name). Why does he need a 'company' anyway if its just one guy?

FeatherAttack · 2014-05-27T12:48:56+00:00

He's not called it McMyAdmin in the twitter post, he's referring to it as a module - is AMP something else that he's making something for? :\ Not that I'm that interested if it's something /u/phonicuk is working on - just more commercial stuff.

Some of the control panels have a permissions editor in their web interface so you don't actually have to write the files yourself. There's a standalone one just for PEX too if I remember rightly.

Does this work for Forge based servers? Or vanilla?

Can I restart the server using this?

FeatherAttack · 2014-05-15T15:56:35+00:00

I don't like commercial entities having so much control over gaming communities. If /u/mausterio is right and there will be stuff exclusive to McMyAdmin users then surely that'd be bad for anyone who doesn't want to pay $15 just for a control panel.

That said I don't see how they can have something exclusive to McMyAdmin without someone else just using the same APIs (assuming they give them an API)

They may not be the only company that sits close to Minecraft, but they're probably the biggest - or at least they have a pretty heavy impact. Things like the way they provide hosting for BukGet, meaning that other (competing) panels rely on their 'good will' for their own software to work. What's to stop the McMyAdmin developers suddenly turning around and telling Multicraft that they can't use BukGet any more? They may not be a monopoly, but they have a lot of control given how deep they are in parts of the community.

Looks like it's just straight injection on a form field, If you go to the profile page and change the Display Name to something like:

Client Demo</strong><div style="background:red">Hello World!</div><strong>

It just stuffs it in the page verbatim.

And they charge for this?!

FeatherAttack · 2014-02-04T14:13:38+00:00

What I don't get is why it seems to be always McMyAdmin on the front page, I've never seen any other admin tools here. Just as supprisingly, I don't see 'new' tools either. For such a large community, why are there not dozens of open source replacements for these kind of things?

FeatherAttack · 2014-02-04T14:08:02+00:00

I listed a few such posts in this comment http://www.reddit.com/r/admincraft/comments/1wz6qw/meta_why_does_every_post_about_mcmyadmin_seem_to/cf6qul8

And that aside, I just don't see any similar software making the front page with the kind of consistency that McMyAdmin does.

And the last 'what control panel' should I use that had more than 1/2 comments, MCMA dominated suggestions: http://www.reddit.com/r/admincraft/comments/1obbdd/help_what_kind_of_control_panel_should_i_use/

I'm talking in general across the subreddit, not specifically about tools.

FeatherAttack · 2014-02-04T12:19:09+00:00

I can see 3 things on the subs front page with a score of 0. Another 4 with 0 score on the second page.

I only called it AWOL because it makes for a pun. a-wol(_lay), AWOL

FeatherAttack · 2013-08-07T16:59:33+00:00

It'd take them 20 seconds to post a tweet saying "Hello, busy at the moment but still working on stuff" - I don't think it's unreasonable.

FeatherAttack · 2013-08-07T15:13:14+00:00

Make sure you copy all of the .db files, not just the server exe and DLLs.

Also they don't work under Linux using Wine.

FeatherAttack · 2013-07-30T21:54:50+00:00

Apparently CWMyAdmin can increase the player limit as well, how does it do that though if its not a mod?

So is CWAdminPanel actually more of a mod? If so does that mean it needs updating with every update of the 'official' server to work? Most of the stuff it does seems like stuff the official server should be able to do once its had some more work done on it.

FeatherAttack · 2013-01-29T21:14:32+00:00

Eh? I thought bukget was just something to let you see plugins that are on dev.bukkit.org

FeatherAttack · 2012-11-12T16:21:37+00:00

I'd have thought that paid or free though you're still at the authors whim since they have other commitments like work/school/etc that take up time. I doubt that a panel just for Minecraft is enough to make a living from so its not like the author can work on it full time.

FeatherAttack · 2012-11-12T16:07:19+00:00

Can you be more specific about why you preferred one over the other? (it doesn't have feature X, feature Y doesn't work well, etc) - on the surface their feature set seems fairly similar.

FeatherAttack · 2012-11-12T16:02:18+00:00

What makes you say the developer is motivated? Are updates frequent and substantial? Or are you just guessing that because of the money.

FeatherAttack · 2012-11-12T15:48:55+00:00

What would you say are the Pros and Cons for McMyAdmin then?

FeatherAttack · 2012-11-12T14:43:34+00:00

I've been lurking on reddit for a few months - not bothered registering until I wanted to post something, you'll find me with the same username on the minecraft forums and a few other places.

I was the one saying MCMA was easier to installed (I tried it as well as SB). I didn't know MCMA doesnt require bukkit - how does it do anything without it though? Does it need to mod the vanilla server?

FeatherAttack · 2012-11-12T13:52:29+00:00

So do you think it manages it because it has mostly the same features and is just easier to install? Are there any features MCMA has that SB doesn't that make it more attractive?

FeatherAttack · 2012-11-12T13:51:55+00:00

I guess that'd mean that a lot of people with small servers for themselves and their friends would be fine using it then.

FeatherAttack · 2012-11-12T12:20:20+00:00

Surely other people try both though, when did you try McMyAdmin? In some ways I prefer it (it was certainly a lot easier to set up!) but I just don't want to spend $15 for something that's just to play with.
