Your server, your way.

Vector is a server modification for Barotrauma that extends your server's capability in moderation and uniqueness. With Vector you can customize your server the way you want.


Features:
  • AutoMod - Give griefers a surprise, or have it assist you in administration. Sabotage actions can either be notified in game chat, notify admins in game, or log. Kick or autoban thresholds can also be an option. AutoMod can work alongside the karma system and is compatible with traitors.
  • Join Message - Have a message box or chat message directed to the player when they join welcoming them to the server.
  • Round Start Messages - Have messages sent to all players when the round starts.
  • Remote Admin Support - With Vector's on-server API, you are able to submit commands to your server remotely. Broadcast, kick, ban, PM, etc.
  • Chat Commands - Use chat commands like /kick, /broadcast, /pm, /endround, /report (remote required), /sub, /server, and more for admins and players.
  • Admin Chat Channel - Chat with other admins only using a; or admin;
  • Quick Setup - Run the installer or download the .zip, specify install directory, configure settings, launch the dedicated server, done.
  • Ban Extensions - Have a player see ban reasons and expiry dates instead of "You are banned from the server." You can also customize it to include an appeal link or similar.
  • Family Sharing Limitations - Don't want players using family sharing to enter your servers? That works. This feature requires opting into Vector's Atlas system.
  • Vector Atlas - Atlas is a central system for Vector that allows for family sharing detection and global banlist functionality.
Vector is highly configurable by design. Want a RP-intensive server without AutoMod or gimmicks? No problem! Want a serious server with no griefing? Sure.

 Very nice work database - one can certainly can see server host's wanting to make use of this.

Not tested it (As I am neither hosting, playing or doing anything related to Barotrauma right now) but clearly you've been hard at work.
We actually used your mod as an inspiration and actually did port some functions of it over to the Steam version, so credit where credit is due on that. Our eventual goal is to also expand in the client area like you did, but for now we're continuing to experiment with what's possible with the server. Thanks :D

Use whatever you can salvage from it in any capacity you fancy if it's of any use code/logic wise, I hope someday to remake my own mod myself and contribute to baro once again. But i'm hoping to have a job and stable income / life and such before that.

I don't care for any credit inspiration or otherwise, I just love to see nice things made that everyone can use and improves any modding / hosting community. : >

Vector updated for v0.9.4.0:

Here's what we've implemented since this thread.

Code: Select all

-Optimized some core functions. Vector should use less resources when running your server.
-Improved performance for some servers with limited resources.
-Added 32-bit (x86) support
-Improved the security (TLS version) of communicating with Atlas.
Roadmap:

Code: Select all

-Linux Support
We're wrapping up Linux support, we're currently making Atlas fully compatible with Linux so you're able to host your dedicated servers efficiently.

-SteamP2P Support/Vector Client
We're also glad to announce that down the line, you will be able to host your Vector server using SteamP2P! You'll be able to do this through Vector's upcoming custom client. This client will be made on the intention of hosting Vector servers using Steam's networking and not as an actual client. As such, we may disable multiplayer functions to disallow any mismatches, crashes, or exploits.
Windows Defender notice: Sometimes, Vector can trip Windows Defender. Rest assured this is a false positive and we submit any false positives to Microsoft. This has been rectified in this build in Defender definition 1.305.576.0. You can verify your Vector installation is legitimate by checking the digital signatures of the file:
