OFP Watch Server

Only game server administrators are concerned but Certa released a new Auto-Addon Server version 1.26 for Win and Linux (also called OFP Watch Server) on his site. It’s used to simplify addon managing on servers (well known problem by MP gamers).

The new server doesn’t have to download every single package when the server admin wants to add or update something. This has so far been the greatest hassle with the server. Information about packages are now cached in between updates. The admin gets to choose what packages the addon server should resynchronize with some simple yes and no questions upon startup. Attachment: This is not a very graphical applicaion and the screenshot I provide doesn’t look very exciting. However, for people running the server this picture will describe the new feature quite well.
