Uhh... I know It took too long... Thats why I decided to release an unfinished version of E+ Server Config Editor. Its available here

http://stollo.frvclan.excessiveplus.net/editor/

It hasnt been tested much so far, so you better back up your configs before modifying them with this proggie. It also has a quick and dirty hack for handling conditionals in weapon's configs... Sorry, but I didnt invent a better way of handling them so far Sad
I will be happy if you give it a try and report the bugs you find here in this thread, so everyone could read the bug description before posting the bug more than once.
I finally hope that you will find this editor of any use Happy

-- EDIT 2 --

Location of editor's homepage changed - THX ADLER!!! Big grin

TODO list:
1. Checking twice if everything is working as it was meant to Winking
2. Making "info" for all the items in "Weapons Config" section just like it is in the other modules
3. Better way of handling conditional blocks is needed. For now these are written to the config file right after the given topic's variables as "User defined" block. This kinda sux because some variables are defined twice for that topic. First definition occurs before "User defined" block and then comes the conditional block. Generally it is ok, but it leads to increasing the size of cfg file. I think I should skip a variable definition in the topic body if that variable is defined somewhere in the conditional block later in that topic. Dunno...
4. Referring to some manual or asking e+ creators about types of variables in the "Weapon's Config". Like for example what range of values does the "Corpse Time" support? By default it is set to 5000, but what is the lower and higher bound? I assume that lower bound is 0, but there is still higher bound left unclear. You get what I mean? I tried to ask e+ team via PM, but so far didnt get any answer.
5. Adding a possibility to edit MOTD files with live preview just the same way the server name is edited.
6. Maybe rewriting the prog to work with .NET Framework 1.0? Many ppl didnt update .NET Framework to version 1.1 - the prog will not work for them Sad

After all the abovementioned issues editor is fully functional.

here are some bugs or ideas that could be change

general:
- no minimise to taskbar (the program is always on top)

server setup:
- no MOTD ... a new window open like by rotation config
- how to enable "allow vote" ?
- if i choose "rotation, weapon cfg" and say save config the program should copy and save this files too
- serverinfo: who is admin, where i can get him, any url with this commands (sets Administrator "" sets Email "" sets URL "")
- -> bots / costum ... i miss how much bots, and which strength

weapon setup:
- -> misc2 -> armor system -> yellow ... i can change the quality number

rotation setup:
- can't save the rotaion.txt .... get error (this file do not exists)

ideas and suggestions

- PB enable and maybe some pb options (pb_sv_enable, pb_sv_guidrelax 7)
- g_teamforcebalance would be great as a choise
- command g_motd - show some infos at join server ... like (set g_motd "^2Welcome To FFA Server have fun and enjoy"

once more!! correct me plz if i'm wrong
at the end of the "server config" the line

map test_bigbox

must be added ... or the server dont start!

best regards and good job stollo

Ehum... any map would do the trick?

Very nice Stollo Happy
Though, to save rotation with any filname would be great Happy
Fx, CTF-maps is not so good in 1on1 rail only.. mabe ... or mabe it is Happy

Great work Adler and Iz! Ill correct these errors today and put corrected version on the server in the evening along with changes.log

- voting will not be enabled now... - i dont know all the commands that can be voted on Sad If you know it, please PM it to me
- bots... Ive heard that bots can be customised by bots.txt :roll: I dont have a faint idea if it works in e+ 1.01 or higher version (which is not released yet). The man doesnt say a word about bots.txt - I think Ill wait till this things clears and make a bots.txt editor Big grin
- misc2 -> armor system -> yellow: this should be editable with System "Regular VQ3 System" because you always wear a yellow armor (according to manual), but Ive noticed that the numbers have one decimal digit instead of two Big grin - that will be corrected
- any optional commands and variable definitions can be set via custom vars textbox on the "Bots & Custom vars" tab - I think I add a context menu there to choose some predefined variables that you can add Happy

Thx for testing - great work m8s!!!
