Remote Console v1.0 - Manage your server from any computer

Remote Console - Manage your server from any computer:
Version: v1.0

Remote Console is a Python application that uses JSONAPI to communicate with and control your Minecraft server.

Requires:
JSONAPI by Alec Gorge

Usage Instructions:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Remote Console is entirely text based so all interaction is in the form of commands, much like the minecraft chat itself. Commands are split into five categories:

• internal (local) - Commands that affect Minecraft Remote Console on your local computer
• connection - Commands that affect the connection between Minecraft Remote Console and JSONAPI
• JSONAPI - execute JSONAPI methods on the remote server
• Minecraft - executes minecraft console commands
• Chat - sends a chat message to the remote server

These categories are differentiated by a prefix character. Each category has exactly one unique prefix character, except for chat which is a catch-all category. The prefixes are:

• # - system commands
• : - JSONAPI commands
• / - Minecraft commands

For a complete listing of available commands and how to use them consult the help commands, which are unimaginatively named: #help, %help, :help and /help

Following is a quick session example that connects to a server, lists connected players through JSONAPI, giving the player an item through a Minecraft command, sending a chat message and disconnecting. User input is indicated by prefixing the line with a triple chevron ('>>>')

Code:

>>> #connect localhost 20059 admin demo ""

• Move cursor to end of line on command scrollback
• Add more awesome
• Document installation/use on Mac and Windows
• Add in app splash screen
• Get some screenshots of it in action
• Add comments to code for extra readability
• Update MinecraftAPI.py and demo site and push to Alec (JSONAPI)
• Add "guided" mode with full user friendly UI (may need help with designing the graphic assets here)
• Create a logo for the app.

Shout if you want me to add something to this list.

@Alec Gorge have you found the hidden command aliases yet? they aren't reported in the help screens but they will cut down on typing if you administer a lot of servers

 

What do you mean hidden command aliases?

Can you give an example?

 

They are in the source code in CommandHandlers.py

Mostly they take the form of shortening a command to its first one or two letters for faster typing.

For example %c means %connect

There are others. I didnt do any for the JSONAPI methods because i cant know what they are ahead of time.

The next version will allow you to define alias commands yourself, something that you cant do right now without editing source

 

Version 1.0 is out. no new major functionality released. This was mostly just a cleanup and reorganization to support the next release.

Note: Commands have changed. any '%' command is now a '#' command

Changelog:
Version 1.0

• Complete rewrite to improve maintainability
• Improve stability
• Remove 15 Kludge-o-ramas from the code
• Remove 'hidden' command aliases

Planned for 1.5:

• User defined aliases
• User created scripts for complex administration
• Proper documentation

 

How do you install it on Mac?

 

I'm sorry for being a noob, but I have no idea how to run this. I have the prerequisite mentioned above, can someone please help me?

 

How do you install?

 

How do I use this?
