I suck at technical writing but here we go...
The bottom area is a series of tabs.
* Server List
o Load and Save data to the server list file.
o Buttons to Start and Stop server monitoring.
o Controls to sort the server list by IP Address or Nick Name.
* Get Status
o Data Grid displaying the current server's cvars/values.
o Controls to sort by cvar or value.
o Control to pause updates or filter for color codes to the grids data.
o A fancy way to view the "getstatus" command.
* Status
o Data Grid displaying the current players and information about them.
o Controls to sort by Slot, Name, or IP Address.
o Control to pause update or filter for color codes
o Displays the player's full name, not just the first 15 characters like the normal "status" command.
o Context Menu (Right-Click Commands):
* Get Player Info (rcon dumpuser). This command will not work on player names that contain spaces.
* Force To Team. This command will force the selected player to join any of the four teams (play, spectator, blue, and red).
* Warnings. Custom set of chained commands that are helpful in dealing with players who are causing trouble.
* 1st Offense: Verbal Warning.
* 2nd Offense: Verbal warning and a trip to spectator.
* 3rd Offense: Verbal warning, a trip to spectator, and a kick.
* 4th Offense: Verbal warning, a trip to spectator, a ban, and a kick (doing the ban first prevents reconnects).
* Say to Player. Basic svsay with the selected player's name.
* Kick Player. Just plain handy. Right-click and kick.
* Ban IP Address. Right-Click and ban.
* Ban IP Address and Kick. Right click, ban, and kick.
* UnBan IP Address. To be fair...sometimes an admin MIGHT make an error.
* RCON Console
o Send commands and receive data.
o The "Send Command" button will fade out when the program is busy.
o Control to filter for color codes.
