--------------------------------------

This program admins your Tribes server via a telnet connection.  So you MUST have the telnet portion enabled in the tribes server config file.   Put something similar to the following lines in the config.cs file (don't forget the semicolons!):

$TelnetPort=2000;
$TelnetPassword="pass";

On the login screen, enter the IP address of the server, then the port number (2000 if you used the lines above), and then the password (pass if you used the lines above).

Here are some of the features:
- To update the players list, server information, or mission list just click on the text in the bar above the box.
- Pausing the server console no longer loses the lines that came into the console while paused.  It now buffers the lines and displays them when the pause check box is unchecked.
- TCP/IP routines have been updated.  It should be more stable.  Occasionally you will get a login failed, just exit the program and rerun.
- If you are disconnected from the server, click on the RECONNECT label at the upper left of the window.
- The server console window will automatically scroll to the bottom text in the window.  To stop the scrolling click the pause check box.
- The MOTD field is now a window that supports formatting options.  The text will be formatted when the players view it from within tribes, but not when you view it in the window.  You can also save different MOTD's.
- There are now alerts that can be played when certain text is read in the console.  It is NOT case sensitive.  I normally have the alert when "admin" or "console" is read in the server console, so I know they want the admins attention.  Other suggestions are "tk" or "lag".  A wav file is played to alert the admin.
- All the network settings (packet size, packet rate, and telnet keep alive time) are accessible vie the NET icon between player limit and server log on the main window.
- The message center is used for displaying global messages, individual messages, and kick/ban messages.  Individual (selected button) messages are only sent to a clients message window.  They are NOT sent to the bottom/center/top of their screen...it is not a tribes option.

There are many more features to be added, such as:

- Ban List Editing

- Player listing by team names
- Mission categorizing
- Mission load order (like specify what mission will load next)
- Processor and Bandwidth monitoring (also on-the-fly auto packet size/rate optimization)
- Giving players admin rights from the player list
