1up Desktop Gadget/Widget Windows Beta Test

[Pyrite[1up]]

Flux41[1up] has developed a new desktop gadget/widget to monitor 1up servers. It sits on your desktop all day, is automatically refreshes our 1up server list, along with player information for each server. You can click on each server to see who is on the server, and also a Join button launches Urban Terror and takes you into the server.

This program uses Adobe AIR technology, and will run on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone. For now, this is our first beta test, and for Windows only (with the others to follow shortly).

Before installing this, you need to have Adobe AIR installed. AIR is similar to the Flash plugin we all have. Just visit http://get.adobe.com/air/ and get it for your system. Next, download/install the 1up Server Monitor, get it here.

Please post bug reports or problems in this thread.

LoL @ Cutty. EddieLee already tested this on Linux, see this thread.

Before we were going to distribute this as an ".air" file, the same file would be run on each OS the same. Now we are going to make separate binaries for each OS (exe for Windows, dmg for MacOSX, sh for Linux, apk for Android etc).

I think I have found this first bug today, it is so minor, not sure it is worth fixing. Has to do with Windows 7 feature of maximizing windows.

Btw, Shadow asked a good question. You do not need the Windows Sidebar to use this. This is an independent application, therefore the Sidebar that comes with Vista/7 is not required, and this should run fine on XP.

I just found bug #2 on Windows 7, again, probably not worth fixing, but just to document it:

When you can see the players in the game, I'd like to be able to click on that player name and view the current in-game stats and be able to see their overall stats retrieved from the 1up stat page.

LOL never mind, was not a bug

If any of you (Ron, Tesla, Zhalix, Sniper, etc) have any previous alpha versions installed, you will need to un-install them first via Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel. Secondly, you have to delete the Program Files folder for 1up Server Monitor, otherwise, the Installer posted above will complain about the application already being installed.

Hopefully the linux version will be out soon too, i dont get any 1up servers in my master server list, nor any of my usual servers for that matter, i have to manually add em to my favorites and even then i keep getting the bug that shows ips only and/or no servers at all -_-, i try the "cl_master "master.server.info" command and it says "cl_master" command doestn exists -_- hopefully this gadget will server as a workaround to the hideus UrT server menu -_-, specially when adding our own servers works.

In the old days when UrT was a mod for Quake3, you could delete a servercache.dat file or something like that to reset that. For you, if it still works like that, it would be in ~/.q3a/.

Also, you can always connect to any 1up server via its friendly name:

/connect fun.1upclan.info
/connect superts.1upclan.info
/connect superprivate.1upclan.info
/connect zombie.1upclan.info

etc

You might also try adding master.urbanterror.net to your /etc/hosts file (ping it to get the IP). It is a DNS pool that resolves to fs1.urbanterror.info and fs2.urbanterror.info.

I really like this gadget. A very nice item.

Although this is not a bug, I noticed that when I point at the gadget icon in my lower right window (next to the clock) and double click the icon the gadget does not come forward in front of other windows. The only option is "exit".

Ubuntu Linux Version can now be found here.

Tested on Ubuntu 10.10 32Bit.

If you have trouble with a bunch of black around the edge of the window i would suggest either use a compositing manager such as Compiz or just to go to the settings window and set "Linux Effects" to "Disable."
