    Would you like to be able to create customized admin commands composed of multiple admin commands?

    I was recently thinking about how nice it would be if you could create custom admin commands composed of multiple other existing commands on a server.

    It seems like this could be easily arranged through something similar to the ability to set up bulk import/export of sectors. There could be a text file with some simple directions to set up a name for the command followed by the list of commands that would be run.

    Example:
    mybatchcommand{
    /spawn_mobs catalogcapitalship -1 1
    /spawn_mobs catalogdestroyer -1 3
    /spawn_mobs catalogfighter -1 20
    /initiate_wave 5 60
    }

    This could allow an admin to stage a cool event for players on the server by simply typing "/custombatch mybatchcommand". This would then spawn in a capital ship from the server catalog along with 3 destroyers and 20 fighters as escort... to be followed a minute later with an additional wave of enemy ships ;)


    This, of course, could be used to pre-set up any litany of available admin commands for other purposes as well :)


    Let me know what you think.

    Already possible, sorta. The no GUI version of starnet(dig around the old site) lets you send commands to the server remotely using a batch file.

    I'd like an ingame command for activation, (not to mention vanilla batch command support, the main point of the suggestion) but yes...

    @therimmer96 I had searched around a little while without any luck - I'll have to check out the Starnet software you mentioned

    @Ithirahad I agree - It just seems like it would be useful to have something like this built into the vanilla version of Starmade in general and probably would be fairly easy to addition to the existing code (I'm not a programmer, so I do realize that's a fairly dangerous assumption to make on my part :D )

    isn't it called Starmote? At least in the code it is :confused:
    starmote is built into starmade.jar, starnet is its own jar. its what the super admin password is about in the config
