[ADMN] Mobile Admin for Minecraft (Android) v3.2.8 [1.4.7-R1.0]

Mobile Admin for Minecraft (Android Client + Plugin):
Version: v3.2.5
Client Version: v3.2.7

Mobile Admin for Minecraft allows you to administer common server properties, users, plugins and even chat right from your Android phone! Mobile Admin consists of two parts: a plugin (server) and an Android application (client). The server requires a username and password to connect which are specified in MobileAdmin.properties (stored in plugins folder).

Current Versions:

• Client - 3.2.8 (Requires server 3.2.3)
• Server - 3.2.5 (Requires client 3.2.3+)

DevBukkit:
Mobile Admin for Minecraft also had a DevBukkit page.
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/minecraft-mobile-admin/

Free vs Paid:
In the spirit of Bukkit and its licensing, the free version of the client supports (and will continue to support) native Bukkit commands and API calls. The client and plugin are provided completely free without advertising support. I will continue to add features where I see a place and purpose for them and as Bukkit adds more features.

The paid version of the client adds real-time server chat functionality and third party plugin support (which IMHO is outside the scope of free Bukkit support and helps me maintain this project, servers, time spent, etc...)

PayPal and Non-US Users
No Credit Card? No Android Market Support? No problem! Mobile Admin for Minecraft is also available via the SlideME third party Android market via the following link: Mobile Admin for Minecraft | SlideME

If there would only be the option to pay with PayPal or something like that on the Android Market...
But from the free version I can say this is just perfect!
Running without problems on 689! Thanks

EDIT @mkaltner : Maybe you could checkout AndroidPIT? An alternative market which allows to pay with PayPal or Click&Buy. There are even some more guys who already wrote a comment on your app, that they would like to buy if they could with PayPal.

 

getting my new android phone wednesday, this will be the first app i download

 

It would be cool if there was an iPhone version of this plugin. I dont have an andrioid phone, but i would LOVE to be able to do this from my iPod Touch.

 

Tested with bukkit 716. Almost everything works, though I get the following error when I issue console commands:

Code:

03:31:34 [SEVERE] Exception in thread "ServerThread"
03:31:34 [SEVERE] java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: g
03:31:34 [SEVERE] 	at net.kaltner.MobileAdmin.ServerThread.consoleCommand(ServerThread.java:1041)
03:31:34 [SEVERE] 	at net.kaltner.MobileAdmin.ServerThread.run(ServerThread.java:895)
>

Also, disabling any plugin will disable MMA instead. Other than that, everything else works (kicking, messaging, giving items, chatting, changing time, and reloading).

 

Toasty, are you using the free version? I had the exact same issue but it was fixed when I bought the paid version. The Dev is looking into it.

 

why a .?

 

Lol. Oops I was just trying to watch this thread.

 

Does this for the Paid version for me.. :/

 

if you pay the 100 dollars for getting on the app store

 

Interesting...what command are you trying to send? Or is it all of them? Give me examples and I will try them. What phone are you using?

 

You mean the $2.99? >.>

All of them...
Examples:
stop
say cheese

I'm on the Droid2.

 

no, to place apps on the app store, you need to get in the developer program
that costs 100 dollars

 

Ha. Now mine is doing it again. Wont send it. Shows loading symbol but wont load then when I press home key it force closes.

Dev- assistance?

 

A suggestion for the client - can you have a list of either recent commands, or the ability to create a list of commands you frequently use? I use the free version, so I don't know if it's in the paid one...

 

Then what does this have to do with me...

 

Wow, so many messages built up, sorry about that.
I hadn't received any emails from the Bukkit forum that there were new posts.
Getting to some responses shortly.

Not sure why authentication would fail sometimes and not every time.
It almost seems like a possible timeout issue.
Does it seems slow to respond? Like 10+ seconds?
Also, please PM me some details so that I can look further into it.
Server, port and if you're comfortable, username and password.

I'm currently in talks with a developer to provide a free, third party iOS client.
Will keep everyone posted as I have news to share.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

you want it

 

Yes... and I bought it from the Marketplace for $2.99.
GG, try again.

 

Please PM me some details so that I can look further into it.
Server, port and if you're comfortable, username and password.

Thanks for your support!

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into alternate markets.
My concern is if they support all countries, not just the US (like the Amazon appstore)

Congrats and thanks for the support!

See my previous post about working with an iOS developer currently.

Thanks for looking into it.
Unfortunately, fixing the console command, which is used by several MMA commands, will be the most difficult to fix.
There's no Bukkit API for it so I had to find a way to call into the packaged Minecraft Server itself (actually, found how to do it via someone else's post).
Hopefully won't take me too long to figure out.

This is likely related to the 1.5 update, not free vs paid as it's the same code in the client and the same code in the plugin.
I'll be looking into it for the 1.5 update.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Sweet, I just tested out the free version for a few mins, found the console command error just like a few posts up.
but everything else appears to work!

So I just purchased the full version for chat..
Just a quick question, is each message counted as like a text msg? = $ per msg? or is it just open like skype etc??

 

Thanks for your support.
I'm a bit baffled by the console command issue as I just installed a clean version of the 2.4.1 plugin and the free market version of MMA, no console errors on my end using RB684.

Also, I'm not sure I understand your question regarding the chat messages.
If you purchased the paid version, you get the chat function. Period.

 

What server version are you running?

@ koguchi It is not a text message that is sent to the server, so no on the text message rate. It uses data plan, either wifi or mobile data, but I doubt it will ever use any amount of data worth tracking.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

733, which as the dev said is probably why it doesn't work.

 

Plugin version 2.4.2 has been uploaded.
Here's the change log:

• Updated plugin to work with latest Recommended Build (733) by using a more standard approach to calling console commands.
• Updated enable/disable plugin logging to show proper plugin name.
• Updated enable plugin command to parse the plugin name correctly.
• Updated load plugin command to properly find the file/plugin.

 

I am using RB700, no worries re: support, thanks for a great app! I was looking for one the other day and could not find anything worth while, then I saw this thread, stoaked with it

Thats the answer I was looking for, cheers

 

I want this for the iphone lol hows it coming?

 

Pleas make it for Windows Mobile 7!

 

Glad to see it's working for bukkit 733 now.

Found out something interesting though: The colors must not be mapped properly, because if you set the color of MMA's text in the config file to 'f', it gives you the same value as 'd' (i.e. magenta/pink). So far, I can confirm the following:

f = magenta
e = yellow
d = magenta
c = red
b = cyan
a = light green
9 = purple/dark magenta
8 = dark gray
7 = light gray
6 = gold
5 = magenta
4 = light red/salmon
3 = light blue
2 = green/dark green
1 = blue/dark blue
0 = black

I found this out as I was trying to make the text dark cyan in color. Coincidentally, that happened to be one of the two colors left out (both dark cyan and white are absent form that list). :P

 

Thanks, I'll double check the color codes.

 

Scandinavian chars like ö. ä and å (and probably all other umlauts/accents) are displayed incorrectly in chat in Minecraft Mobile Admin 2.4 (as ? in diamond shape) and not printed at all in game.
Using git-Bukkit-0.0.0-703-g17e1652 (MC: 1.5_02) and 2.4.2 of Mobile Admin

EDIT: actually, only umlauts/accents sent from the android app are displayed incorrectly/dropped in game. Everything people type ingame chat shows up just fine.
