Hey guys! Haven't been on here in a while.. Homework and all. tongue

So, I've been learning Java lately, but it might take a while for me to be able to write useful code in it. So, I present to you, my latest creation in batch.. BukkitInABox! It's only for Windows, but it comes with many great features such as automatic world backups, log management, automated setup, and automatic server updates. It also looks cool. These are batch files, so of course they're open source. Feel free to improve and redistribute these, just don't do anything malicious with them! And don't redistribute them under my name.

Downloads:

BukkitInABox Importer - Turns your current Minecraft server into an easy-to-use BukkitInABox Server. Still in beta.

BukkitInABox Setup Utility - Sets up a new vanilla or bukkit Minecraft server.

WARNING: Please remember to back up your server files before using the importer!

EDIT 3/12/13 11:57 PM EST: Fixed a typo.
EDIT 3/13/13 12:01 AM EST: Added warning.

This looks cool. I definitely will try it when I get to my laptop.

What's the advantage over regular bukkit?

- It's easier to set up and use
- It automatically backs up your worlds
- It splits up logs, so you don't have to sift through one giant log file
- I'm working on getting automatic updates fixed. tongue

Is it a plugin?

Because everything you've listed already exists in plugin forms, and Bukkit itself is easy to set up.

No, it's more like a setup utility for bukkit. And i haven't been able to find an easy to use log management plugin anywhere. Besides, this can download and configure everything for you. tongue

Here's a challenge for you: Make a plugin download for it that will download the plugin and unzip (if necessary) into the plugins folder. Then you can type in the name of the plugin you want to download. This might be a bit advanced for batch though.

It's funny, that's a feature I was working on!

Really? Are you using an external program with your batch file to download files and stuff? I was making an OS in batch once that used SQLite for user accounts. It took my hours to figure out how to store information from the database into a variable. tongue I can't really work on the OS anymore because I mainly use a Mac now.

Yeah, I'm using a wget exe to handle file downloads.

Good to see you back wave. Any thoughts of maybe adding a gui?

A menu using keyboard input such as 0-9 or A-Z to select menu items would be a good idea!

Actually, I intend to do something very similar when I get plugin packs and automatic plugin updates implemented. And hey, sep! Haven't seen you in ages! big_smile
