[idea] Warnings before closing server. - RunUO

Icelollo · 10-12-2003, 06:32 PM

When in game, upon selecting to close or restart the server, and also when Xing out the main console, it just closes. I see this as a hazard, it is very easy to accednetly close/restart the server. I reccomend in the next verion(s) of RUNUO, it be reprogramed to prompt you to confirm you want to really close or restart the server.

... thats stupid you have to press the button to restart if you dont then dont click it...

Icelollo · 10-12-2003, 06:35 PM

Think you missed the main idea. Basiclly, upon choosing to exit or restart the server, it will ask you, Are you sure you want to exit/restart server? This will virtually eliminate accedently shutting down or restarting your server.

Make RunUo more liek Micro$oft?

*clicks close and save and shutdown*

*message pops up* <Are you shure you want to do this?>

*clicks yes*

*another message* <are you absolutly sure?>

*clicks 'could be' from the choices of -no- -yes- -could be- and -im too drunk to tell-*

*ANOTHER message* <Ok well this is tha LAST time I'm gonna ask this: Are you SURE you want to do this?>

*clicks yes*

App closes....

LoL... Well even with 5 confirm exit messages, its better than accedently closing the server during a critical moment. But, we dont need 5 confirm exit messages... just 1... Dont you just hate it when you goto minimise and accedently hit X?

So everyone knows this is scriptable.

Icelollo · 10-17-2003, 06:39 PM

I didnt... but none-the-less, it would be nice as a built in feature... How do i script this?

UD · 10-17-2003, 09:52 PM

i dont see how this would be 'scriptable' considering its a window in the OS nothing to do with a runuo script...

If I can add a taskbar, I can add a method to call a windows gump when the application closes.

Trust me, I am 90% sure this scriptable. Actually even more then that, as i know its an event I can call.

Personaly i just cant believe someone is still running server in console mode? :shock:

Phantom · 10-18-2003, 12:53 AM

How else do you suggest they use it?

Frontend isn't the most stable solution.

sh1ny · 10-18-2003, 01:19 AM

im running it in console also....
not much use to run it as a service since if it crashes while saving it wont do me any good :P

**David** · 10-18-2003, 01:43 AM

So exactly what about Frontend is unstable? I've been using it since it became available with no problems at all. And yes, crashing during a save is a bad thing, but again what does that have to do with weither or not the service or console is being used?
