None of the links work now?

source: attached this post, C# Win32. I'm not used to win32 (mostly write in .net core and linux), so it may be a bit non-idiomatic.

Routes

Current version provides this routes:
GET /api/whos-online
POST /api/world-reload
POST /api/world-save

Next version will have ability for a lagging/timed out client to request their own client be kicked with a delay (so they can't use it to cheating PK). So they do not have to wait for the winsock timeout.

I use this for automatically triggering world reloads when new inis are updated, and for pulling player counts and online users into a time series database by polling the endpoint.

Instruction
Run AFTER starting the rpgwo server, or it will tell you it can't find the server window and exit.
Optionally, run in ip and port as arguments ("Caretaker.exe 127.0.0.1 6000" to bind webserver in localhost port 6000).

Example

Be realistic. If everyone said "Late Aug" would people see a high quality server? If the answer is no, then just go about working on stuff. Tease things. Show stuff off. Join discord and discuss. Be prepared for the nay sayers and the occasional guy that comes around after building a decent-ish server years ago to tell you it's garbage. Just put time and effort and you'll get the players that are still around. Bonus points for creating tools that in the end make the experience different as well. I don't think anyone's used it yet, but there's a mining map generator and that would make for a different experience for pretty much everyone.

This is more so I can timebox myself by force. I have problem with going "oh, I will add another thing I guess" and never finish and keep moving goalpost if I don't have a set time. It makes me go into loop thinking I have a few more days til launch so why not add another town.

I don't have much to tease due to that every one here has played modern before.

For tools , I plan to release a web site rpgwo CMS, and bunch of event scripts, for open source use. And some tools for manage and automatic mixing plants/alchemy. Because of how bad and incompatible the existing modern files, I end up also making tooling to import all INI into PostgreSQL database, then be able to export it back out into INI form, to allow for one line changes like "raise all 1H weapon with range below 4 by 1 damage" or "make all SuccessMsg equivalent to 'You create {SuccessItemQty} {SuccessItemName}.'" commands.

I've already sent the  cleaned up working V2 ARC INI (for the sake of archival, typo fix, item fix, etc - but no skill, stat, alch, etc. modification) to others.

The hell kind of question is this? Get it ready, set a launch date and hype it up.

Thank's
