looks good just don't forget to make sure to check if they are 2 access or higher to access the panel.

You only check access client-side. It'd mean players would be able to enter the menu, but of course not be able to actually "do" something because the options are protected (I hope). But an admin panel shouldn't be included in a player .exe anyway.

Joost making seperate exes is great when your making a big game and you have lots of admin only stuff and it will save lots of space, but for small mirage games its not a noticeable difference, and is kind of an inconvience to devving if you have to give all mods a separate client..

Components are evil. Don't use them when you don't need them. Over half the forms in ES were admin-related stuff, fucking waste of space.

QFT. In one of my edits I tried to reduce forms and components by combining editors into one form, and all the main menus. On the Menu form I used control arrays, which I've been told is better than bazillions of individual controls.
Control arrays don't exist. They're a figment of Microsoft's imagination.

You should have the server do the access check and the client open the panel if the server check has passed.

Re: [Add-On] Admin Panel - grimsk8ter11 - 10-08-2009
lul at Joost being the first to use one component in a server everzzzzz.
I was the first to use no contorls then cause im l337. Use windows to generate a console window, poll said window. Use a timer class instead of timers. It doesn't really matter in VB, it is all slow (death to VB!)
Joost is right saying have a little as possible though, it may save you something (if possible at all). I advise to try to live with 1 or two forms like essense or eyns and such. If you know how to, I would even suggest using DX for all of it. Forms add a good amount of bulk to executable files for some reason.
Re: [Add-On] Admin Panel - Doomy - 10-08-2009
lol programming it in dx should be really hard.
