Apelsin - a server and clan browser [1.1-2 released]

[Cadynum]

Apelsin
Apelsin is a two-paned, open source, server- and clan browser. It shows servers and players from both 1.1 and GPP at the same time.
The primary design goal was to make a fast, elegant and responsive program. Refreshing all servers should take about 1-2 seconds depending on your Internet connection.
Apelsin, and the underlying polling library,  is written from scratch in Haskell.
License: GPL3


Features
Server browser [screenshot]
You can sort and filter by mod, name, map, ping and players.
The filtering algorithm is fuzzy. "gpp niveus" would show all gpp servers with niveus on.
The - operator excludes: "-atcs 1.1" would show all 1.1 servers not playing atcs.

Find players
Fuzzy filtering like above, but matches on player name, game and mod.

Online clans
Displays online clan members, much like the discontinued clans.tremulous.net.

Clan list
A list of all known Tremulous clans, and their servers.
The list is generated dynamically from the ddos river-tam database.
Is your clan missing or the information outdated? Send a mail to clans@ddos-tremulous.eu or poke a ddos member in irc: ##ddos @ irc.freenode.net

Customizable
Change the color theme, set default filters and set a couple of other preferences.
You can change the ratio between the panes by dragging the handle in the middle. This, like the window size, will be remembered on application exit.


Download (v 1.1-2)

Ubuntu 10.04+ 32bit:	http://ddos-tremulous.eu/apelsin/apelsin-1.1-2-i386.deb
Windows:	http://ddos-tremulous.eu/apelsin/apelsin-setup-1.1-2.exe
Arch linux AUR:	http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50568
Arch linux 64bit pkg:	http://ddos-tremulous.eu/apelsin/apelsin-1.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Haskell Hackage:	http://hackage.haskell.org/package/apelsin

The 32bit Ubuntu package will also work on 64bit with: dpkg --force-architecture -i apelsin-1.1-2-i386.deb.deb
The only way to get a Mac OSX version at the moment is to build it yourself. If you do build one tell me!

That looks pretty sweet, and very helpful. Good work.

[Volt]

Great program, great release

[kharnov]

Can you get a 64-bit .deb up? It'd be much appreciated. I can't install the 32-bit one in 64-bit Ubuntu.

[Menace13]

Mac version would be appreciated, I cba to figure out how to do it to or bother to do it.

dpkg --force-architecture -i packagename.deb should do you.

Thanks! It works.

Might come in the future

I don't have a mac so i need help building one. Qata tried but didn't succeed.
I'm hoping there is someone with experience will see this post and build one.

[Taco]

Very Helpful. Thanks

Two things:

• Can you add GT's IRC? It's ##gtclam on Freenode.
• ESF was not a clan. Perhaps at some point a person wore that tag, but it is simply not something you should include in a list of clans. They never existed.

• Done.
• From what I recall it had multiple players when I added it to the database. The clanlist will not be used for any clan drama.

Other than that, yay for in my opinion one of the best programs ever created for Tremulous. Not only the server browser, but onlineclans + clan contacts should help the community a lot.

I launch Tremulous with a "+set fs_homepath" parameter, and it doesn't look like there's any way to set parameters under Preferences -> Path/Command. Could you add that? Other than that, great program!

Can you not just make a script?

Code: [Select]

nano ~/StartTrem.sh
    tremulous-gpp +set fs_homepath blah/blah
chmod +x ~/StartTrem.sh
then point the path/command thing to your script?

[David]

put "$@" in there too, so other args will work.

I'll do it:  I was just didn't have a lot of time to mess around with the Haskell library before I left for China.  When I get back on the 27th I will most certainly finish it.  If anyone else in the meantime wants to try, then go ahead.

I'm on Windows, and it doesn't seem to like executing batch files.

This was actually how it was at first, then one guy reported it not working during the beta phase so I changed it speculatively. It turned out that his problem was the launcher but i forgot to change it back. It's fixed in the git repo and will appear in v1.1!

My version doesn't appear to have a problem with executing batch files.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
cd C:\games\Tremulous\
C:\games\Tremulous\tremulous-gpp.exe %1 %2
works for me;
the following should work for 1.1 stock clients and backports

Code: [Select]

@echo off
cd C:\games\Tremulous\
C:\games\Tremulous\tremulous.exe -connect %2 %1 %2


[Pazuzu]

Thanks, I was either missing the cd command, or it needed both parameters. It works now.

[Demolution]

Man it's so depressing to see how few people play now. :/

[OhaiReapd]

Ikr demo.

Now, mac version please. I know Kiwi is very skilled at this, maybe you could message him?

[ziplocpeople]

Your fault, you haven't been on enough.

[Demolution]

I'm afraid of the GT conspiracy! D:

On-topic: Love this little program. Good work.

Off-topic: Love this little program. Good work.

Fixed that for you.

Off Topic: What would be really nice is implementing something like this into the Tremulous server browser, but I doubt that'd be anything less than tedious.

No, could be implemented, but the dev's are too busy making their code hard to read.

EDIT from double post:

Will run on wine/crossover. For all you mac users.

I think you've been talking to volt too much as of late

[OhaiReapd]

Not even bro, found that out myself.

[Celestial_Rage]

I don't know what you mean. The code is easy enough to read and there are enough comments to figure stuff out, if you at least know the basics.

O lord... Apelsin is written in Haskell, Tremulous is written in QuakeC

You could re-code the the server browser to include some new features but whats the point, i thought Apelsin was for out of trem server browsing.

OhaiReapd's views are his and only his, PLEASE KEEP ME THE FUCK OUT OF THIS! thanks


Back ontopic, this programs has been running for about 4days now and still no bugs or errors, great job Cadynum.

[Tremulant]

How proficient a coder are you, then?
