Description:
Nomad is a Tribes 2 server monitoring and administration tool for Linux and Gnome. The name came from mixing up some of the letters from the words "Monitor" and "Admin". I wrote Nomad so that I could monitor the player list and scores on my Linux machine while I was playing Tribes 2 on my Windows machine. Since I started writing Nomad, I found other useful features to add, such as the telnet console, dialog boxes for automating common commands, and the master server query window for quickly finding certain servers.

This program is NOT intended for mass public consumption. I have only been developing Gnome applications for a short time, and I have never tested any of them on any machines other than my own. If you are comfortable with Perl, installing Perl modules, and Linux/Gnome in general, you can probably get this program running with little effort. However, if you are not a Perl programmer, then don't even bother downloading this software. Several non-standard Perl modules are required to make it even think about running, so you must be comfortable with installing Perl modules from the CPAN.

Requirements:
The following software is required for Nomad to run:

Support:
Due to the "unpolished" nature of this software, I am unable to offer support of any kind. However, if you are a Perl programmer, and have very specific questions about installing or tweaking this program, feel free to email me. I love to talk shop about Perl, so I will do my best to help. I cannot however teach people how to install Linux, Gnome, Perl, or Perl modules. Any support inquiries of that nature will be ignored. Sorry, but my time is very limited and as much as I'd love to help people learn more about Perl and Gnome applications, I just can't do it.

Future Enhancements:
Features that I hope to add to the application sometime in the future:

  • Ability to switch maps.
  • Ability to kick/ban players.
  • Ability to add players to the admin/superadmin lists.
  • Additional colorizing of console messages.
  • Additional dialogs for setting server options like tournament mode, etc., possibly move various server options into a new config dialog.
  • Spinner control for setting refresh time.
  • Dialog for adding/editing/deleting servers from the popup list.
