Hello,
It's been a while since I've released anything, but I have a program that I am releasing right now called NSC, a remote control utility for Nightfire Dedicated servers. You can use this to manage a Dedicated server from across the Internet, or a LAN (Local Area Network). Handy for managing a friends server, or when your away from home, or for matches where someone needs remote access but you do not want to allow them complete access to the PC with VNC or Remote Desktop.
NSC is comprised of 2 programs, a Client and a Server.. Basically you run the Server on the PC which also has the Nightfire dedicated server exe, and the client on a separate machine that is going to control the remote server, although you can also use them both on the same machine if you'd like.
NSC Client:
Has an easy-to-use interface allowing you to connect to the server, allows you to remotely view the status of a Nightfire Dedicated Server, and allows you to start (with highly configurable options, and error checking), stop, and manage it. Also has the ability to view the Console window directly transferred in real-time over the network (a little buggy when the console becomes flooded with information and you do a full-refresh).
NSC Server:
Runs on the PC with the Dedicated Nightfire Server, and acts like a bridge between the client and Nightfire. Allows configuring the ports it is runs on, as well as the ports Nightfire is started with, and some Anti-Server-Abuse options to protect against malicious users trying to crack the password. It will automatically Ban IP addresses which try to throw a brute password attack at it, and if the password is wrong requires a string verification by default. Keeps a displayed log of all activity on the server and will auto-reload the connection if an error occurs, so you can easily reconnect to it and not worry about being locked out if something does go wrong.
Both the Client and Server have an auto-update feature, which can download the new setup file automatically (thanks [009]!).

Main Features:
-CPS (from NAT) if your server crashes or gets accidentally closed, NSC will use CPS technology to re-launch it with the options it was started with.
-Security for connecting to the server (Password protection, string verification on failed password, Ban IP after x number of unsuccessful logins, anti-connection hogging on the password entry box, blocks all commands unless you authenticate)
-Control your dedicated server from anywhere on the Internet!
-Easily get into server-hosting without all the technical configuration generally required for a dedicated game server.
-Advanced configuration via a text box on the client where you can specify any additional console commands to run when launching Nightfire.
-Auto Update check
-and more I can't think of at the moment
Enjoy, please leave your comments :)
