I 've created an account yesterday and started to install a game.
Haven't tested it yet though because it takes quite long to download .
But found one disturbing thing.... I created a gameserver based on the not yet fully downloaded game. Now I can't stop the download or remove the game again because it says the server is running.
Allthough it is obviously and really, not running .
Also you might want to strip unneccessary files from the packages ? There was a video file of >300mb, which is absolutely not neccessary for a dedicated server...hmmm
Anyway.
I also found out that the control panel is actually hosted on your servers.
Is it possible to theme it ?
I know there are webservices, which is great, but AFAIK you can't do everything a customer might want to do, using them ? (changing config files f.ex.)

A sample game you could install is the Shoutcast game - its around 500KB, if that!

Yeah this is a bug I noticed which I hope to fix soon.
In the meantime, just close GameCreate Client, wait ~5-10 minutes and your host will appear to drop offline on the GameCreate website. Once that is done, visit the hosts overview page again, you will see a new Stop button appear, click it, then remove the server (or just stop it).
Then run GC Client again.

Our installs were made by us for us many years ago (some games are several years old and have not changed since then!).
Which game was this video in? We would obviously want to remove anything like that which is not needed!

You cant theme it at the moment.
You can however automate creating servers/files/domains etc for customers if you want to provide them a link to login.
You can still control who has access to what.
Can look into providing some theming for GameCreate on our todo list, this should be relativly simple to style items such as the stylesheet.

Ah ok
Will try that thnx !
(A "reset status" button for advanced users would be nice...)

Oh ok... Well I installed enemy territory. The concerning file is "etmain/video/etintro.roq".

If it is possible to completely remote control all the features a customers might want (including bookings etc), than that's all I would need .
I don't want to send a customer to a control panel which doesn't fit our design and which is at an address like "blabla.blabla.xx.gamecreate.com" ... Doesn't look good IMHO.

Stylesheets and also the possibility to set a custom logo ...
That would be nice.
