Whats this?

It shows the difference between a modified server
file and the game file on which it is based or a
modified game file and the original untouched file.

Ever wondered why one of your ten CSS-servers
has a modified server.cfg? Just click on 'compare'
to get a quick overview of the changes that were
made to the file.

sounds awsome

they should add md5 security hash code compares also to show if the config is a fake or a real one an admin put in...

Yep its new.

There's a new feature just added as well which will provide a list of servers which are overriding a specific game file.

If you are editing the Game File named 'Server Config', the page will show a list of servers which have custom files overriding that server file when appropriate.

Thanks so much Andrew. Great features.

I still would like to see something done about the use of multiple IP addresses on a machine to host multiple games on different IP addy.

I know there is a fix for this for users who want to use multiple IP addresses but Id still like to see something done to the panel software to accommodate this request if possible.

We support multiple IP addresses per host - click the Host Configuration tab to add additional IPs.

Where would the separate FTP paths go? They all run out of the same game install.

If you want to limit the files people can download, play with the FTP ACL rules (FTP Admin under Domain tab).

You can also create sub-domains (if you are in a rental environment) to physically separate installs from one another.

The ftp paths would go as follows:

in the case of call of duty:

Server A - 123.223.22.1:28960

/callofduty/serverA/

Server B - 123.223.22.1:28961

/callofduty/serverB/

Server C - 123.223.22.2:28960

/callofduty/serverC/

So essentially instead of assigning the ftp path directory as the port number which would offset the purpose here, just assign it by userID or serverIP or something else allowing as result the use of multiple call of duty servers on a single IP address NOT sharing the same FTP paths to where the game server config files would be located along with log files, server mods and maps, etc.

In another way what Im saying is to abolish the concept of using the same core server files shared among servers because when you duplicate an entire call of duty game server install for example, then your basically assigning a dedicated game server path to the FTP.

Plus side to this change is that in a rental envoirnment it seperates customers from accessing each others log files or configs AND it allows each customer to modify their own core server files instead of sharing them and risking breaking the core server files by the idea of sharing them to begin with.

The Downside is that for every call of duty game server install for example in a rental envoirnment at least, it would be basically the entire call of duty setup as a server with all the files; 1.8gb i think in windows and maybe 1.2gb in linux i think

Subdomains dont isolate on a per server basis - they isolate individual subdomains installs on the host, so each subdomain has its own install of the game.
