Hey everyone!
Last week the progressive rollout of txAdmin v8.0 started, bringing a new settings page, improved diagnostics, and much more!
New Settings Page
Alongside a major refactoring of the internal modules (especially the config storage), the time to migrate the settings page to React finally came. The new page brings some nice quality of life changes, such as a 12/24H restart scheduler input dialog, an easy button to reset the server data path, and new options.
And most importantly, now you have a changelog to keep track of recent settings changes!
Custom Login Page
One of the most common customization requests we get is adding the server logo to the login page, and because of that, now txAdmin will automatically detect your server icon (from load_server_icon) and sv_projectName at boot time to display it on the login page.
Better Diagnostics
We all know how frustrating it can be when txAdmin restarts your server and is not very clear what was the reason, and that’s why now txAdmin will provide all of the information available via the server status card, live console, and terminal.
New Host Configuration
Alongside the efforts announced yesterday to bring new Game Server Providers to the platform, we introduced the TXHOST_* environment variables, which replace the old ConVars as well as added new options.
If you use the CLI ConVars to change txAdmin’s port and txData’s location, we recommend migrating to the TXHOST equivalent as those ConVars will stop working on the next update.
For more information on all the options available, as well as a migration guide, please visit https://aka.cfx.re/txadmin-env-config.
