ENH: Add a command prompt to the master server

Open EliteMasterEric opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Ideally, running ./MasterServer should, aside from displaying logs, also provide a prompt with which commands can be run.

This terminal should have access to any commands a GM level 9 user would, and would allow running server operators to run commands without logging in.

What would the commands be run from though? They need an entity to run on. A possibility could be a ghost GM9 player, or maybe even the zone control object.

For that to work without interrupting the game, you need separate threads and synchronization, which would great, but would also be a major change in how the game works right now. Much better might be something like #309 which is then called by another program.

(Trivia: This was a thing on LUNI way back when)
