This Project aims to make use of the (Admin Port)[https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/blob/master/docs/admin_network.md] that is provided by the OpenTTDServer. By accessing the Admin Port we are able to requeset data on our players, their companys, as well as chat and commands being used by the server! This provides an interesting oppurtunity where we can collect large amounts of data on various OpenTTD games as well as control the servers remotley(autonomously/via discord)
This project runs off of Node to implement the API that connects to the admin port. This is located in AdminPort\API\ExpressServer.js. From here you can either use the API as a standalone or you can also boot up the web interface found in AdminPort\WebApp\app.js. In htefuture there will also be avaiability to connect a Discord Bot to your Discord servers to access the API as well
To enable the admin port it is important that in openttd.cfg (normally found in C:\Users\Eric\Documents\OpenTTD\openttd.cfg) under the network category that the follwoingis added admin_password = Eric. You can confirm that the admin port is opend by looking at the server interface and watching for dbg: [net] [tcp] listening on IPv4 port 0.0.0.0:3977 (IPv4)
The admin port now lives in C:\Users\Eric\Documents\OpenTTD\secrets.cfg as well
