LFSTimer -- put a simple countdown on your server
So I did this some time ago.

It just shows time countdown so you don't have to check how much time is left before your event.

It's best run from the same PC the server is running from so that you don't use up network to send updated text every second...

Usage: edit config.ini, put server commands you want executed on timer end in timeout_commands.txt and run

Sources are in lfstimer_src.zip, you need to put in some boost libs to build it... I was learning programming back then so if you're programmer you better off go and write something from scratch Smile

Giving sources is amazing and I'm surprised most people don't do it. It's not amazing for the raw purpose of being able to use and copy the code for your own usage, but to actually check that the sketchy .exe you are launching actually is doing what it's supposed to be
