What is HAOM?

HAOM (Hydra's Army Operations Manager) is a tool that runs on Windows that allows anyone with an internet connection to host thier own AA server, either Publicly or Privately. As long as your PC meets the specs to run an AA server, you can. HAOM removes the need for you to have to worry about manually editing INI files to configure your AA server. It also goes beyond just being an "INI editor" by adding many other features. Such as running more than one AA server at a time, being able to remotely control them, Global BAN lists, crash protection, auto-restarting periodicly to reclaim resources amongst others.

What's New with HAOM

  

Important News

(5-22-2005) Released v1.0.73.

  • Fixed startup error because of changes in AA 2.4.
  

Uninstall any previous versions of HAOM, deleting it's installation folder if necassary.

Any previous HAOM configs will not work with this version correctly, so delete and recreate them with the new version.

PB support is currently only for single servers. You can run more than 1 server, but only one can be PB enabled.

The Config Maker interface is in the middle of being rearranged so not everything is where it belongs. But it's all there.

Map Cycling feature may not work on Win98.

The Weekly scheduling of the Scheduler is temporarily disabled.

I am in the middle of a 100% total rewrite of HAOM. Because it's not finished yet and the current version broke with AA 2.4, I have released HAOM v1.0.73 so that you may keep using HAOM for now.

More to come later.

 

Future Features

    
  • More PunkBuster options as I work out the details.
  • The ability to download your server logs remotely so they can be parsed by the Log Reader.
  • More command line options.
  • The ability to set the Process Priority of HAOM and the AA servers.
  • Porting HAOM over to .NET. This will allow me to convert HAOM to a true Windows service.
