More and more often I am asked the question of how to set up GameClass. Gameclass is one of the most powerful computer room management programs. Despite the abundance of documentation on the official website, the installation and configuration process is quite complicated. Therefore, I decided to talk about this process in detail.

The GameClass program is distributed on the website http://www.gameclass.ru/. There you can download a demo version for free and try out its functionality. For the minimum set, we will need an installation of the MSDE2000 database (MSDE2000 ReleaseA Database) and an installation of the GameClass 3.84 Release 9 program itself. As of today, this is the latest stable version. I'm afraid that the program will not develop further in the future until an investor is found to buy the project. The remaining modules and programs are needed for more fine tuning your club.

Before installing GameClass you need to install a database server Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine, which is responsible for processing program data. You need to install the MSDE2000 version downloaded from the GameClass website. With several other versions of MSDE2000, the Internet cafe control program refused to work for me. MSDE is unpacked into the specified directory, launched from there and installed without questions or messages in the C:\Program files\Microsoft SQL Server directory

After installing MSDE2000, you need to find and run the ResetPass.bat file, which is located in the directory where MSDE2000 was unpacked. Before running this BAT file You need to restart the computer so that all paths to the SQL server are registered in the system settings. ResetPass resets the database administrator password and during installation the GameClass program will configure all passwords automatically.

After restarting the computer, in the tray of the watch you will find the SQL Service Manager program, which allows you to stop and restart MSSQL server. Stopping the server is necessary to make a database backup. The data itself will be located in the C:\Program files\Microsoft SQL Server\8.0\Data directory. I recommend regularly making a copy of this directory in order to be able to restore your statistics, account information, program settings and generally everything related to GameClass data.

After making sure that SQL Service Manager is running and the MSSQL database is running, you can begin installing GameClass. When you start the installation, the program will ask you how to configure it to be used. When installing on client computers in the hall that will be blocked, you must select "Client computer". On the operator’s computer, select “Main control computer”. Usually the MSDE2000 database runs on the same computer, but this is not necessary. GameClass allows you to connect to a remote database on another server by entering the SQL server address.

After installation, use an empty manager password to log into the system. There are not many mandatory settings for hall control:

  • Define passwords for manager and operator in the "Users" section
  • Determine the IP addresses of client computers in the "Computers" section
  • Determine tariffs

After the settings, we connect as an operator and begin working with the hall. When you run the program under the operator, the program shows green computers that are visible on the network and red computers that are turned off. When the client sees the server, it displays a window for entering login and password. If the “Computer is free” block is lit, it means there is some problem in the settings.

The function of connecting to a remote database is useful on the manager’s computer, who, by installing the program, can monitor the state of the room remotely. To do this, install GameClass by selecting “Manager’s Computer”. To connect, check the box “Connect to another server” and write the address of the database server. Make sure that firewalls and antiviruses are not blocking MSSQL service ports. Using the manager’s password, you can remotely see not only the state of the room, but also reports, statistics, as well as make changes to accounts and carry out any work with the settings. After changing the settings, the operator must disconnect from the database and log in again to apply it.

In the near future I’m going to talk about how to manage clients under GameClass operating system Linux Gentoo.

Locker is a comprehensive automation system for computer clubs and Internet cafes. The main tasks of the system are to register computer sessions in the hall and block the operation of computers whose session time has expired. In addition, the Locker program keeps track of any additional services, user payments, the balance of each user, accounting for computer reservations, collects statistics and generates various reports on work and much more...

The Locker program has a developed system for separating employee access to various functions and reports. Using additional modules, it is possible to display the status of the hall computers on a separate screen for users at the entrance to the computer room, display the current status of computers on the club’s website on the Internet, send messages about the current status to the head of the club, and automatically print receipts on the cash register.

New option client program for club computers Club Client program. This program also works with Locker!

Bonus work system: “Bonus time” accumulates on the user’s account. For example, for every five hours of work, the user receives one hour of free bonus time. The use of this system is a good incentive for regular users.

Description of the Locker program

The program is distributed as shareware, and is supplied on an “as is” basis, that is, the developer is not responsible for the possible consequences of its incorrect use. We guarantee only compliance of the program's functions with its documentation and attention on our part to the wishes of the program's users.

The program runs on Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP / 2003 / 2000 / NT / 98 / ME. Minimum Requirements: a computer capable of running some kind of Windows, 15 MB of hard disk space + data size. The display screen resolution must be no worse than 1024x768.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the opportunity to check out and touch all the programs for managing a computer room, but still I decided to make a small subjective review of existing programs for controlling computer time in an Internet cafe so that you know what programs exist, where to download or buy them and the main functions of these programs. I only tried the first two programs from the entire list.

GameClass
Quite a powerful, but buggy program. It is protected by the fact that when working on server Windows, it writes data to an MSSQL database running under another user and the operator does not have access to change the data. I liked the account system, when users, having deposited money into their account, no longer bother operators and log in using their password. An extended statistics system that shows how much each account has gained over a period of time. The ability to remove only one specific task without affecting the others. I didn’t like the format of the logs, which make it very difficult to find out who was imprisoned when and how long they sat there under what conditions. Very often glitches occur when an account receives a negative amount of money, while if it is zero, the account is blocked. When starting the game Generals, if you choose to turn off the computer, an error occurs, the GCC client falls off and the computer remains unlocked. This is very actively used.

Astalavista
An excellent program, but unfortunately I only worked with old version. An intuitive log of operations, a clear description of the configuration of each computer, a list of running programs, the ability to connect via vnc/radmin to the client directly from the program. I was able to run this program directly from Linux using wine. In one of my clubs, operators still administer the room using Astalavista under Linux. By specifying the path to vncviewer in the Astalavista settings, even under Linux you can connect perfectly to the client computer. Several glitches have appeared under Linux: at 100% processor load, Astalavista stops responding to clicks. All programs work without even noticing this load, and Astalavista doesn’t even budge. The second is that the operation log does not appear immediately, and after some time flush does not help.
