What is Automated LAN Party?
ALP bundles all the games and files needed for clients in one package. The ALP Launcher allows you to have a steam-like experence where you pick which games, servers, and scanners to have at your events within a few minutes of setup.
The built-in tournament, calendar, and download pages take a load off LAN party admins. Attendees browse the intranet page for all their information including what server's are active, who's playing what, and how to join.
What ALP is not!
Originally not intended for online use, ALP is built for in-house server and game hosting so that people can have an easier time getting the same versions of games.
It is not originally intended to build online servers, but with the right ports forwarded you can.
It also isn't for event registration as it has no seat-map or ticketing system.
