• Repository: github.com/mleem97/gregMod.IPAM
• Roadmap: ROADMAP.md

Overview

gregMod.IPAM extends Data Center with an in-game IPAM and network management layer. The focus is faster IP handling, better device visibility, DHCP/subnet workflows, and a foundation for more advanced network features.

The project is designed as normal-mode first: core features should be usable directly in-game without external tools or unnecessary complexity.

Current Features

• IPAM overlay with dashboard, device, and IP views
• Device inventory via in-game reflection
• IPv4/subnet helpers and private subnet logic
• DHCP scope management (Global / VLAN / Switch)
• Routing, ping, and reachability helpers
• Cisco-like CLI / terminal concept for network devices
• Persistent device configuration
• Rack management with live slot status
• Naming templates with bulk rename
• Debug logging for mod and network diagnostics

Planned Focus Areas

See ROADMAP.md for details. Main development tracks include:

• improved IP assignment UX
• DHCP scope management
• VLAN and management-plane foundations
• patch-port labeling
• shared-server / multi-tenant concepts
• redundancy and advanced networking features
• gamified IPAM objectives, health scores, and conflict reporting
• iPad-style UI border

Installation

1. Install MelonLoader (v0.7.2+) for Data Center.

2. Copy the release DLL into the mod folder:

   Game/Mods/gregMod.IPAM.dll
   

3. Start the game.

4. Open the IPAM overlay in-game. Default hotkey: P.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key	Action
P	Open IPAM overlay (takes mouse focus)
Escape	Close IPAM + open game pause menu
Ctrl+L	Assign DHCP to all servers
Mouse wheel	Increment/decrement IP octet
. or ,	Advance to next octet
Backspace	Delete last digit in active octet
0–9	Type digits into active octet
Ctrl+Click	Multi-select rows
Shift+Click	Range-select rows
Tab	Cycle through form fields

Dependencies

• MelonLoader (v0.7.2+)

Build only

• Il2CppInterop
• Harmony
• Unity / game interop assemblies from the local Data Center installation

Build from Source

Requirements:

• .NET 6 SDK
• local Data Center / MelonLoader installation

Note: This mod was built on Linux using Proton-GE 10-34. The .csproj uses MSBuild variables ($(MelonLoaderNetDir), $(GameInteropDir)) to locate game and MelonLoader DLLs. When building on a different system, either set these variables or adjust the <HintPath> entries to point to your local MelonLoader and game interop assemblies.

Build:

git clone https://github.com/mleem97/gregMod.IPAM.git
cd gregMod.IPAM
dotnet build -c Release

Release output:

bin/Release/net6.0/gregMod.IPAM.dll

🚀 Join the gregFramework Team!

Building the ultimate modding framework for Data Center is a massive undertaking. gregFramework is currently maintained by a passionate core team of three, and we are looking for fellow creators to help us scale this mission!

Your place in the team: We won't throw you into the deep end. Depending on your individual strengths and skills, we will match you with the right areas of the project so you can contribute exactly where you have the most fun.

🌍 Language Requirement: A solid grasp of written English is required (without relying on machine translation). Being comfortable speaking English in voice chats is a huge plus, but we completely respect those who prefer to stick to text!

We are looking for motivated volunteers to join our crew across several roles:

• 💻 Code Wizards (C#, Rust, Lua, TS, GO) — Build and expand the core framework and mod packages
• 🎨 Asset Creators (3D Models, hardware assets) — Bring the framework to life visually
• 📚 Technical Writers — Craft wiki entries, maintain documentation, and write user guides
• 🎮 Alpha Testers — Hunt down bugs, stress-test the framework, and provide critical feedback
• ⚙️ System Guardians — Maintain our Linux servers, Docker containers, and infrastructure
• 🤝 Community Managers — Foster our Discord community, gather feedback, and keep the energy high

Interested in joining the project? Everyone is absolutely welcome! Send us an email at apply@gregframework.eu, shoot a quick DM, or drop a message on Discord.
