Live data feed?

[BassAce]

Would it be possible to make a live data (i'm not sure how to say this but ) Output so that it can be viewed from these forums or put on a website . Possibly saying server info and for both the ctf and aow server like # of players and current map ? Will and can this happen anytime in the future?

You mean like this? If so it's pretty simple in BRenBot, done using the FDS Status Reporter plugin.

Since the Tsugaming servers run NR, it would require Lee to do something similar for NR, but the code behind it is not that complex, it just creates a txt file and uploads it to a predefined location where it can be read by a PHP script. The TK2 website first loads it into a DB to link it with the ranking data uploaded by the ranks plugin, but that's not really required, just a nice extra.

NR already has this, and Ace knows that. He's just trying to get Lee to fix some of the bugs.

yea ...

I think this is a good idea. GO LEE! ha you can do it

Im on the forums more then irc or ingame. If i could see the people ingame that would prolly get me ingame. Is it something your could make so its not just on one page cause my link to the forums goes straight to the active topics so if its on the home page i wont see it.

We used to have it at the top of the Renegade section page only. Which is still where I'd prefer to have it.

It's not "live" in the sense that when someone joins it updates. But every time you refresh the page it will update.

so any chance that Lee will be working on this soon if not already. actually i talked to him yesterday and he needs is a vb6 code(virtual basics 6).

[PsuFan]

yes that is exactly what he needs...
