Players online web stat

Here SysOps can list their MultiPlayer server info and users can send feedback to their SysOps. Or just talk about the MultiPlayer servers they play on. This is not about MultiPlayer in general - please use the MultiPlayer Forum for that!

Players online web stat

I looked/searched LR boards many times in last few days to find info about that but there is no specific info. I want to setup a script showing current FL server status (online/offline) and number of players currently playing on the server that our clan is playing. The stat is to be place on our clan website. Thank you in advance.

I looked at it. As far as i saw this tool generate webstatistic of all chars on the server and dont show the currently players online (as a number) on the server. I saw that on soem servers flstat creates statistic liek the standart oen but with players online but its huge cause it show the names and all the other info and its runned only on the server (cant be created remotely).

i tell ya i dont know too much but you need a server operator like iron cross or cdl 1.23 . put a check in the space update players online . iron cross does this through flstat but cdl does it on its own but has to be downloaded to notepad then you tranfer this to a website nothing i know can be done remotely.

ioncross and flstat (ioncross does use flstat) only generate tables with stats... and its very unlikely that he wants to know about those

the more interested are the php scripts which can read out information from a server directly via its socket and display it in real time on a page

So if i find FLPing source code or sort of i coudl look at how it "speak" with the server?

dunno about FLPing... never used it and i doubt that you can use it to display something on a webpage
