VBphgstats Integration: Game Server Query tool

This hack integrates the phgstats script into VB.

It's so far only been tested on 3.5.1 but should work on 3.5.x It is still in beta

To install just upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum root and import the product via the admincp, then link to VBGameServer.php however you like. It's already configured with two demo servers so check to ensure they are working before configuring this script.

To Upgrade overwrite all files reimport the product with allow overwrite checked. (You will still lose your servers and have to re add them as there are a couple of extra values needed now.

Demo http://www.fuo-motorsports.com/forum/VBGameServer.php

UPDATE v1.3 - Small Update, Only needed if your are adding servers that require a different queryport than the standard game port..

UPDATE v1.2 - Sorting of servers added, Servers can also be enabled or disabled, Breadcrumb added to the navbar, refresh link added on the server page, Counter-Strike: Source added, Fixed bug in map image only showing the BF2 image.

UPDATE v1.1 - Admincp added. Adds one new table to store the server info instead of having to manually configure the php file.

What is phgstats?

phgstats is an realtime gameserver status script, written in php, to display data from one or more gameservers on webpages.

The following gametypes are support:

- American's Army

- Enemy Territory
- Half-Life / Half-Life2

LoL

Didn't realise you were in Australia, I can survive without it until the morning hehe.

Unfortunately, it doesn't let you cheat, because it only allows 10 chars (including the : )

so the last digit of the query port gets chopped off.

have a good sleep

Just updated the zip to include this fix. You will have to reimport the plugin as there are some db changes.

Let me know how it goes.

I LOVE IT ! AWESOME WORK!!! *clicks install* when will the final version be released? I will be waiting for it = )

[Mith]

Excellent Stuff, JT works awesome... no probs here :-)


What would make this complete:

• Server Launcher (click a button to join that server)
• Whose on the server on forumhome
• VBA CMPS Module to show server status on VBAdvanced Homepage.

[JTyson]

Server Launcher, Dont alot of games come with a URL protocol that means you can click a link to join?

Forum Home? Read below as it also applies.

VBA Module will come soon however im not uite sure of the implications of this as if you have a high traffic site it would be querying the server with every page load. which isnt good. I could look into caching server info to overcome this however this hack is getting further beyond just integration (it's already better than the original phgstats..lol).

It wouldnt be hard for me to rewrite this so it runs on a cron and updates the db once a minute but it woud still be someone elses program, unless someone can have a look at the license for it and see if i can rename it and remove credits.

With the new update of today, I have tried to put F1 Challenge in my gameserver list because the extra queryport that i need for the F1 game. What me surprised was that I had now a connection to the server, only the names and screens were not correct, but I think that there with these extra Queryport (Optional) possibilities are, do you think that you can make on this basis a classes for F1 Challenge. I can make the screens of F1 Challenge circuits etc.....

So Noth bf2 and mohaa work with your server for basic info but not players? I know that mohaa actually uses a gamespy protocol from looking around.

Attach a 150x150 image and i'll have a look at it, and ateleast get a new class made so that we can modify it

Yes mohaa used the gamespy protocol and F1 Challenge also. What means you with Attach a 150x150 image, where wants you that of have?

Edit : you mean for that circuit :nervous:

[JTyson]

For each class there is a default image that is used by that class when the mapname.jpg isnt found.

So the default image would be a 150x150px image for the game not the circut, you can then keep adding circuitname.jpg to the maps folder
