That's a shame - I have been watching this thread anticipating a PHP script... ah well I guess it will come in time....

[LoRdNaTaS]

Sorry for the disappointment... I will get back to I promise. But I want stats first.. I know I am a greedy bastard... Sorry

[KaeseGewitter]

I GOT IT.

 

Jeah I have finished my work at the server state script: GO THIS WAY

[LoRdNaTaS]

I like it but it seems that your link to sever1 is having issues but the server2 link seems fine.

[KaeseGewitter]

sometimes the link works and sometimes not. I think it is, when the server is changin his map.

[LoRdNaTaS]

hey KaeseGewitter drop me a line I want to ask you some questions on your script..

nice work.

 

is this a modified version of the other script or your own?

 

are you offering a download for people?

[KaeseGewitter]

thx, its my own work. So far I know are no other PHP Scripts for Battlefront Server avaible.

 

Soon, there will be a download able version.

[KaeseGewitter]

Now there is a download able Version avaible: press here

Many thanks for the php script KaeseGewitter!

 

Works a treat, had to do a little bit of fiddling, but seems to work fine... as my webserver (abyss) sits on the game server, I just use 127.0.0.1 (stops the darn thing timing out).

 

I'm also using a cut down version of PHP, so I cant throttle PHP Notice messages so I changed this line :-

 

if ($bytes_left['unread_bytes'] > 0)

{

$buf = fread($fp, $bytes_left['unread_bytes']);

}

 

Just to define the 'unread_bytes', for anyone else who may have problems with it.

 

 

Danke Schone!

[KaeseGewitter]

Hi, great to see, that the script is working. But I wouldn't definde 'unread_bytes' because you don't know, how long the message ist, which the server sends to you, so if the message is longer then the defined value, you may have a problem.

[vwjoker]

ah, I wasnt too sure what putting the ' ' marks around it did.

 

I figured it was a generic sort of define (like cast) method, and wouldnt affect its length. So um... outta my depth already, it defines the type, and not the length?

 

Hey, its been a few years since I have bothered to code... I vowed never to code again, and star wars has forced me back into it.

 

.... mumbles something about dark side and succumbing ...

 

My Effort

[KaeseGewitter]

sorry, I didn't understood you right, I thought you wrote something like this:

 

define unread_bytes = 1024;

 

So it was my fault, sry. Perhaps you should build a small design around my Script. just make a index.php (or any other name). Put into this index.php your HTML Code and then write this: <? include("status.php"); ?> at the point, where my script should be shown.

Hi Guys - I've been lurking here watching the great work you guys are doing.

 

But I do have a question: is there a reason you guys don't have the Heros On/Off data, and number of bots info displayed?

[KaeseGewitter]

the server doesn't send every information back. So you doesn't get the information, if Hereos are on/off, or if there are Bots, etc.

[[SYN]~slinky~]

Then how does my client know how to display this info? Sorry if this is a noob question, if it is, I'll shut up...

[vwjoker]

In terms of the part of the script that sorts out which side is which, I've had a look and they dont always seem to tally.

 

ie the game may be rebels vs imperials, but Confederation / Republic would be showing.

 

So I just changed the code to this.

 

echo("<table width='600'><tr><td colspan=4><b>");

# Display "goodies"

echo($array[$ber2+4]);

echo (" - ".$array[$ber2+5]);

 

echo("</b></td><td colspan=4><b>");

# Display "badies"

echo($array[$ber2+6]);

echo (" - ".$array[$ber2+7]);

 

echo("</b></td></tr>");

[DNACowboy]

yea i still haven't figured out what the end team info is.

 

team_t and score_t are always the same..

 

REBEL or EMPIRE and the score_t is always 10 and 15..

 

i believe this may have been the Galactic Conquest feature they where going to put in (where score carried over from round to round)..

 

right now it is only good for determining the player set, GCW vs Republic..

[LoRdNaTaS]

the only thing I have found the team_t is good for is determining the game type.

 

If Rebels & Empire then you are playing episode 4 - 6

If Rebulic and CIS then you are playing episode 1 - 3

 

But the score_t seems to have no use as of yet due to it never changes. I though it might be the ticket count but it seems that it is not.

[vwjoker]

Just a quick question, how did anyone figure out what HEX codes to send to the server to query it?

 

$send = pack("H*", "FE");

$send .= pack("H*", "FD");

$send .= pack("H*", "00");

$send .= pack("H*", "04");

$send .= pack("H*", "05");

$send .= pack("H*", "06");

$send .= pack("H*", "07");

$send .= pack("H*", "FF");

$send .= pack("H*", "FF");

$send .= pack("H*", "FF");

 

... am just wondering if it responds to other HEX queries or not, y'see.

 

 

_edit_

Having engaged brain, I realised this must be the UDP query format. heh

[DNACowboy]

it is the new standard gamespy query package..

 

before you sent simple text like

 

$socket->send("/status/");

 

 

instead they changed it to this hex string...
