HTM Server Status Page

[frogger]

Okay..I finally got a decent tool for showing the status of our servers. I have 4 up now..if you have one you want added..let me know...

http://www.h-townmadness.com/servers.html

you need a plug-in to view them..get it Here (http://q3px.khimtech.com/downloads/q3px_v30.exe)

[{SBD}SJAndrew]

Whoa, cool!

Can you add some of our servers too?

[frogger]

Whoa, cool!

I can but would likely make a new page..These can be embedded into a regular webpage..so if you want I can pass you the code for your servers..

[frogger]

how's this..?

i ripped a url for some of the map images..still working on how to get them all...basically we need a directory somewhere with pics of all the maps sized to 100 x 75 pixels...stilll trying to see if a database exists that has more than this one i am 'borrowing'.. :wink:

[frogger]

ok..i downloaded all tha map images from this guys site..and moved them to our server..at least i can sleep tonight...looks like we need to manually make/get an image for each map that we want an image for..kind of a pain..but is sweet when it works.. still searching for more images of the less standard stuff.. looks like no ONS stuff here either.. (sorry SJ)

[{SBD}SJAndrew]

Thanks!

I know I miss Sub's page (he's changing the URL).

Don't worry about the image. I just want to know who (if anyone) is connected to our servers.

[frogger]

ijust added images for the default maps that were running when i put up (torlan and arctic)

[{SBD}SJAndrew]

Actually, can you send me the html for this?

Does it require CGI or PHP (my host doesn't allow either).

[HTM|YellowDog]

Wow, nice work, frogger. YDM

[HTM|YellowDog]

OK,

I added links to both of these server pages on the H-townmadness homepage, plus, on each of the server status pages I added a link at the bottom to bring you back to the home page. Hope that's aight. 8)

is all html.... i'll send it to you..

[{SBD}SJAndrew]

Frogger, have you been able to get the server to push the mapimage?

[frogger]

server won't push it...but i enabled it to download image from url..

[{SBD}SJAndrew]

I did that too.

I don't see the preview images on your status page or mine.

I did see them on another machine (but that was only because I loaded the clientside maps .jpegs).

Here's what I'm using:

<embed
name="SERVER NAME"
ip="66.76.48.29:7777"
width="400"
height="250"
game="UT2K4"
version="3.0"
_mapimage="http://home.comcast.net/~steve.denver/"
_pxskin="skin_darkgray"
pluginspage="http://q3px.khimtech.com"
type="application/x-q3px-plugin">
</embed>

It works fine except the preview images don't work.

[frogger]

hmm try without the trailing "/".... i have uploaded many new map images that were not included in the downloaded .jpgs...and they all show up. One thing i did notice is that the file extension needs to be .jpg.. .JPG does not work (note case).. otherwise i think it should work...the download of maps had two options when you install..one to install the images and another was something like 'let me see images'..so there may be some sort of code there that is necessary to see the images..


anyone else able to see images without that install..?

[HTM|YellowDog]

Not exactly sure what you meant... but...

In order to see anything, i had to download and install 2 progs

Hope that helps.

I've tried it with and without the trailing /.

I can also not see the images on your status page without the other 815k program installed (nothing more than a clientside map-pack).

But, strangely enough, I see the Torlan and AkBal maps (they're now located in my clientside map folder). So, it would appear that the serverside maps do nothing more than upload to the client third party maps provided by the webmaster.

In other words, I'm pretty sure this system doesn't work without the clientside map-pack.

can you try one more thing... remove akbal and torlan from your client side folder...and place them at the URL..this is what I am doing now. It pushes them that way.

My conclusion:
In order to see map images you need to install the map pack, which also somehow enables you to see map images that are not contained within that pack, provided they are located at the URL in your code..


(thanks YD...for input...helped)

I removed the AkBal and Goose2k4 maps from my clienside map folder. When I re-visited the page, the maps re-loaded from your server.

When I removed the entire clientside folder, the maps would NOT download again.

I think that all the serverside URL does is upload custom maps to the clientside map folder. In other words, I'm pretty sure that you will not see any maps without the clientside map folder installation.

i concur. when i get home i will add back the link at bottom to download the ut2K4 map install. thanks for troubleshooting..

[{SBD}SJAndrew]

Incidentally, I have added a server status page to my "website":

Check it out here:

[frogger]

very nice.. :D

[frogger]

SJ..checked my style mut settings...boost was set to false...i must have tried changing while server was running last time... should be enabled now..

Hi Frogger,

You can sure set it off if you want. I was just letting you know it wasn't working (I remember you saying it was on).

Anyway, thanks for turning it back on. And, my offer still stands. I would love to show whoever is interested how to boost. It can be a profound advantage on maps like Campgrounds, Asbestos, Compressed, Grendel, and AkBal.

[HTM|YellowDog]

And Goose..... one spot in particular allows you to get through a trouble spot quickly.

and I though I was a geek...

[frogger]

status page has been updated to show 5 servers now... thanks to fruit for the latest addition to our arsenal.. 8)

[FhaeTon]

Server ummmmmm yummy can I have fries with that?

[HTM|Minion]

Here is an updated page that shows all 7 servers if anyone is interested..I wish I could position servers so that I could see all 7 without scrolling with res set at 1024x768, however they look great at 1280x1024 :)

[HTM|cornflake]

I still can't get this to work. Damnit. :evil:

[HTM|Minion]

Are you using internet explorer or firefox as a browser Corn?

The only difference is the plugin goes to a different directory for firefox.

If you are using IE and have installed the plugin...what DO you see?

If I go to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\PLUGINS I will see a plugin in my folder that is called "npq3px.dll"..that is the plugin you need. If you are using firefox...put this plugin in the firefox plugin directory instead.

The page should look like this:

Wow! Now that's cool......but I don't see it. I do use iE and the plug in is in the correct directory. However, when I bring up the page, I just get a bunch of empty placeholders where the images should be. :(
