Title: Server numbers on the webpage?
Post by: Krusty on November 25, 2005, 12:18:22 PM

Is there any chance to get a "server status" page that simply shows a list of the arenas and the number of players currently logged on? Just like the join screen, but on the webpage?

Just curious. I think it might be helpful once in a while.

Be nice if we could read the radio chatter also, maybe only 200 and the system messages ....

I think it would seriously lag the server to install chat clients on the webpage, because it's just one more source that has to be processed and/or transmitted. The chat takes up so much of the processing and bandwidth that constant kill messages were cut out (now you only get your name in lights when you land!).

I think that would make things worse. Plus it leaves things open to abuse (DOS or spying or whatever)

Fair enough but it would still be nice  to have the number of players on line available
