Server Help

freakmonger

Anyone know how I can pull stats from the billing server and display them on a website? I.E. when you go to www.mysite.com/serverstats it will display the number of ppl in SSCX Powerball or it will display the top ten pilots in SSCX Chaos Zone, etc. There use to be a site (subspace.net maybe) that would display the zone populations, i've also seen some zone sites that display their zone population. Warzone has a form of what i'm trying to do http://www.wzctf.net/news.php See their top ten pilots, top ten squads etc on the right hand side. I talked with their webmaster and he gave me some of the source code used to do it, but for some reason I cant get it to work. He does pull the stats from the scores site though. You can contact me by e-mail at freakmonger@subspacenews.com if you would like to help me or need more information.

Thanks

I had a script that pulled scores from there but I don't know if I still have the source

Well to find the population of zones on a certain biller all you have to do is type ?zones. The top 10 squads I have no idea what they use to figure that out but the top 10 players can be found by simply typing ?top10.

I know this isn't a bot but until you get one you could probably manually do it, the player positions don't tend to change too much.

I had a script for grabbing the scores from the SSN stat's page back when L Chance + Altec ran it. As far as SSC, you'd need to parse the edome site somehow with PHP or some other method.

what I did was convert the table on edome into an xml file and then display that
