Online Server Monitor

[melted349 43]

I'm setting up a webpage to go with our server we recently started hosting. US 863 Kansas City. I'm trying to make a php script work with the DayZ mod so that anyone can bring up this webpage and see if the server is running, how many players are on, and what version its currently on.

I'm trying to use LGSL (Live Game Server List) which is typically used by clans that have multiple game servers they want to list on their clan site. I just want to list our 1 DayZ server, but I haven't had any luck getting it to successfully work yet. Anyone else setup anything like this or maybe can point me in the right direction?

I appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks

Maybe talk to the DayZ Commander dev team? If they are using a language like C# .NET or something then their code is easily transferrable to a webpage. Perhaps you can set up a collaborative project of some sort.

Might be an option. Was hoping to keep this project a little more simple, just trying to get this going with the current query options available from ARMA 2.

I will save you! http://arma2.swec.se/server/list You can find your server on there, You can also download (or programatically read) the XML for your server, and its updated every 10 mins. Thats how we do it at http://www.dayzmod.co.uk :)

Gametracker.com works fine.

That is awesome, thank you for pointing this out!

I'm aware Gametracker.com works fine, I just added our server to it. It actually annoys me more now because I know it should work but there's probably an issue with the code that runs LGSL.

So I guess I'll either have to manually update the code for LGSL or write myself a webpage that reads the XML file for me.

Sorry was skimming boards on my mobile when I responded. Missed the LGSL part. I just use PHP for my site and edited the HTML coded banners into the page. Not sure about LGSL though.

I used GameQ PHP scripts for a while, but it tends to be extremely slow. I eventually removed it and replaced it with GameTracker. If you find any definitive solutions (preferably PHP) I would also be interested. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a simple page that defines if the server is Online or Offline and possibly list the amount/names of connected players.
