QuerySuperGlue

A php script to ping CSS servers woob'ers play on.

http://monkeycentral.co.uk/querysuperglue/∞ -- deprecated

Currently does:

• pings a few servers woob'ers play on, shows them up if they are on
• supports a click of a server to get more details stats (player list etc)
• can retrieve full player list/rule set (hidden feature)
• can fit in an opera sidebar, when supplied with the right query string
• handles timing out gracefully

Currently is not:

• multi-threaded (and probably never will be)
• reliable
• pretty

Please feel free to add ideas below:

Ideas

MarcR: an option of showing all players (through +/- collapsable blocks) on all servers

Lazy Bodeeen: <input class="inputbox" type="text" name="searchword" size="15" value="search..." onblur="if(this.value= =' ') this.value='search...';" onfocus="if(this.value= ='search...') this.value=' ';" />


MarcR: prehaps a my faves underneath where you can add your own servers to query and stored in a cookie or db with logins

• Login system with faves semi-functional. DougBarry (20050416)
• And is very buggy, so disabled. DougBarry (20050425)

MarcR: what about making the os, password, dedi, country, filter rather than order by ?

• Filter By working for map names, os, passworded, dedicated. DougBarry (20050416)

MarcR: span 'Unresponsive' across the map to age column for servers not pinged in the last xx seconds

ElRobbo: Ability to add non-woobers to query list.

Change Log

20050401

• Template system works (behind the scenes of course)

20050326

• CSS sorted, so it looks like QSG1.
• Stale server errors and failed first time ping bugs fixed.
• Player list reading works properly since steam update.
• Made URLs relative (full paths for everything was a bit OTT)
• Render arguments implimented behind the scenes.

20050314

• Completely re-writen mutlit-server info renderer, much better at information handling
• Re-write on single-server info renderer begins.
• Sorting is now only cached in an array when necessary, meaning faster viewing of server lists, on default view.
• Server information is now cached in db using XML, so a server which does not respond promptly will be ignored, and its previous cached status will be used. Leads to much more reliable page flushing.

20050313

• QuerySuperGlue deprecated in favour of new QuerySuperGlue V2.
