Quake 4 Webserverstatus ?

Post by **Mistralis** » Tue Dec 27, 2005 2:56 pm

Hi there,

im brand new to Quake 4 and we just got our Quake 4 Server online. Now i am searching for a PHP Script, which will check the name, players playing atm ... and so on.

Does anybody know how to get one ?

Best regards,
Mistralis

Hiya, eastiest way (imo) really is just to use qstat and parse the output into whatever format you want really if there's no actual Q4 specific script about. (feel free to shout if stuck as I can possibly cobble something together, but you'd need to be able to exec qstat from your website which stops some websites).

kquery is also a very good site for query stuff if only php, http://dev.kquery.com/index.php?article=44 shows breakdown of doom3 which I imagine is very similar. On the forums there are various query scripts as well, just can't see a specific Q4 one atm (may well be worth asking someone there).

I don't have enough time to look for you being I'm heading out the door for work.

But check the following thread:

Dedicated Server Config + Website Server Browser / Monitor

I'm almost sure what your looking for may be in there. If not your bound to find an answer from one of these guys here.

Well of course!!! The program will run and update server status with an html type page. You'd have it running on your system taskbar polling and updating the server status and updating the html.

I just thought he'd like the actual php scripting type that he asked about.

I didn't even think about that program. *DOH!*

*waves* Lo Denz. By the way. PM'd ya

Ur right, it is a script witch watches a server status. But i want to implement it to our homepage and if you visit our homepage, the script will check how many players are playing and print out the results

Yeah, this is the Pearl one i already found. This is excatly what i want but its in Perl

I think i have to convert or write it by myself if i have enough time for it

Thanks again!

If you do end up re-doing the script or find one that works for you?

Please share it with us. So you can help someone else with that same
question

Do you have access to run binaries on your server from php (i.e qstat) ? Or php only ?

Its PHP only. Thats why i need to query the server by the php script. And i think this will be the biggest problem

I don't suppose you are using php 5 at all as I think there's a script (but haven't tested it), or if not I may have a bash at doing a script to work in Q4 php 4.3.x.
