Web query for server status

[mikesheen]

Hi,

I can see from http://starmade-servers.com/ that there is a way to query a server and report the online state and the number of current players. I want to add this same functionality to my website. I've done this with my Minecraft servers, using Python before - but I just need to be pointed in the right direction for some guidance on the network protocol as it relates to StarMade - I can't seem to find that information.

Thanks,

Mike

I have the StarMade.jar file loaded up in netbeans right now looking for that and some of the in game events like chat messages... I\'ll post back if I find the info you are looking for.

[Edit]: The information you are looking for can be found here: org.schema.schine.network.server.ServerListener

For those interested in the chat bit I mentioned it can be found here: org.schema.schine.network.ChatSystem

@Mods, please provide us with a development category! I am tracking my findings here for now: http://forum.modembug.com/yaf_topics22_StarMade.aspx

I\'d like to have more info about querying a Starmade server with php. Please let us know !

I\'ve written a PHP class that queries the starmade server and returns the same info you\'ll find on starmade servers.

As there\'s NO information on the protocol, I had to reverse engineer it. Seems to work well, but might break given a significant change to the protocol.
If that happens, I\'ll release a fix as needed.

I could turn it into a webservice, but that has the potential for abuse. Putting it here incase someone else needs this kind of function on their website.

Download it here.
