With UT99 you could poll servers for info. [MA]Altivec built a PHP page that polled [MA]'s servers for players, current maps, etc. Do UT2k4 servers offer this kind of access? It'd be great to have a Dashboard widget that would troll our servers ...

that could easily be accomplished. you might already know this, but widgets are simply webpages - really. here's some info on building your own widget...

Well we do seem to have a page like that^^. I think you r talking about actually polling the servers tho right?

If altivecs php script still works, then our work is cutout.

You could call quaqut with Java script to get the info from the target server then display it in with styled html. To get fancy you could have a popup list of servers to query and have an input field so the user could add servers. This is way beyound any html skills I have.

Here is how I used it in a simple Apple script:

Code:

do shell script "/usr/local/bin/quaqut -s 208.57.175.110;/usr/local/bin/quaqut -y 208.57.175.110"
set STATUS to the result
display dialog STATUS buttons {"Done"} default button "Done"

Not fancy but it gets the job done.

Cool. I'm just a designer and leave the scripting to the propellor heads. I'd love to see it happen though.
