Serverstatus Script

It displays some basic information about a multiplayer NWN server. Providing it is visible over the internet, then there are no extra requirements (ie no database or special router settings) needed. The script needs to know the address of the server, so its address needs to be fixed, either by using a fixed IP address or a DNS service (we use dyndns). I decided to stick the script here after this thread on the BioBoards, which is why the code uses that server’s address.

Example output:

Server Address: legacyofnetheril.servegame.org:5121
Server Status: Online
Players: 3 / 24

After it choking on a few Bioware 2da files that were badly formed and having to start again each time, I got the out.sql file finally. I only needed to make minor changes to for it work with mySQL. I tested it by importing it into a mySQL database. I didn’t bother to do anything with the Bioware 2da files it didn’t like, most were empty anyway.

Syntax Highlighting?

As NWscript is supposed to use C syntax, I’ll try that and see if it is nicer than PHP.
