Serverstatus, like w:et/cod?

(Paul) #1

Another fresh question that I think that should be discussed!

In many games, like W:ET but also the cod series you can fetch some important server data like ping/playername/slot/xp(frags)

The rating system splatterladder is also based on this xp (but it’s worthless these days). What I think, is that, if, and I hope that it will be included in brink too, you also need to give the kills/deads and other stats. It’s also interesting to know how many kills/deads and the team instead of only the xp count :wink:

CHeers! :riflenade:

You can do that in any idtech4 game iirc.

but that’s for those who know what they want the stats for, for an average person it could be useful in-game after the round or via a button while playing a round just like old school w:et days

This is about getting external information from a server not about ingame options.

As Anthony posted, that example works on all idtech4 based games, so I presume sites like splatterladder/battletrack/etc will pick up on these kind of implementations.
