website live score / data

[Corin]

Hi

There have been numerous PHP scripts to query server (displaying information such as hostname and map), and also rcon scripts to execute rcon commands...

I am trying to get a way for a website to read and parse logs from the server, live (not old log files)

CSS Servers have an option to add a log address, and I believe this then chucks the live stream of data to that IP.. can anyone make/show me php to:

a.) just read this and display it live on a webpage as it happens?
b.) have a live count of scores (ct 1 t 2, etc)
c.) detected when any player says a certain phrase (such as !command)

Many many thanks

Corin

I'm not sure if this does this but i like this very much, greycube.com. At the very least it would be a starting point for you.

greycube is a highly complex system, not a framework, nor is it anywhere near what I actually said

Hey just trying to help no need to get mad. And pretty sure looking at log files is the only way.

[Corin]

I didnt "get mad" I merely informed you that you were wrong.

Why are you saying you're pretty sure of something when what you actually mean "I dont have a clue about this so I'll take a wild guess".

In my first post I said (not asked, said) that its possible - if you dont believe me, go download HLSW and check it out.

All I don't know is how to use php to read the incomming logs

I dont think you're going to achieve this easily. HTTP is a stateless protocol, while HLSW is using TCP for a stateful connection, hence it can stream data like that. If you want to attempt streaming data, my guess is you're going to have to look into flash, a java applet or conjur up some fancy web 2.0 ajax to do it.

It's poor show comparing what HLSW written in C++/C#/.Net and it's functionality to something you want php to do.

metamod: source might have something for you. The IRC bot looks kinda promising for what you want to do.

You can have a java client load in a browser and auto join a channel where your bot is doing its thing.

if you want to do it with PHP, you will need a cgi-based, shell-based or c++-based daemon process on your server.
else take a look into the log-files on ftp - they can be configured to directly output your logs so they should be very near realtime

....Your totally right......
I misunderstood what you said, i didnt take a "wild guess." Then i didnt make it clear that when i said you couldnt do it. To show when someone said !command, you would have to use something like eventscripts to record the data. Then send it with the ip log address which you can also do with eventscripts. I'm almost 100% PHP cannot see !command without something like eventscripts.
Edit: Fixed grammar

Corin: You did get angry at Spartanfrog for no reasion, and that's a BAD (badbadbad) Idea since he's pretty much the #2 around here.

As for what you are saying, I know someone who probably can do it, IF it's possible.

I can't be sure he'll post it for ya though, he makes TONS of tools for himself and our server but doesn't publicly post much (currently).

[Spartanfrog]

Dam right Mooga lol. How does your friend do this? You are pretty lucky to have a friend that is able to do that. None of my friends can do that . But seriously, does he use php or something like eventscripts?

[Mooga]

I don't know if he does it with php, but I know he's made several customized java apps and more. I'm also running a php script he made that gives the top 20 players on our server preferred status.

[Spartanfrog]

lucky!

[Mooga]

This can not be done.

[Spartanfrog]

I called it first.
