LabRat Report post Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Hiya I have a new server and have cleared with Entropy to be the main mirror for the players online page. Players online full page (updated once every 30 seconds): http://elmirror.labby.co.uk/online_players.htm please note that currently this page is only suitable for javascript enabled browsers as it just sends a small javascript file and a list of bots and players online and lets your computer reconstruct the page. Players online text page (updated once every 30 seconds): http://elmirror.labby.co.uk/online_players.txt Bots online text page (updated once every 10 minutes): http://elmirror.labby.co.uk/online_bots.txt PK Server Players online full page (updated once every 10 minutes): http://elmirror.labby.co.uk/online_pk.htm PK Server Players online text page (updated once every 10 minutes): http://elmirror.labby.co.uk/online_players_pk.txt PK Server Bots online text page (updated once every 10 minutes): http://elmirror.labby.co.uk/online_bots_pk.txt The text files are ' ' (0x20, space) separated ready to be split. Please update your sources and bookmarks The pages can be grabbed every 30 seconds. Any donations towards the upkeep of the server are welcome (I even look kindly on gc!)

bkc56 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Can you also mirror the PK server page (not that it may matter much the way the population is declining )? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxbot Report post Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Awesome, can't wait until it displays bots too! Edited April 17, 2008 by Jaxbot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabRat Report post Posted April 17, 2008 First post amended to show changes. The site also mirrors bots online, although this page is updated only once every 10 minutes as the bots are fairly constant. I will talk to Ent about mirroring the PK players page.

LabRat Report post Posted April 19, 2008 The official page can only be parsed once every 10 minutes by bots to limit bandwidth usage. My mirror has a 30 second parse limit for bots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted April 19, 2008 The official page can only be parsed once every 10 minutes by bots to limit bandwidth usage. My mirror has a 30 second parse limit for bots. Entropy doesn't want the main page to get hit hard because that puts more of a load on the GAME server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torg Report post Posted June 11, 2008 Errr... LabRat, did you do something to the page/server?? I can't seem to access it any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabRat Report post Posted June 11, 2008 The server broke overnight, I have been up all night sorting it out. Hang tight, I am currently copying over the data I could recover. It wouldn't boot, I had to switch it to rescue mode - even the techs couldn't get the thing started. When I got there it was fun to say the least trying to get the data tar.gz'd up so I could start from scratch. Whatever happened is unclear, Learner's gonna staple me to a wall :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DogBreath Report post Posted March 25, 2009 Is there any chance you could set up something like this for the test server? I'm wanting to put some code in that will make the bots not try to pm someone unless they're logged in. I'm also trying to solve the problem where the bot tries to pm someone named "XYZ" and that person isn't logged in, but the person "XYZ*" is, and they're getting the pms. I can read the live data to simulate but then I end up breaking the time limits. I only have one process reading these pages, but due to the lack of a test page, I'm breaking the limits from time to time. If it's too much for some reason, or you have an alternative solution, please let me know. Thanks, DB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greypal Report post Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Since there might be some demand i can provide a set of urls showing main server online players/bots: i implemented this after labrats service vanished, since some of my bot features requires them. http://elmirror.el-fd.org/online_players.htm just a copy of the original, enhanced by a baseurl pointing to game.eternal-lands.com http://elmirror.el-fd.org/online_bots.txt single line with space separated botnames http://elmirror.el-fd.org/online_players.txt single line with space separated playernames http://elmirror.el-fd.org/online.txt contains two lines with space separated names, beginning of line is "Players: " or "Bots: " atm the update frequency is 10 minutes, if radu agrees i will increase the pace up to 30 or 15 seconds All files are derived from only one transmission from the game server It is also no problem to provide a mirrored online list for the PK server as well when radu agrees and provides me an url. I am also able to provide continouos service when doing server maintenance, in that case the ip address may change, so please dont use static host entries. If there is some need in having other lists derived from the raw data, contact me. Edited February 5, 2010 by Greypal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
