Topic: Doom server monitor for other gaming servers (HL, CS, etc)

Could this widget be modified to monitor a half-life or couterstrike server, for example?

Since I don't play either of those games, I'd be happy to work with you or whomever to support them.

So how would one configure your widget to monitor a TeamSpeak client?

Thanks!

I would have to modify the code to produce a skin appropriate for the game, or teamspeak server.  What i get back from qstat is XML which I have to parse and render.

I'm hoping by having this thread people can prioritize which games I should add support for.  It would be great if there were beta testers/other developers.

Or you could just release one that has a fairly neutral skin and is user configurable, which would save you a lot of time and make things easier for us users (not having to hunt down the widget for the game we want, assuming you prioritized it).

It's not that easy... what comes back from the qstat differs depending on the type of game server, so I still have to make some decisions about which data makes sense for which server type.  Having said that, I can offer an unformatted screen for not yet supported versions which would just dumps raw data.  It would be ugly, but might speed up the discussion about what to support.

By the end of April.

Re: Doom server monitor for other gaming servers (HL, CS, etc)

well, I vote for HL. :>

Re: Doom server monitor for other gaming servers (HL, CS, etc)

I would have to say Quake 3, ut2k4, and all the gamespy stuff.
