Intergrate a Server Status bar onto the front page. - sean24 - 01-10-2010
Lots of other gaming communitys and forums have a little box somewhere on the front page showing the amount of people on the server. Can we please have one of these too so that we dont have to start up Freelancer to know if the servers full ect ect...
Also: Can we have some new skins please? The only cool sort of one (blue solution) is starting to hurt my eyes and I think we should have some more colour variety and choice)

I'd like this.
It's quite easy from what I am told aswell. Disco UK have one up.
/summon Josh.
Skins - scroll to the bottom right of the page - there is a dropdown menu with the skins in.

If an admin is interested, Skype me and I'll share what I've got. Also, I already steal your player count data, along with your uptime data:P

' Wrote:It's quite easy from what I am told aswell.It's done by reading UDP packets returned from FLServer. They contain all the data that you are shown on the server list screen (and I also use them to determine uptime by saying if data is returned, server is good/up - if no data or partial data is returned, the server is experiencing loss/lag or is down - although on occasion there are just minor hiccups with packets getting lost on the vastness of the web).

Good idea. Notified Igiss on Skype, with link to this thread. His decision.

Good idea. A&L Guy's signature should be on the front page, not his signature!
