Server Banner

[Discovery UK]

It's not a bad idea. I think there is still a link to the "Online Players" page for GC in Korrd's signature, although the last time I checked it was broken (an issue with forwarding on majkp's routers).

I guess you could use a PHP script to extract the number of online players shown at the bottom of that document, and mirror it into a new script (maybe on the right hand side of the "Discovery" forum banner - the big blue section).

I am using a PHP/FLHook script to get serverload, uptime and NPC status for use in the signature, and on our homepage. I'm using a single script on cron to import the data to a database, as I have many images/pages calling the information, and it reduces lag/script calls on the server - meaning it updates every 2 minutes, not instantly (but to be honest, I think that's an acceptable compromise).

Maybe something like that could be adapted? If anyone wants, I'll give you the source.
