I host a service that does this, with little status lights, but due to server changes, it is currently not functional. I will probably get around to this at some point tonight.

Keep an eye out there!

Thanks !! will keep an eye on it

Oeps ... "eye" closed for some seconds.. anything yet??

Someone asked about host information via lfsworld the other day, but i forgot who that was so i can't ask a follow up question. I'll do it here then
I've made something like this isonline icon stuff, but then for hosts. And not with an icon, but it outputs host status in text in HTML. The point of that is so that people can very easily put not only their host status but also its details on their own website, or whereever iframes are supported.

But now I'm just wondering a bit about how to make it look and :

1) do people want this to begin with? (host status shows all host settings and users, usable in an iframe only)
2) should i just give it a default look and if people want to they can give me a css file and i'll make that usable with the hostoutputs so people can make it fit into their website?
3) any other ideas?

guess i should split this off to a new thread soon :P

Everything in the iframe with default look or load own CSS styles. This is what I would want.
You could load your own CSS style on your account at lfsworld.net. There you could also adjust which data you want to get in the outputs.

Here's a very default look for those who want to give it a try : http://www.lfsworld.net/hoststatus/?h=Blackwood%20XFG%20XRG
Hostname needs to be an exact match for now. To make your own CSS you should just have a look at the source. Those who know CSS are bound to know where to look
I'll have a think about CSS being editable on lfsworld.

Nice. By the way about the exact form. It was meant for example like this: ^1Team ^7e^1NET^7i^1S
In result we get this: Team eNETiS (the "e" & "i" are white colored)
http://www.lfsworld.net/hostst ... h=^1Team%20^7e^1NET^7i^1S

And here comes next idea. You could add legend for the letters at the "Settings" row same as it is at lfsworld.net >> Racers & Hosts online >> Hosts - and in the bottom of content is the legend:

Legend:
-V you may vote
-S you can select tracks
-Q race qualify is enabled
-P private host
-F forced cockpit view
-C cruise server
-R host is connected to the InSim Relay
-R+ host uses Relay's anti-shortcut option (*)
-m join mid-race allowed
-p forced pitstop

EDIT: Maybe with the legend it will too much comprehensive. This could be also adjustable at lfsworld (if you want to show it or not).

yeah and some people may want to put more than 1 hostinfo frame on their website - there wouldn't be a need for the legend on all of them. I think people could add it on their end the best really and leave the hostinfo frame for actual dynamic data.

Hmm, yes you are right, didn't of it like this :/. Ok, last question.

I checked one my host: http://www.lfsworld.net/hostst ... ^4LFS%20Action%20^1Racing
The host is connected to the InSim Relay and the host uses Relay's anti-shortcut option, but I don't see R or R+ in hostinfo . What's wrong?

EDIT: Now the R works. Victor is probably working on it.

edit: irrelevant.

I put together some userbars to get us rolling. Pretty sure someone could turn out something a bit more cool tho. Orionnnn!?

i like these, did they ever get implemented?

i found this too small for people like me with big honking screens.

hey victor, mine's been acting up over the past few days... for some reason, the number of laps ends up wrong.

on the gt-m servers, i run 6 laps unless the track is kyoto-national or westhill, which run 4 laps instead. right now it says gt1 is running 6 laps on kyoto...

restarting the server corrects the issue temporarily, but that's a pain. any ideas?

one thing i just thought of, before i hit submit, this seems to have happened around the time i switched from lapper to airio... that wouldn't do this, would it?

ok, and now this is even weirder... lfsworld says it's also running 6 laps...

If you update the amount of laps in the lobby screen, there is no statistic sent to lfsworld. Only when the 'race starts' (exit lobby screen and go onto track) it learns about the updated number of laps. Or at least, that's what my test just now showed.
I guess it can be seen as a bug, because when you change track for example, then that change is reflected on lfsworld immediately. And also, upon that change, it should have told me the (new) number of laps, but it still had the old number.
So I'll make a note for Scawen to look at. And I think I spotted another bug too, so that's two bug reports in one

gotta bug you again...

today i checked my statii and i see this:

Quote :

Mode: Demo, Race 5 laps
Track: Blackwood Car Park
Cars: XFG, XRG

forgive me for being braindead (i just got off work :shrug, but i thought demo users couldn't drive on the car park?

edit: it seems that it appears that way on lfsw too... (how come if i set /mode=s2 it keeps changing back and forth? :shrug

Demo racers can drive at all Blackwood configs except REV.

This is awesome, but some more info when you are not offline could be nice Like what server you are currently on, in case someone wants to join
But we can't use it here.. No images in signature

It's the only way. You should post your questions in that thread and not in this one.

i Have a Moonfruit Free hosting website.. and i am trying to get this to work so people know when my members are online and what not. does anyone have experience with moonfruit.com if so please help
Thanx, [DM]Rabbit

You should check how you can put images on your page. If you can link directly to an image via bbcode or html, then you can simply point the image to http://www.lfsworld.net/isonline.LFSUSERNAMEHERE using the approriate bbcode tag or <img src="" ... /> html tag.

If instead you have to upload your images for them to show up on your webpage, then it will not work.
