Server Live Stats
 

I was hoping to get live stats on any server I chose (playercount, players online, RCs online, etc). Any idea how I would do this?

I think rick did something like this using ruby on rails.

Is there any way to do this with PHP? :p

edit: Nevermind, that was for a specific server.

You can view stats here: http://statistics.graal.us/

You could even have a PHP script scrape the data.

Thats what I am doing currently, But I was hoping to get a little more in-depth than statistics.graal.us does.

Why dont you ask Björn? He made some live stats for GK on his GK Lib.
http://graal.logic-games.net

That would require a webserver communication setup on the server. I was wondering how to get stats from a server without webserver communication set up on that server

You'll either need to parse information from statistics.graal.us periodically, write your own script and put it on every server or become a global and get the information from the clientside using Client-RC. Only the first is really feasible, as you can imagine.
