[WEBSITE] server list hardly working

[Squidward]

server list has been quite buggy in the past, but it's at the point where it's just hardly working at all

really inconvenient when I just want to see how many people are on the server, or as an easy way to join the server (join button disappears when server is 'offline')

Yeah can confirm it's inaccurate a lot of the time

[Juck]

maybe your 1,085 alerts are crashing the forums

[PhoeniX]

Yeah they usedc to be buggy all the time for me


and Juck i have 1.2k alerts lmao

can confirm happens usually :/
but meanwhile you can use gametracker instead which is always up.

we get it you want admin

So we use this MyBB plugin:
https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?action=view&pid=117

We aren't using the latest version as it has issues.
Even the version we have has issues, it queries the servers once every X minutes and caches the result (so if the query fails, it'll show as offline for X minutes).

Yeah I agree its pretty crappy.
If people don't mind something that doesn't look too pretty I can make something basic up that caches values over 1 minute.
It'll be pretty accurate but it will basically be a page telling you server name, map, players and that is about it.
Might use gametracker API if they have one.

Also the Discord cog parses that page so when the forum one is broken, Discord one also breaks.

Thoughts?

dont think thats a bug, i think those are the actual server numbers. well, at least surf is right, not sure about the others.
