Dynamic Signatures

[atambo]

A Dynamic Forum Signature that will querry your server and say the hostname, ip, players/playerMax, customizable graphics for the signature so maybe you make the graphic then the text is displayed over it...lol just an idea but I think it would be nice 8)

[Wojjie]

Good idea, I will have to design something that wouldnt eat too much bandwidth though. The customizable one can be for subscribers only then.

[Wojjie]

Done!

wow thats awesome :) thanx a bunch (think you'll ever add the way to make a custom background image?

[Wojjie]

Then people will be able to remove the Game-Monitor text.

I might do that for pay subscribers in the future.

[atambo]

heh the game-monitor text isn't that bad heh maybe there would be a way to have the game-monitor text show over the new image? also where do you subscribe (or is that not out yet)

[Wojjie]

Not out yet. I want to first offer enough features before making it available, I want people that subscribe to get the best bang for their buck. :)

This is great, but to reduce the number of images on a signature, can you try a rotation.

So, if i have 5 servers, the image shows the stats for 5 seconds, then rotates to the next server stats.

Thanks

Is it possible to give us the code you use to get the player status??

I want to have an online/offline status in my sig.

We will be providing XML feeds in one of the subscription packages, which you will be able to grab your online/offline status and server information very easily. We even coded a php SDK that you will be able to download freely and modify to your needs.

Hi! This sound's great! When can i expect to get the download??


Regards,

Mr NiceGuy.

[Wojjie]

Well, the SDK will only work with a subscription, and I hope to have it launched soon (this week hopefully).

[Mr NiceGuy]

So what you are saying, is that i have to pay to get my online/offline status?? Don't think i would pay for that... :roll:

[Wojjie]

Im saying to get the XML feeds you will have to pay, but to have a signature that will tell your offline/online status is still free for certain skins, the newer skins that do not have the Game-Monitor name well visible are pay signatures. The reason why alot of modules are free is due to it being funded by getting the Game-Monitor name out (advertising Game-Monitor).

The XML feed will be mostly used for Buddy Lists, and server information. If you are just 'one' gamer, you will probably not be interested in the packages that are due to be released soon, its geared for communities/clans, where you would have MANY custom player signatures at once.

Hard to explain it in so few words, I will link the page with all the information when I finish it.

[Mr NiceGuy]

Thank's for the words!

I understand what you are saying...

But what i wanted was to have the status in my current sig...

So, what i have to do, is to figure out how to retrieve the info.

Have searched all over, but nobody know's how!? But you... :?

But anyways, keep up the great work with game-monitor.

Regards.

The prob is I can not give you that feature for free like that. Otherwise everyone else will want it too, and I will be left dealing with millions of queries requiring extensive hardware to keep up and no funding. Reason why the current signatures are free is because they serve for advertising the site and bringing users here.
