Title: Quick Way to Check Who's on the Servers
Post by: vindimy on January 26, 2009, 03:45:30 PM
Hey all!

Just wanted to share with you a quick way to see who's playing on OA's popular servers :D Sometimes firing up the game and checking each server one-by-one is too time consuming... There is a better way:

^ This link uses a script qxmon.net/q3mon-spy.pl and passes server IP's/port #s to it... You can experiment with it and build your own page!

Oh, that's right... I guess I could have my own Q3Mon then.

My issue was that I tried to compile GameTrakker-3.6 (it integrates MRTG and QStat) and couldn't get through all the errors. It's a nice package that provides usage graphs, averages, and everything. Hasn't been maintained, though :(

EDIT: here's example of GameTrakker results: http://bohramt.de/GameTrakker/ (http://bohramt.de/GameTrakker/)

I use GameQ ? or something for this browser http://clanarena.org/browse/getdata_71.php

I got help from jack thompson initially (link to the tool is at base of page) but use both qstat and gslist to generate the server lists.

the quick way is a program called Qtracker
Qtracker has built in OpenArena support
