Website server listing.. Update.

[Vidiot_X]

Hi,

 

Still hard at work developing PUSC. I have setup a server listing system for PUSC on my site and you see it in action here:

 

Main Board Index

http://www.phoenixusc.com/board/index.php

 

Server info page

http://www.phoenixusc.com/board/serversboard.php?action=more_information&sid=5

 

I am using sort of a minecraft JSON query protocol which works over TCP and is supported by the PUSC server which means the server can report it's status to a website or to the PUSC client launch application similar to how SS's works.

 

The server listing on the site gets an update from the PUSC server every five minutes and reports who's playing, number of playes, the current map and more. You can even launch/run the PUSC client right from the website.

 

I have redesigned the server to be completely authoritative now correcting a clients state such as position and velocity. It seems to work well and allows the server to correct a client when it is out of position or is cheating. The system should 'nip cheating in the bud' as the only data the client sends to the server is moves and options data, no position or velocity data is sent.

 

So I am just about to test the new server and if that goes well it will not be to long before I can move onto other areas and bring PUSC to open beta.

 

Checkout the server listing.

Nice! I cant wait to try it!

 

You are suppose to join servers from the website? or from the client?

I cant wait to try open beta! 

Maybe I found a typo on the server listing page : Last updatei:

Thanks.

 

The board plugin I use was written by a Polish author and I need to fix his misspellings. Actually I am installing a new version of it tonight so I will fix it up.  It is based on GameQ which is an open source server listing PHP library which will allow PUSC user to setup server listings for PUSC on their own sites.

 

You are suppose to join servers from the website? or from the client?

 

 

You will be able to do both. Once you setup PUSC you will be able to click on 'join' from the webpage and it will run the PUSC client and log on to the server. You will also be able to use the PUSC client launch application which is similar in stye to Continuum's.
