Webbroadcast for non-admin
What I'd really like to see for SourceMod is a small part of the webinterface being accesible for all-users, which tells them the current status of the gameserver as it is...
Sort of like the queryscript MadCoder wrote a long time ago (MadQuery.php) but with some basic enhancements to make it more efficient.
I've been writing this for Source myself lately, with the added functionality to only carry out a server request if there hasn't been such one in the last 5 minutes. (To prevent serverconsole flooding up with status & stats & player xxxx )
(Demo -not yet finished- here:
http://www.un4given.nl )
I know there are already some scripts circulating the web that can output this information, but these can easily clog up your console if called upon multiple times in a small timeperiod.
Adding this feature to SourceMod should make sure everyone is able to set up such a page, giving the end-users a single place (the SourceMod webmanagement page) to configure both their webserver and game server information page.
If you're already building a webbased management page, then adding such a feature should be little to no work. If you're not about to admit this in SourceMod, I'd like to ask if you could then at least tell others how to easily acces the data concerning active players, kills, deaths and current map from the SQL database used to run the management page.
Best regards,
Tim
