Let's say i have two servers. On the 1st one i want to install a plugin wich retrieves the num of active players on the 2nd server, in order to do something else later on.
How can i do that? maybe you guys have a small code or smth that does that
I tried looking at xredirect's source but it's too damn complicated for me at this time.

Thanks

i used that NATIVE few months ago and all worked smoothly. You do something wrong.

I also have 200+ ping..

What are the conditions are you using the plugin?
- Are you testing from your local to another server?
- Are the 2 servers far apart (such as a high ping)?
- Are you trying to get data from the same IP, or even the same server?

I tested the native on 5 servers, but all of them were in the same datacenter.

If the servers are far from each other you should change this task

PHP Code:

set_task( 0.1, "TaskReceiveServerInfo", iIndex, _, _, "a", SERVER_INFO_WAIT * 10 ); 


to a bigger delay, let's say at least 2 seconds instead of 0.1. That should give enough time to the other server to respond.

the 2 servers are "close" to each other, they're both hosted at the same company, the same datacenter (@DjOptimuS)
and no, i'm not tryign the get any data from the same server

EDIT: Ok i've changed the task interval to 2.0 seconds and sq_server seems to works fine but sq_players causes ~200 ping and won't show anything

EDIT2: Any example of using that function for redirecting a player to a server if it isn't full? thx
