Online Map Fix: v2.5

An online map so you can watch what's happening on your server without joining the game. I made it for my own purposes and wanted to share with you guys. It's my first plugin so don't be to hard with your judgement. Most of the credit for helping me with the code goes to Arkshine

Online preview: (Note: The server could use a testversion that is not released yet)
currently offline: http://onlinemap.waweasy.com/

How it works:
It acts like a webserver that creates JSON data that can be fetched with a little jQuery - even if it's not on the same domain. You just have to set up the server ip in the index.php and you're good to go. It works on port 1107 (TCP) but you can change that if you want.

I tested it on a server with some bots and it always worked fine. If you have any suggestions on making it even better go ahead.


How to use Online Map:

1. Requirements

- a running hlds server with counter strike 1.6 mod ;)
- port TCP 1107 has to be opened on the server!
- sockets2 (by Bugsy https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1573388)

2. Prepare your webspace

You now have to download and unzip the onlinemap.zip. Open the index.html and edit the line

PHP Code:

window.server = '127.0.0.1'; 


to fit your needs. For example your server has the IP 85.114.13.88 then the line should look like

PHP Code:

window.server = '85.114.13.88'; 


Save it. Now you can upload the whole unzipped folder to your webspace put it whereever you want it.

You can leave the port as it is. But if you want you can use the CVar "sv_onlinemap" to change the port how you want it.

3. Adding custom overviews (not necessary)

Open the overview file you want to add with some kind of image editing program (e.g. Photoshop, Paint.net). You can swap the green background with the color (Hex #404040) if you want. Then save it as jpeg into the onlinemap/overviews folder. Next step is to add the overviews txt-file (<mapname>.txt) to the onlinemap/overviews folder and thats pretty much it. The overview file should now be recognized and working with Online Map.



Update 2.2

Fixed some bugs.
Updated the onlinescripts - now working without PHP ;)

Update 2.3

Rewrote the code. Should be more efficient now.

Update 2.4

Fixed a problem where strings > ~ 2000 could not be sent.
Press space and see the stats.

Update 2.5

Fixed a bug where the bomb didn't disappear when planted after round end.

Wow, really nice job!

Sounds cool
But if mod is mod like furien that players have speed or if server have noclip, does it shows player fast or player going inside walls?
And if have semiclip does it shows players getting inside of others players?
If yes to both, man thats awesome

[silkker]

it basically just gets the coordinates of the players so it will show the real speed and the real position - even if they are like standing in walls or something.

WOW .. this is great work! .. I think of this Take advantage of 10000 people.

It reminds me of Psycholive, plugin I've converted long time ago.

About your plugin, there are room for improvements.
Considering you use a task to 0.1s, it would be a good idea to keep that in mind, and using as less as natives you can, for the purpose to have an efficient plugin.

Some random remarks :

- You use 4 times socket_send, can't you concatenate to one string and using one socket_send ? Others place too, try to use one string when you can.
- It would be more appropriate to use static instead of new.
- Precompile the regex pattern
- Use formatex, faster.
- Instead of using get_playersnum, and is_user_connected, use get_players. You save a lot of natives call.
- Don't declare variable inside a loop

Start with that.

This is an awesome work. I will definitely be trying this plugin on.

Son rly GOOD JOB!

[silkker]

Update 1.1

socket_send is now more concentrated and used less often.
Now instead of "new", "static" is used to declare variables.
The regex pattern is now precompiled and it doesn't have to do it every 100ms.
Instead of format, formatex is now used.
The variables are now declared outside of the loop.
