Stupid simple signature status script with simple scripted server savvy

Many of you already found the signature generator at https://poc.kag2d.com/siggen/kagstatus-simple.php?username=FliesLikeABrick

I also created a script which you can use in a tag to make a clickable link. Anyone who clicks this link will be redirected to a kag:// link which should open their client and auto-join them to the server (if it doesn't have a password).

I need to add some checks to it, but it should work now overall. The checks I need to add are: - Don't forward them to the kag:// if the server has a password - Only send a kag:// link if they're on windows (linux and mac don't have kag:// yet because they don't have KAG installers)

So for example, clicking on this image should join you to whatever server I was last on:



The BBCode for that is :

You can read more about KAG command line arguments and client autojoin on the wiki


(Not the one below, since that one is my real signature and links elsewhere:

As always, great job FLAB. :)

 

Please use it from poc.kag2d.com instead of r.u13.net - it has SSL and is where other example code will go in the future :)
I am going to delete the u13 copy soon and will be open-sourcing other code on poc.kag2d.com soon

 

This is amazing, simply amazing, I have an idea for an easy way to track who's online now hehehe.

 

Problems I've noticed so far: It just opens a link to the exact url without forwarding me anywhere.
Doesn't open up my KAG :/
I'll look into what I'm doing wrong on my end later.

 

BlueLuigi, are you on windows, with the latest build from today?

edit: and what folder is your KAG installed to?

 

I am.
X:/Programs/Games/KAG

But the last one I installed was /KAG 190, so I made a copy there to try and fix it. I'll try reinstalling the latest kag over what I have now. :)

 

Yep - and hopefully we'll have buddy lists before too long, that way you don't need to make a call for every single "buddy" you want to know the status of. I'm hoping to have multiple "lists" that one person can have, as well as joint lists that clans can share which list all members - then that list can be public or shared with certain other people. Then a single API call can be made to retrieve all lists or just specific ones. I've been brainstorming this on and off with shad for a little while now and have got some good ideas.

 

Yep I'm planning on using colors/etc to add some more info to the image tomorrow

 

teemo you should wrap your sig in a script that makes it click-to-join-able. very nice thought :) Soon I hope to send out what class a player is currently playing as and some other things, so that you could even show the right class and maybe even the right hat/head. the possibilities are endless, it'll just come down to what we have time to implement.

Straying slightly off-topic but still in a productive sense (which I think is acceptable for this kind of subforum) -- if a server status listed things like the player's class and then the player/info call provided what head/hat/etc a user plays with, you could potentially make a neat "server lineup" image from it -- that shows the red team versus the blue team, properly spriting each character. kinda like they're standing there all bad ass sizing each other up </random>

edit: also I meant to say nice sig

And for the kag:// redirector:

Added coloring of the server and user, as well as when they were last seen

Why don't you have that page using my click-to-join script? (in the first post) Just add an <a tag that points to something like https://poc.kag2d.com/joinme/kagstatus-joinme.php?username=USERNAMEHERE
