LfS S2 Server Script [Archive]

VorTeX3k

12th August 2005, 09:23

PHP Script for retreaving all informations from a server.

Features:
Read out all server informations, including server status, LfS version, number of online users, current racers online, selected track, allowed cars, race length and qulification length.
List of all present drivers
Correct formatting of servername and racernames
Creation of LfS Join link
Multi-language support

The script requires webspace with PHP functionality. Also access to the hostXXXXX.txt file of the gameserver is required. This can be either by FTP or HTTP.

All you have to do is to configure the file "_data_config.php" included in the archive, which includes all informations about the connection to the server. Afterwards you can upload all files and use it.

By default the output of the script will be written in English. If you want to change the language to another one (for example German or Spanish), you can change the according parameter in the _data_config.php file. A list of supported languages can be found in the release notes.

If you use this script on your site, please place a link to our website (http://www.Octrin-Racing.net) by using the image file included to this archive. Thanks!

If you have any questions, problems or suggestions you can post your feedback in here or contact me by ICQ.

Recent changes (version 1.9)

Added new track from Patch Y "South City Chicane Route"
Added new car from Patch Y "Formula BMW"
Added additional check if file exists to avoid errors in output

Thanks for your commendation.

Maybe someone is here, who can translate me ~20 simple lines into some languages like French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Dutch?

I would be really happy about that :)

First of all thanks to Dannel for the spanish translation :)

Now version 1.3 is out (has gone quickly, right? ;) ) which includes spanish translation. Also I've changed the language detection function to be more dynamically.

Hey you two, thanks for your translation! I will implement them in the next 1.5 version.

@jscorrea: what exactly does not work with the script?

First of all check if the path to your hostxxxx.txt file is correct. The PHP script should of course be run on a HTTP webserver.
Then check the filename of the hostfile on the game server (which should be accessed by ftp or http) and check, if the number fits the port you have entered in the config file.

If it still does not work you may send me a folder structure info of your gameserver (beginning from the root of your ftp login) and the settings of the script by pn.

Can anyone put this in a block?

I have tried with no luck...

Great script by the way.

My internet service provider does not support getting data from other providers, so I must find another one :pillepall

1st September 2005, 11:15

In a block? Sorry, I must be having a dumb day, because I'm not following...

I think you mean that your host doesnt allow for you to use sockets. Shame, but a lot of hosts do this to prevent exploits, preserve bandwidth and prevent leeching :(

Iceberg

1st September 2005, 11:47

I mean in a block :)

If it was possible to put the script in a block, you could have the server status on the frontpage off your php site. Like "who is online"

This would be very nice :nana:

I have placed you in our link section now.
Do you know how to make the join link to the server I am online at?
I don´t know how to place it when it is a variable server (not always DPRT #2) eg. <a href="lfs://|DPRT.dk%20/#1|0|S2|/>

VorTeX3k

13th September 2005, 11:50

Thanks for the link :)

To make this variable link you first have to gather the information from lfsworld which server you are on, afterwards you can create a link using PHP echo output with a variable that contains the specific servername:
echo "<a href='lfs://|$servername|0|S2|/'>Join Iceberg</a>";

But the main point is to contact lfsworld and parse the hostlist to find out which server the specific player is driving on. This information has to be stored in a variable which can be used for the LFS-Join link creation.

Hello folks,

unfortunately the download link is currently down, because our website will be done new from the scratch.
It will come back on with a new version, because I now received several reports about bugs that make the script act strangely when used several times in boxes on a website.
So I'll try to fix those bugs and put the script back on :)

thx

VorTeX3k

25th October 2005, 14:14

wow, first of all especially frank for being my stand-in support ;) i will upload the script to my private webspace soon, so all of you can download it from there, too.
as i said the new version will be released with our new website. and it started ;) but before the website was finished another crash happened to it and now our webmaster (ThunderX86) got sick. but I'll see if i can publish it on my private website. but for this it has to be finished ;)

@mikjen: for this you would need some kind of cronjob that permanently would call the script, and also the script would need to be modified to log all informations. for all of this you would need a root-server. so it's not really realizable this way. or need some kind of application that's connected to the server via in-sim.

//edit: ok, here's a download link of the script :)

VorTeX3k

10th November 2005, 15:02

Finally, here it is!!

Took a long time, but now Version 1.5 is finished! The most important fix is that the script now supports multiple servers at once what made some problems before.

The changes in version 1.5:
Support of Swedish language (thanks to FEL)
Brazilian Portugese translation (thanks to JSCorrea)
Added the tracks "Fern Bay RallyX Green" and "Fern Bay RallyX Green Rev." which have been forgotten to be implemented :)
Completely re-wrote the main structure of the script to make the script now working with several servers at once.
Changed the way of setting the language: Language will now be set by variable in the configuration section of the script.

It's important to read the readme.txt, too if you have used the script before since some parts mainly changed!

Hi!

I have just installed this great scritp :thumb: !

But, so far I have noticed at least 3 issues:

1] As all cars are allowed on the host, the script should report "All". But it does not - it reports all 18 car types.

2] If the host is configured for training (i.e. laps=0), a reasonable output from the script should be "Training" - not "0 lap"

3] In a comment in the script, it says that the default port for the host is 63396. The corrrect default port is 63392.

Here you may find my output: http://rm8s.net/smfForum/index.php?page=35

hi misjka,

thank you very much for your informations and this bug.

I will take care about this as soon as possible, i think this evening :)

misjka

14th February 2006, 16:30

No sweat :schwitz: :D !

Btw, there is a misspelled variable! Check all $showLanuage instances :smileypul !

Really enjoy this script, never the less :thumb: !

But: I would really like to see whether the host is public or private, though...

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 10:00

Ok, i fixed the points from your posts :) Thanks a lot for this.
But: I would really like to see whether the host is public or private, though...
Do you mean private = password protected or private = not in server list (usemaster=no) ?

misjka

15th February 2006, 11:38

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 13:09

Gr8 :thumb: !

I mean private = password...

And btw, I would very much have all the host variable config parts in a separate cfg or php file since it would make an update easier in my opinion... Is that possible to do?

EDIT: But, qué?? I downloaded the script again, but the errors remained...
Yes, seperated config file could be possible.

Ok, so i'll make those changes and right AFTERWARDS you can download it ;)

You still downloaded the old version, since the new one is not yet online ;)

misjka

15th February 2006, 13:15

Thanks, m8 :thumb: :D !

misjka

15th February 2006, 13:35

Yo :Looking_a !

It seems that my host still shows up on the Server Script page, although I shut it down an hour ago :pillepall ... Have a clue how that delay occurs :shy: ?

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 13:35

Ok, i've released a new Version 1.6 :) The downloadlink can be found in the first post of this topic and of course here:

http://www.gjl-network.de/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=1

ALL: Please be aware! All configuration has to be done in the file _data_config.php by now!! So mainly you can leave the file server.php as it is and does not need to be edited!

Of course a lot of thanks to misjka for your ideas, suggestions and bug reports! :D

Yo :Looking_a !

Well, your hostxxx.txt file will still remain, but the script should show the message "server is offline", doesn't it?

//edit: *douh* forgot to implement the public or private status of the server. will fix this immideately ;)

misjka

15th February 2006, 13:55

Nope... It says Online...:shrug: Look here (http://rm8s.net/smfForum/index.php?page=35)(and try to join via Join2LFS, you'll get "host not found")...

Sure, no sweat :schwitz: m8 :D . Glad I could contribute to an excellent script!

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 14:01

What webserver are you running on?

I expected such problems on IIS my IIS webserver. But with my linux based apache it works without any problems.. strange.

Btw: the new version including ALL changes is now online ;)

misjka

15th February 2006, 14:16

Do you mean the webserver that is hosting the script? It's a Unix/Apache...

OK, thanks! Gonna dl now :).

misjka

15th February 2006, 14:34

Seems to work like a charm now - much obliged :thumb: ...

About the online/offline issue, it seems that the host file didn't get updated... And I now why: I killed the dedihost by the windows X button :). It's a shame, though, that the host file is erased as the host is shut down properly... It makes the script occupy the browser for quite some time until it is timed out... With several dedihosts, that are not 24/7, it will become quite slow...

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 14:45

Mh.. yes.. Ok, I thought the host file will remain if the server will be shutdown. So I'll think about this problem and how to solve it. Thanks for your investigation :)

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 14:56

ok, now you can maybe download the script again and try it out?

Dunno why, but I did no check before trying to open the hostfile.
So now the script will check if the file exists, if not, it will ouput a message: Server is offline

misjka

15th February 2006, 15:01

OK, i'm right on it :)!

misjka

15th February 2006, 15:05

Sorry, got: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/xxx/public_html/.../server.php on line 128

And, mmm... for security reasons, you maybe should create an index file that doesn't allow browsing of the script folder...?

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 15:07

Douh *slam*

Forgot one )

Don't have any testing oppurtinities atm. Sorry ;) So now it should work.

No, a index file will not be delivered by me, because of several reasons:
- Often the script will simply be included, so the path or folder of it isn't visible at all
- Often the script is located inside a folder where an index is already located
- even if it's possible to browse the folder: you don't have any possibilities to get the server config or so, because a PHP script will ALWAYS be parsed before it gets delivered to the user, so if the user would request the _data_config.php file (even with right click -> save as) he would only get an empty html site :)

So this should be no security problem although its a user responsibility to "lock" the used directories on a webserver. I cannot assume that the script will be located in an empty or in an index-containing folder ;)

misjka

15th February 2006, 15:16

Sry, it hangs all time high now :shrug: ... As I use the Stop button in the browser I jus get Server is offline all over the place... Looks like some kind of iteration loop or something...

Check it out (http://rm8s.net/smfForum/index.php?page=35)

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 15:25

Douh, yes... omg... shoot me if there will be something with the next test ;)

you can download it again :) sorry for penetrating you ;)

misjka

15th February 2006, 15:31

OK - bam, bam ... consider yourself shot, then :razz: !

1] Good news: Offline works :thumb:
2] Bad news: Online does not :Looking_a

At least one of the two servers is online, but both turn up as Offline...:pillepall Check it out...!

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 15:33

Ok, I'll shoot myself at the evening ;)

Will now go home, so i will be back at about 6pm and will work on this :) Thanks and cu later ;)

misjka

15th February 2006, 15:36

Hehe, ain't that a contradiction or are you gonna work "on the other side of life" as well :D ?

No sweat... Just fun to test :thumb: .

I'll be back tomorrow at noon I think... Peace out :).

VorTeX3k

15th February 2006, 16:39

Well.. unfortunately there's no good solution for this problem. I will investigate this even more but until now it looks like a chance would be the opendir() function to do a file_exists() check afterward but opendir() will not work on remote- or FTP server when running on PHP4.x. This only works with PHP5.

So until now I'll keep it the ugly way to let the script wait for a timeout if the host file does not exist. But I'm working on this.

misjka

16th February 2006, 09:52

OK, but this means that the curren version 1.6 doesn't work at all since it reports "Server offline" whether the host is offline or not... :shrug: Will you withdraw the 1.6 release for now, then, and maybe just release a 1.5b version with the separate setup/config file...?

misjka

16th February 2006, 12:41

Btw, I would appreciate a Join! and Specatate! link beside the LFS hostname... The former to start LFS and the latter to start LFS Spectator... Is that achievable... In version 2, maybe :scratchch :D ?

VorTeX3k

16th February 2006, 13:17

No, 1.6 works but it has the problem that the script's waiting for timeout, if the hostfile does not exist.
But it's usable ;) So it's all this version 1.6 but without a check if the file exists (because this check caused that "server is offline" problem even it was online).

About your 2nd post: Is there some tool like Join2LFS that maps a specific protocol type to itself but for LFS Spectator? If not, there's no possibility ;)

misjka

16th February 2006, 14:04

Thanks, Vortex - will dl again 'n' check it out! Much obliged!

About the 2nd issue, you maybe should have some kind of collaboration with the creator of LFS Spectator...? Maybe in "the good for the LFS community" or something ;)?

VorTeX3k

16th February 2006, 14:06

Lol ;) Of course, I have. Currently he's very busy with another project. But I can ask him, by time he maybe will expand Join2Lfs

misjka

16th February 2006, 14:14

Sounds gr8 :thumb:

misjka

16th February 2006, 14:35

OK, seems to work as you implied :).

But, I wonder: Sure it must be a dedihost bug that the status line in the host file isn't changed to offline...? If that is corrected we wouldn't have the problem in the first place...?:Looking_a

VorTeX3k

16th February 2006, 17:43

Well, that's a wired question. I also wondered about this.

It's the question if this behaviour that the host file will be deleted is as it should be. I (of course from my side ;) ) would suggest to keep the hostfile when shutting down the server. Otherwise I have no idea, why it has this line "status" ;)
Maybe we have luck and Scawen has a short look inside this topic. Otherwise, I'll try to contact and ask him.

misjka

16th February 2006, 18:35

Would be great to get this sorted out, yes :thumb: !

misjka

17th February 2006, 13:02

Yet a proposition: Would be gr8 if one may see the S1/S2/Demo mode of the host as well...:)

VorTeX3k

17th February 2006, 14:41

Not possible ;) This is not logged in the hostfile. Except Scawen would implement it.

misjka

17th February 2006, 14:44

Well, almost a bug then ;)!

VorTeX3k

20th February 2006, 07:25

More a feature request ;)

felplacerad

20th February 2006, 08:57

kind of a long shot and an ugly way to do it, if you parse setup.cfg instead of hostx.txt you'll be able to extract the mode data.

also, i've disabled the "built-in" online/offline checker in vortrex3k script and replaced with my own, it goes like this:

<?php
$lfs_ip = "localhost";
$lfs_port = "63392";

$output = @fsockopen("$lfs_ip", $lfs_port, $errno, $errstr, 0.01);

if (!$output) {
$status = "offline";
} else {
$status = "online";
}
@fclose($output);

// and then ...

if ($status == offline) {
echo "status: offline
} else {

// all the output from vorts script ...

}

misjka

20th February 2006, 09:06

Gr8 move, FEL. Would be nice if you could collaborate about this and make a final (well...) product that anyone in the LFS community might use, whether he/she's a programmer or not...

On the other hand, for the future for the devs, the mode should maybe be placed in the first lfs string in the host file... I mean, lfs=S2 0.5Q etc... Guess it's nice to just use one file source to gather the information needed...?

VorTeX3k

20th February 2006, 09:24

Thanks fel for this =)

Socks conn. is a good way to do that, thanks :D I'll implement this into the script and will leave it as it is, because I don't really like to make another fopen and parse my arse of ( ;) ) to simply get the mode data.

Let's see... ;)

felplacerad

20th February 2006, 15:04

misjka, maybe you can use this ...

<?php
$mode = shell_exec('grep mode /path/to/setup.cfg');
echo "mode: ";
echo substr("$mode", 6);
?>

misjka

20th February 2006, 15:20

OK, thanks! I'll check it out!

But, ehh.... That won't work, will it, since the php script runs on one host and the lfs dedihost is on another one...??!

VorTeX3k

21st April 2006, 13:19

I'm glad to officially release the 0.5S compliant version directly after the release of the dedicated host! :)

Changes in Version 1.7:
- Added content of LfS Patch S2S:

Some news from my side:

I'm currently developing a complete new server script that is LFS World based especially for those users, who don't have HTTP or FTP access to their LFS server.
The script is currently in alpha state and should enter beta testing within this week. There's still a lot to do but it already works very stable (tested with a lot of hosts today).
I'll keep you informed about the process :)

Sorry guys for this large delay ;) Had a lot to do, so the progress wasn't very fast.

I'm currently still working on the lfs world version.

But to keep you all up-to-date I installed a mailing list and I advise everyone that is interested, to sign in to it:
Just write an empty mail with the subject subscribe to lfsscript@gjl-network.net

Then you'll receive all information also about beta the beta phase of the LFSW version, coming soon.

@Private[BE]: Please write me a PM regarding your problem or contact me via icq, so that I can have a further look into this problem.

Testing of the LFS World version which doesn't require HTTP or FTP access to your websever is in progress. If anyone else wants to participate to the testing, please just contact me by mail :)

There is some script or some modification to do this script work in a server install in my PC? (it works 24/7 and is demo dedicated server)

VorTeX3k

20th November 2006, 07:58

There's no need for modification. You only need a webserver with PHP support. That's all.

To make one clear to everybody, I just received a mail this day (see below) that I would not provide any instructions on how to setup my script for a forum software.

Well: THIS IS A STAND-ALONE APPLICATION! I give you all instructions you need to set up the script and get it working. It is a stand-alone application to be as flexible as possible. If it would be a mod for a f... forum-software or something like this, it would only work with this single software and would need to be rewritten for every single CMS or forum software.
So, if you are too dumb, to know this and blame me for your missing knowledge on how to place a link to the script or embed it via an iframe, it is not my problem.

And I post this, because I'm not interested to get mails like this again..

You give us 2 php files and that’s it

No ****ing instructions

Nothing

U say what to edit and then upload it.

You don’t say how to put it in the forum, or how to link it to the forum

Or anything

YOU'RE A ****ING DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

News about these scripts?

I've downloaded both, but nothing works.. The online racers say that it couldn't get data from LFS World due to an unknow problem, the server.php page says that it can't connect to the server to retrieve infos.

About _data_config.php, in a certain line u say that I have to put the path of the folder, right?

But, if i host the server on my personal pc, under Winzozz, and the lfs.exe host is under, ex: g:\LFS HOST\lfs.exe I have to put the entirely path, so G:\LFS HOST\ or something different? :scratchch

Thanks 4 help, and Happy New Year to all!

Cr45h

To the problem with the Server script: I think you misunderstand one point: The hostfile must be accessible via a FTP directory. So you need a FTP running on your live for speed server with the game directory (in your ex. g:\LFS HOST\) accessible via FTP. Afterwards you must configure the _data_config.php to access this FTP server (by entering the email address). The path that has to be entered is the relative path seen from the root of your FTP.
So if you configured you FTP to have g:\LFS HOST\ as root path, then you have to leave the $hostpath variable empty. if you for example configured g:\ as your ftp root, the $hostpath must be "/LFS HOST".

Regarding the RacerOnlineScript: Please check if you have a cache.txt file within the directory you run the script from. If not, check that this directory is writable for the webserver. If there is a cache.txt file, check what's written in there and how big it is. If it is much larger than some kb (eg. some MB) than we need to check this problem further, if the file is small and than some error message may be written in it.
If the file is created but is completely empty, check 2 things: Try to delete the file and create it manually, set the CHMOD to 777 (access rights writable). If this still does not help your PHP installation may block access to external URLs. This is done through the configuration variable allow_url_fopen. The script can only work if this is set to enabled. So check this within your php.ini.

Hm... For server script... It works very great!

But, about FTP....I don0t understand very well what it does instead of http... 'cause now i have the config file with no ftp specification, and, it works with no problems.

The FTP option what does if I activate it? :scratchch

Anyway... congrats for script!! :thumb:

If you use FTP, the script also accesses a FTP server, HTTP does the same but accessing the data through HTTP. Those are different protocols and runnning in different servers.
So for example if you have a default HTTP access configured to http://blah.test it may be configured in the HTTP server to point to the local directory "C:\webserver\http" whilst the same domain as FTP (so port 21) (ftp://blah.test) could be configured in the FTP server to point to "C:\ftp dir".
So it is no "must" that an address accessed via FTP or HTTP point to the same direction.

And thanks for the congrats :D

Lets say a host starts an online game. It creates a hostxxxxx.txt file right?
But when the host leaves the game the hostxxxxx.txt file disappears. When this happens the output file "server.php" displays the error msg

Warning: fopen(......../host63392.txt (http://www.theohbrothers.com/myservers/lfs/host63392.txt)) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
in .../server.php on line 165 

It writes this error (which is generated by the server)at the top of the output file, and it spoils the look of the output file,
this happens because of this line
$datei[$c] = fopen($filepath[$c], r);
Opening the file directly in this manner will return errors if the file is not present.
is there a way to modify the script such that is does not "open" the file but checks if it's there in the first place then outputs "Server is 'Online' or 'Offline' " instead of the php error message like the one mentioned above it really spoils the look of the output file

Will this script be updated for x30 or are you waiting for patch y?

not demanding a new version! Just wondering if it will be updated!

13th December 2007, 14:07

Dunno which version of the script I originally had, but with a few tweaks it works fine with X30 / X31 ... :)

X31 servers are at the bottom of the page ... :D

Direct access to the txt file as well, not http ... :thumb:

Only thing I can't get is it to display FBM! some help please on the tweak to make this possible?

[Don't worry, I've managed to figure it out!]

Add this after SO5R ...

if($track=="SO6")
$trackName = "South City Chicane Route";
if($track=="SO6R")
$trackName = "South City Chicane Route Rev.";

Add an extra 1 in the line of 1's ...

function get_cars($cars, $showAll, $showLanguage)
{
$i = 0;
$j = 0;
$j2 = 0;
if(trim($cars)=="11111111111111111111" && $showInfo[4] == 1)

Add the case 19 part for the FBM ...

case 18:
$carlist .= "BF1";
break;
case 19:
$carlist .= "FBM";
break;

Annndd, I think that's it, unless I've forgotten something ... :D

BOSCHO i had the same problem, i'm nor programmer and have little php skills but i think it has something to do with the script not being able to access the file.

I got around this by removing this line in server.php

$filepath[$c] = $serverprot[$c] . "://" . $ftpuser[$c] . ":". $ftppw[$c] . "@" . $serverip[$c] . $hostpath[$c] . "/host" . $lfsport[$c] . ".txt";

and putting this line in _data_config.php in the connention info for Server 1

$filepath[0] = "/lfs/host63392.txt";

I can do this as the php scripts are running on the same server as the LFS dedicated server (that may not be the case for you)

I also had to change;
die "File access error!";

for
echo "File access error!";
exit();

In server.php

Not really a fix, but certainly a work around!
