Create your own server list

[steeffeen]

weird things happening to me:

Code: Select all

$list = $server->getFilteredList(array("environment"=>"Storm", "mode"=>"Siege"));

HTTP Response: 400 Bad Request
API Response: Invalid login "" (400)

invalid login? wtf?

why needs the title to be specified?
the environment key is useless if you need to specify the title anyways

Code: Select all

$list = $server->getFilteredList(array("title"=>"SMStorm", "length"=>60));

HTTP Response: 400 Bad Request
API Response: Bad Request (400)

i see why there is a limit of result items, but with the current behavior i need 4! requests to get a list of servers running a custom game mode... please let us filter by specific custom game modes as well, not only with -3...
4 requests may not be THAT horrible, but imagine shootmania may become bigger in the future and there are even more custom servers running

Is it possible to add an order function like by the number of players or all servers in SMStorm but by gamemode without make 1 request by gamemode?

What is the limit for the length value? I tried 90 and sometimes it works, sometimes I have Bad Request.

And "mode" is replaced by "scriptName".

can't you just sort the result on your end? would be easier if you ask me

the limit is 50, i can't really believe that 90 worked for you ^^

what do you mean with that?

Sorry, I mixed two things^^

I would like to make an alternative browser because I find the current has a lack of features like order by number of players and not by the "level" of players, the search without formatage...

In this case, I need to make several request to have enough servers (I think about the future and when we will have more than 50 servers with players). I think it can reduce the number of requests in some case. I can make without for the moment if isn't in the todo to propose this.

It worked one time for me. Maybe good to give the number in the documentation.

you need several requests anyways, don't you?
or do you only want to display not-empty servers?

and making more than one request isn't such a big deal server-sided, you can make several requests at once without big problems

for example if you want to display all servers for Obstacle:
- get ALL custom mode servers
- filter and sort

like that: http://www.team-devota.com/steeffeen/ma ... /?obstacle

I want to limit the requests, I don't know how many users and their utilizations for the moment. For the list of servers, I can cache the list with a reset each 2 minutes maybe. After for the details of each servers, it isn't useful to use the cache at the beginning, maybe after if many users use it.
I see I can give a minimal number of players in my request

If you count the number of titles, the number of pages, details, and maybe other things after, each optimization can be useful I think.

I will make my browser with this limitation and see the result.

I've increased the limit to 100 results on the '/server/' endpoint.

Have you tried the parameter "environment=Storm" on this endpoint?

Ordering is not available at the moment. I've added it to my todo list.

[jonthekiller]

jonthekiller, why you need ordering, you can easily order the lists yourself in your code .

Yes but maybe not optimized to stock all results (all pages) and after order. It can be enough if we don't have a huge utilization.

It's not possible to have all servers in an environment without give a title? I have "Invalid login" error message.
