php status with 1.32

Okay, so the server status php file is broken now that version 1.32 is out. Has anyone looked into reworking it to make it work? I fiddled around with it a little, but didn't get so very far. I managed to get something that would say if the server was online or not, but that's about it.

Not that I'm aware of. Avlis always waits before upgrading to new versions of NWN for reasons just like this one. They always introduce new bugs. :? 1.32 is no exception.

Maybe Papillion (who coded our Server Status script) will have an idea of what has changed when he gets back.

Looks like this is a 'feature' not a bug.

I agree with Alex. After a week of having the new server page, I find that its got all you need :-

1) Is the server up?
2) How many people are on.

It leasve one big problem: You know someone you need is online, and thus unreachable by MSG, ICQ, PM, etc.

How do you find the person?

That was the reason I loved the old page setup better. You knew where to find someone. Specially DM's....

I agree. If possible I would like the page to be expanded to include the character names, but levels / class should be left off for OOC reasons. Mind you, you can find this by logging into the server - so is it worth worrying about?

I like the new setup better because of the fact it doesnt tell who is online


How many times have the servers been crashed because of a mass exodus to a server due to a DM event?

It also allows people to play differently because they know a DM is online... this is why we disabled the DM log in message. (at least to the extent that NWN lets us do so)
