Offline Access to Battles...

Oooo - looking good.
Move over each zone for a breakdown per race?

Nice job (= what it spits out is a bit depressing though )=

[Envicta]

I've made another little gimmick,  this one is for the Forum or Homepage if Beo is happy with it..

http://www.amagad.co.uk/marq.php

Beo:  In order to add this code you'll need to add the following code

Code: [Select]

    <?php

    $url = "http://www.amagad.co.uk/marq.php?squig=".rand(0,10000);
    $fp = fopen( $url, 'r' );
    $result = "";
    
    while( !feof( $fp ) ) {
       $buffer = trim( fgets( $fp, 4096 ) );
       $result .= $buffer;
    }
   echo $result;

   ?>

The squig is just a random value that gets around browser-caching

Any problems just shout

[Mangala]

Nice.

A little sauced - and still in the land of inactive sub (Not even an automated response to my ticket yet) - so I'll look at adding that tomorrow

Ok I've had a go at the Battleground statistics Db, but its proving to be very buggy!

The core issue is that WARDB is inconsistant and sometimes does not display all of the Battleground zones, or misses out some objectives.

When I looked through the JS-source, its all prefixed with WOW stuff and has lots of WoW-references,  so I imagine they pretty much "Copy/Pasted" it from wowhead.com and "bodged" it to work.

Anyhow...

Red = Destruction controlled
Blue = Order controlled
Pink = Destruction owned but under attack by Order
Light Blue = Order owned but under attack from Destruction
Purple = Unknown due to bug
Grey = Neutral (not owned by either side)

I'm going to keep working on this,   as i'm not 100% confident on its accuracy..

Once i've got it working,  I welcome anyone to do some kind of "summary" based on results

PS.  Its got 2 pixels for every 5 minutes.

This looks amasing to me    I don't understand a single word of the technical mumbo jumbo in this thread, but I do like what I see in the outputs

Great work, Envicta!

Just a suggestion, but instead of rand(x), why don't you use a substring of date in the form YYMMDDHHmm - this way the value gets cached for a minute. You could do the same but make the MM values 00,15,30,45 and have the checks at 15m intervals. Might make the hits on your server fewer if you're worried about it.

[Envicta]

The server is a swedish 100Mbit, so it'll be fine

In the end its to stop the Browser from caching the result of the link, which you think it should do, since the result is different!

Also,  the Battleground DB is far too buggy (and broken!) and I really can't see any useful statistics coming off it, due to the inconsistent nature of the WARDB.com site,  so therefore i'm going to turn it off and remove it.

I'll keep a backup incase WARDB ever fixes the problems (which is doubtful as they did a straight copy/paste from WoWhead.com)

seems to not be working at the mo

heres what im getting

was just going to have a quick look before asking if you could make it look "nicer" big blocks of colour and me eyes dont go so well, maybe space it out a bit more, apart from that critique its nice to see the info in an easy manner.

[Envicta]

Aye it would seem the XML functionality in PHP has a memory limit and i've exceeded it!

I'm going to can it for now

But feel free to give suggestions/feedback for

http://www.amagad.co.uk/battlegrounds.php4

and the Signature under my name

Is it possible to sort the maps on that page by realm?

So Empire-Chaos would look like:
[tic][the maw][...][...][...][...][Praag][Reikswald][Altdorf] without the dwarf and elf maps in between.

[Rubino]

It would good to see the groupings by Race - ie DE/HE - as zone control at lower tiers contributes to the tiers above.
It would help us co-ordinate tier battles to aid switching higher tiers - something we should start planning.
