discord bot to show how many players on the server so I know if I am joining an empty server

frank hinge
#

I got one for personal use if anyone is interested or if I am breaking anything - saw one person

wait

#

does this ping my server

frank hinge
#

looks at IP

#

it can ping any server

violet chasm
#

does it await a response from my server ?

frank hinge
#

I would assume as its acting as a client to test how many players are on

violet chasm
#

get the refresh rate to a hourly refresh

#

else it'll suck up the AWS free credits

#

but looks cool , i'll see with Rei how we could integrate it

frank hinge
#

I was at 1min out of convenience

#

run it along side the server locally and I would hope it wouldn't cost to ping it lol

violet chasm
#

it would cost half less thats true

#

but yeah we arent getting that much motion for it to be a 1 or even 30 mins refresh

#

max i've seen was 18 people and it was for the beta release

frank hinge
#

I honestly made it to test when someone else was on bc I was tired of joining alone

violet chasm
#

yeah I feel you

#

server might be more alive at US time

better to have the official server use a webhook to show publicly when someone connects/disconnects @frank hinge @violet chasm

#

we could definitely do something to link on discord so when a player connects to the off. server, it updates a channel showing everytime a player connects/disconnects, + player count in real time, with no pinging needed, as it's the server itself providing the info via webhook when necessary

#

aka, get the server to ping the discord when player count updates, instead of all the clients pinging the server for it

frank hinge
#

there is always more efficient ways of doing things compared to what I do XD

rain oxide

but that's the best way of doing something like this that I can think of personally
