[Space Station 13 Hub](https://www.ss13.se/)
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
A server hub dedicated to SS13 and possibly a better replacement for the default
|
|
server page at [Byond](https://www.byond.com/games/exadv1/spacestation13).
|
|
|
|
Status
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
***Beta mode live at [www.ss13.se](https://www.ss13.se/)***
|
|
|
|
The code has ben run in production for some months now and seems to be stable
|
|
enough. I guess we're now back in beta?
|
|
|
|
Features For Players
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- A friendlier server list.
|
|
|
|
- Detailed pages for most public servers.
|
|
|
|
- Player count stats and graphs.
|
|
|
|
- Predict when it's a "good" time for you to play.
|
|
|
|
Data Source
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The data used for the **public** servers is scraped from the [Byond](http://www.byond.com/games/exadv1/spacestation13) page.
|
|
Relying on Byond means we're affected by their server downtime (no page, no data),
|
|
but we will automatically discover any new public servers.
|
|
|
|
Since bad hosts and owners can spoof a server's reported player count, there's
|
|
no way to guarantee that the calculated stats and graphs are 100% correct.
|
|
|
|
But then again it's just some silly numbers for a game.
|
|
|
|
Missing a server?
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Since we're scraping only **public** servers, we're missing any **private** that's
|
|
hidden from the Byond page (I also discarded the poller, so no more polling
|
|
**private** servers from a VIP list).
|
|
|
|
We also see a lot of **public** servers coming and going, or merely changing
|
|
names a lot. So any servers that hasn't been seen for 3 days, or more, will be
|
|
automagically removed from the list.
