[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).

***In the cloner***
|
|
|
|
Please note that the code is still in a **experimental stage** at this time and
|
|
there is still a lot of work to be done before it's ready for production use.

Data Source
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The data used for most of 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.
|
|
|
|
All **private** servers, and some public ones, are being polled directly for data.
|
|
That means a list of private servers have to be maintained manually, but we're
|
|
not affected by any downtimes (as long as the game servers themselves are up
|
|
and running). This is usually a more reliable method, but it's more expensive to
|
|
run since we have to send multiple network requests (instead of one to Byond).
|
|
|
|
Both methods can be affected by spoofing attacks, done by bad servers, and so
|
|
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 bunch of games.
|
|
|
|
Add new private server
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you would like to add your server to the private list, and accept being polled
|
|
about 4 times an hour, please open a [new ticket](https://github.com/lmas/ss13_se/issues/new)
|
|
on the issue tracker on github.
|
|
|
|
Please provide the following info for your server and write it in your new ticket:
|
|
|
|
Title - The public title of your server.
|
|
Game URL - The publicly open address to the game server.
|
|
Site URL - The address to your server's web page, if you have one.
|
|
|
|
See the file `TODO` for examples.
