switchServer

by Schmidi

System

XASECO2

Description

A sophisticated server switcher that can use different connection methods
One of the main goals is to keep the HUD clean. It's possible to show/hide the list, of course this is also done automatically by passing CP or finish. Further I introduced a template system to give admins the ability to change the layout as simple as possible (hopefully).

Connecting Servers

There are 4 different ways to connect servers.
Sockets
Servers are connected by private nonblocking UDP-sockets. (Xmlrpc-port-number is just to make config as simple as possible)
PublicSockets
Servers are connected by TCP-sockets. Main routine to connect servers on two different machines. Make sure your setup is secured but ports are reachable.
Files
Data is stored in a file.
Shared Memory
Similar to sockets but available only on linux.

Installation

1. unzip the script to xaseco2 base directory
2. edit xaseco2's plugins.xml and include the following line:
Code:
<plugin>plugin.switchServer.php</plugin>
3. edit switchServer.xml to suite your needs
4. restart xaseco2

Settings

Options are configurable in switchServer.xml, see the forum for details.
Servers
To make the server visible to others, enable/config your preferred method(s).
Fetchers
Add servers you want to show. You may add as many methods in any order you prefer.
