Title: [RELEASE] iNsane's PiBoSo Server Browser
Post by: iNsane on September 09, 2020, 12:49:46 AM
Hello everyone,
for those who've seen it in the MXB Discord, these won't be big news for you.

But anyways: I made something :)

Tought about giving PHP and JS a try and learn on how to parse XML values into something useful. First it was meant to be a workaround for a Discord function I wanted to realize: Join a server by clicking on a hyperlink in an embed.
Sadly Discord doesn't like links that don't start with "http(s)://", so that was the moment I realized I should start on a workaround and it was pretty much quite quickly done.

But somehow I hadn't had enough and thought about expanding it ... 3 weeks later I can proudly present to you:



iNsane's PiBoSo Server Browser (http://connect.mxb-mods.com)
or "PiBoSo Connect" I'm not sure how I should call it. Maybe it'll be different again in some weeks.

basically nothing else than Pibs' stats and server pages merged together and differently organized, modern and easier to use interface.

Features:

I hope anyone has some use for it. I'm always open for feedback as long as it's constructive and helpful.

If there's interest to parse server data to use it in an RSS reader or anything, these are the links which are being refreshed every 60s to prevent a rebuild each time someone connects to the website:

That's amazing!! It's great to connect in some server without opening the MX Bikes manually

I want to share some improvements:
- Add a filter for the server name and track name columns
- Alphabetic sort option
- Option for resize the server name column (my motocrossplays servers are truncated hehe)
- A small button for favoritate servers and show theses with an Bold text
