New server browser for the web

[dlh]

I've created a new server browser, mostly because I want to connect to games from my web-browser.

Currently, only Armagetron on Mac OS X has full support for the armagetronad:// URI protocol. If you use Mac OS X, you can grab the latest 0.3 alpha build from aabeta.

I've created a browser for the Ladle servers. I have a version that queries the master servers, but i will not be hosting a public version until I add a feature to cache the data on the server, and not query servers on-demand.

Get the code for it at launchpad.

That looks pretty awesome.

It looks nice and clean but what about adding the custom connect detail in it with the link to connect to server.
something like "Connect to server (ip:port)"

Looks simple, works really well. Nice job. I'm using it now.

Some updates:

• Using a modified ArmaUnified style
• Empty servers are hidden by default. There is a box you click to show/hide the empty servers

Online demo still at http://generalconsumption.org/armagetronad/ladle. This demo has empty servers visible by default since there are so few servers on the list.

Looks great.

For those of you with 0.3.0 and Firefox, to connect to a server, do the following:

Copy and Paste:

Code: Select all

javascript:navigator.registerProtocolHandler('armagetronad','http://support.mozilla.com/value=%s','armagetronad');

# After you paste the code into the Location bar, press Enter. Firefox's information bar will appear, asking Add programName (support.mozilla.com) as an application for protocolName links?
# Click on Add Application on the Information bar.


Next, associate a program with the protocol:

Go to the server browser and click connect to server.

When you click on the link now, the Launch Application window will appear instead of the error message.
# In the Launch Application window, click to select Choose an Application and then click on Choose....
# Use the open file window to select the program you want to run.

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Armagetron Advanced and select armagetronad.exe.


Have fun

dlh, I was wondering if in your next reversion you could include a "plain" style without Lackadaisical's theme, (not that I don't like his theme). A simple layout without any colours, images or wrappers ect to simply make it more easy to customize.

The main reason being so is every time I try to update to your latest reversion I can't seem to remember what I removed or added when I customized it to suit my website look, so I'm there re-doing everything from scratch. I know that's my issue, but it would be much easier to customize it with a plain theme rather than all that included. As I'm not sure which is the browser and which is the theme code. I know it's just really messing with the CSS and moving things around, but it gets tedious after the third time.
