General Discussion / M&B Warband Server Banner Generator
« on: July 12, 2017, 10:20:14 pm »
Hello all!
This is my first post here, although I've been playing the North and South mod with the 8thVA for about a year and a half.
Recently I've created a little web app that lets you generate server information banners since I couldn't find any similar sites that could provide this. I host the NA Dixieland Army servers and I wanted to be able to show the server details on my website. It is based in Python and simply scrapes the public site and places the server information over a background to create the banner. This should work for any M&B Warband (inc. mods) server.
HTTP:
http://warbandbanner.masonrowe.com/
HTTPS:
https://warbandbanner.masonrowe.com/
The banner displays information about the server, such as the name, the module being used (N&S, NW, etc.), the game mode (TDM, Battle, etc.), the current map, the current number of players on the server, and whether the server is locked or unlocked (shown in upper right). On the web page after entering your server information, html links and forum/teamspeak links are automatically generated so you can copy and paste where desired.
Example for NW:
More Examples:
So far I only have seven backgrounds (3 for N&S, 2 for NW, and 2 generic), but I can add more options easily if desired. So if you have a specific background you would like to use, send it my way. The default port for a warband server is 7240, so as long as your server's webpage is accessible, i.e. http://your-server-ip:port/, then the banner can be generated.
Feel free to suggest any edits or features you'd like to see, I'm open to changes. Also, note that I may decide to add additional features which may break existing links (on your sites, signatures, teamspeak, etc.). If you notice the image isn't loading, then just visit the site again and grab a new link.
