netKar PRO server list on the web

Sergey Moskovkin wrote:Hi guys.

Here is my little project "netKar PRO online servers" where you can see available nKP servers and connect to them Jump2nkp utility.

So why we may need such thing?

First at all it can a good place for nKP track database - every track name can be a download link or page with information about track and download link. Second - it can be a database of setups. There are many others ideas in my head, but I need to make this thing stable in the first place.

I wanna thanks Andrea and MCarey for their help in testing this thingy at first stage and Juha Pyy for his help with Jump2nkp utility. Thanks, guys!

Small preview for those, who wasn't involved into testing:

1. Overview

Here you can see the table with all nKP servers. You can spot the the server name, the track and its configuration, the rain amount as icon of sun or rain, the car, session type and the number of online drivers.

Orange icon with "R" letter tells you that server is support nKP Rank.



2. Sorting and other features

You can sort the table by any column, choose how much servers you want to see and the page and filter the table by search. All you settings will be saved. If you don't like them - there is a button "Reset sorting".

But the magic starts when you hover your mouse above the server row and different columns...



3. Hover the server row

Just hover you mouse above the server row and you will see a more detailed information: the weather icon will be changed with rain amount, you will see detailed info about current session at server and the "Join" button.

The server name and join button will have the same color for easy reading. Color depends on server state: public servers have green color, private servers - blue, full servers - black and servers which have wrong configuration - red.



4. Hover the server name

Just hower the mouse above the server name and you will be able to visit league home page (if there is such information of cause). I think this will help players find league where they want to race.



5. Hover the track name

Here is something really usefull - in this case you will see the track download link and link to see best times at nKP Rank.



6. Hover the car name

Another good feature - if you hover your mouse above the car name you will see the link to find setups for server's track and car at nKP Rank. Of cause not all combos have uploaded setups.



7. Private server

Just an example of private server.



8. Server with wrong configuration

You will not see the "join" button only in one case - when server has wrong configuration and insted of button to join you will see red button with label "Help". By clicking on it you will see a small help page.

In this particular case server has wrong car name - "KS2", but it must be "FormulaKS2".



9. The end

The best thing about all this stuff - it works

Now I have to figure out how to place all this to regular server. If you know how to do this - please contact with me (the program itself written in C#, it runs constantly, once in two minutes asks all servers about thier state and generates simple html-page).

I hope it will not take a long time.

Thank you for your time.

Sorry Firefox and Opera users - you will see damn single line tooltip. I will fix it later.

Edit 2: also there is an issue with www.xgn.com.au server which doesn't marked as nKP Rank server, but it is. Will see where is the problem.

At the moment the table itself doesn't have any other way to refresh data.

And you are right "reset means back to origional" - that what that button does

Anyway "Reset sorting" will renamed to "Default sorting".
