I was bored 2 days ago, and I wanted to make a computer program in java which is related to Blockland. All it took was 40-50 lines of code. What is this? My application records the master server list every 6 minutes. It stores the Blockland server statuses in files which are accessible at: http://www.hammereditor.net/masterarchive/. The program downloads the master2.blockland.us list, then records the status of each server in a file. How are the files formatted? For each Blockland server's name, there is a .txt file. For example, a name would be "Ravencroft's Basketball Tournament.txt". All forbidden filename characters are replaced by '%' signs. What information do the recordings include? Each line in a file has the date, time, IP address and port, server name, players, max. players, GameMode, and bricks. This is basically just a resource I made for the Blockland community. I also may consider adding a way to search the database with a .jsp webpage, and it also will organize results. |

Say you host at a time when there are a ton of people on. Those people might not even see your server, so you can prepare to host before and slowly build up, allowing that hour to keep you up at a large player count. |
