I'm curious if it's possible to set up a way to display if a game is live through some sort of code that can be implemented into a separate website.

I guess I'm not fluent enough in other types of coding to really crack the nut myself.

On a related, but separate note, would it be possible to in turn list the open servers? This is out of curiosity. I'm just doing some experimenting with website design and BYOND.

DarkCampainger	http://www.byond.com/games/hub/Nightmare3/ HiddenWindClan?format=text Adding the format=text parameter will output the content in a special form that is semi-easily parsable with PHP or whathaveyou. Several different areas around the site support this. Tiberath has written several posts on using PHP to grab and use this data. Here's his most recent.

Ah, very nifty. I'll definitely navigate around a little bit and check out Tiberath's post.

Thanks, Stephen! I'm gonna see what I can come up with.
