Any way we can get DreamDaemon to report / push game stats to a third party system instead of hub.byond.com?
I know it's doable with world.Export() but that's undesirable when people modify it.
If not, I would like to request it.

Best you can do is parse the text-format version of the hub page on your own web space, http://byond.com/hub/YourKey/YourHub?format=text
|
Hmm still relies on BYOND.com and the hub .. I want to be separated from it completely when showing servers, player count and link.
| |
Then it's really up to you to export that information yourself, if you don't want it to rely on byond.com you're gonna have to rely on something you made yourself.
| |
Doing it through DM doesn't really help since if someone else was to use the system they could easily spoof the player count or change the link to something malicious...
| |
It would be up to the game developer to secure such things, BYOND can't hold your hand for everything; especially features that are specifically made to shy away from BYOND's built-in stuff.

http://www.dbsupremacy.com/hubs.php is a good example of what Nadrew is talking about.
Unless BYOND does it, which people have been requesting for a while and still we have not seen any sign of it coming, this is what you should do as well. Just some basic text handling and such. | |
