Please don't use LGSL, use GameQ. It has updated libraries and is written extremely efficiently and well.
LGSL has been around since, what? 2003? There is nothing wrong with using it to query source game servers.

Yes there is. Everything is pushed into a single PHP file so it's not exactly intuitive.LGSL has been around since, what? 2003? There is nothing wrong with using it to query source game servers.

GameQ uses separate library files which allows for easy additions when new games with new query protocols come out!
https://github.com/Austinb/GameQ
Most of the games supported in GameQ LGSL does not and will never support.
There is a single file that has all the game protocols in LGSL (check for yourself http://www.greycube.com/site/download.php?view.56) called 'lgsl_protocol.php'. This makes for a fixed selection of protocols and to add more, you need to edit that file directly (not exactly the MVC approach).Wait, LGSL pushes everything into a single PHP file? Are you sure you know what you're talking about? While GameQ would be more flexible for games outside of what LGSL supports it doesn't necessarily mean it's "better".
Um what? An automated script as opposed to.....?I can make this into an automated script. Not to to expensive.
However, if you want advanced advertising features, such as, auctioning off ad spaces, than this will significantly increase the price.
Let me know what your budget is.
Note: If this is for Minecraft then that is out of the question as I have my own plans for that. However I may still be willing to negotiate a price.
Automated as in, pinging, hiding offline servers, and more.Um what? An automated script as opposed to.....?
Plus if nobody is willing to do this for free I will since I have a purchased copy of VBGameZ and I'm willing to convert the banner/signature feature as well for free.
Yes but you said that you can make it an automated script. I'm asking what it would be if it wasn't automated cause that doesn't make much sense to me lolAutomated as in, pinging, hiding offline servers, and more.
If you can make it than don't talk about it do it. However I will make it, but this script will not be free. I don't work for free.
I was able to use LGSL and this bit of javascript in my Page's Description.
Code:<div class="lgsl"></div> <script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function(){$('.lgsl').load('/lgsl/');});</script>
Works fine and I didn't have to wait for empty promises either.
Yes but you said that you can make it an automated script. I'm asking what it would be if it wasn't automated cause that doesn't make much sense to me lol
Wouldn't this just show a static page with server state?
That is quite boring and doesn't make a real top-site.
Also what is this empty promises talk about? That is kind of offensive.
I apologize for my poor response. I was under the impression that you were directly "attacking" me. That being said, it looks as if I was in the wrong and for that I am sorry.I'm sorry you took offense to my comment that was in no way directed at you, but instead at the overall response to the OP's request. I'm also sorry that my simple method of doing exactly what the OP requested isn't up to snuff for your liking. I'm sure you'll be okay in the long run though.
Will you be using LGSL or GameQ libraries or something else?I apologize for my poor response. I was under the impression that you were directly "attacking" me. That being said, it looks as if I was in the wrong and for that I am sorry.
Cheers!
I read all the comments about LGSL and GameQ and it looks like I would go with GameQ based on your argument of Games it can support and its upkeep. That being said I need to do more research on the subject. Logically, I understand how the coding will come together, but I need to read up on the best way to go about pinging these servers. Any information you know on the subject would be greatly appreciated.Will you be using LGSL or GameQ libraries or something else?

I am going to build a standalone script first, to get something working, then I will start the port over to xenforo. I haven't officially made any XF plugins, but I am sure I can overcome any task big or small.
I'm actually really interested in this. Let me know how it goes and if you need funding. I have built a standalone script which can ping ~5k servers/minute using GameQ but not with xenforo and I'm too unfamiliar with xenforo to port.I read all the comments about LGSL and GameQ and it looks like I would go with GameQ based on your argument of Games it can support and its upkeep.

- Will you have customfields or like any typo of customization for server owner information? Description, social media, website, youtube video, banner, etc.?Okay I have started on the project. I have written some basic code that will take a list of server data and place it into a user friendly list (easy stuff).
Current Goals and Objectives (in no particular order):
If you have any additional feature suggestions, please post them and I will see about getting them added.
- Design classes and methods for output (top site style) - In Progress
- Design classes and methods for server input (adding to db/list)
- Implement mySQL database
- Integrate GameQ library files
- Code in server list Sorting Options
- XF plugin coding/implementation research
- Code css layout
- Explore Ajax/JS options for smooter list/submission display
- Add voting system (for ranking)
- Add comment system per server
- Add rating system per server
- Add trophies
- Add Advertisement Auctioning system
Soon, after I have more coding done and something working, I will create a dedicated thread for this software.

- Will you have customfields or like any typo of customization for server owner information? Description, social media, website, youtube video, banner, etc.?
- Embedable banner? uptime, users online, title, ip/port, etc.?
- Embedable voting? Allow external sites to embed a <script> and have their users be redirected to server vote page?
Overall, looks real promising!
