Hi there,

I'm currently working on a plugin that extends the information you see in the server browser. Often I find a server that perfectly matches my filter criterias (e.g. slots for 4 friends and me, favorite game mode, nice map, good server size) - just to realise upon map change that we joined a mixed mode server that makes us play TDM on Locker, bah.

What I got so far: when selecting a server, my plugin shows the next map (I know that this gets incorrect when the server has votemap enabled), using the following request to get the server data:

$.ajax({
headers: {
'X-AjaxNavigation': 1
},
url: 'http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/servers/show/pc/6a47de60-0874-4d98-83e3-de8d1d2fe2f1/BiG-HC-RANKED-24-7-RUSH/',
success:function( r ) {
// map information in r.context.server.maps
var mapObj = r.context.server.maps,
nextMap = mapObj.maps[ mapObj.nextMapIndex ].map;

alert( 'Next map is ' + nextMap );
}
});

btw: is there any object I can access to transform the internal map names to recognizable ones, like "MP_Journey" -> "Golmud Railway"?

Now, I want to get the player list, like the live scoreboard does. However, even if I enable logging of requests in Chrome, I don't see any queries that indicate an update to the live scoreboard. The player list in the response object is outdated and lists players that don't even play on the server.

Any suggestions?

BBLog.handle("json.from.battlelog", {url : '/bf4/servers/show/pc/6a47de60-0874-4d98-83e3-de8d1d2fe2f1/BiG-HC-RANKED-24-7-RUSH/', callback : function(data){// code here});

What's the difference?

I don't like that the China Rising maps are uppercased and that the keys differ to much (some have XP1 or 2 in their key, some use numbers, some underscores), it just seems inconsistent.

I just found another way, what about this one? Is it reliable?
console.log( gamedatawarsaw.function_warsawgameserver().maps[ 2 ] );
->
Object
{
gameExpansion: 0
gameModes: Array[8]
id: "MP_Prison"
label: "Operation Locker"
platforms: Array[5]
}

Thanks, will take a look.

//edit
I couldn't find any plugin that accesses the player list :( any further suggestion? The player list I can obtain via bf4stats.com includes 1000 players from the past, I can't seem to find which players are currently active (beside some non-reliable date comparisons).
