Simple plugin that adds a little image into the header with the serverstatus of the PC-Battlefield servers.

Inspired by this thread:

Changelog:

v1.1:
removed the icons. Now it's only text.
v1.2:
integrated it in into the navigation.
v1.2.1:
now it should work more reliable.
added stressed and down images.
v1.3:
BBLog v3 ready!
Nice that someone made this plugin :)
I'll be using it for sure, I'll use a local version, though, the icons doesn't fit my taste.

I'll send you my images when I've made them, if you like them you can use them.
I managed to throw throw together two very simple* icons, a green and red orb.
The red orb is made as an APNG (Animated PNG), way better than GIF if you ask me, but Chrome doesn't support it, only Firefox and Opera does as far as I know.

I'll include three files in the attached ZIP folder.
1. Green Orb (PNG)
2. Red Orb (PNG)
3. Red Orb (APNG)

If you use these I think you should maybe modify the text size and the icon/text placement a little bit, just to make it look better.

*I like it when stuff are kept simple, it looks nice and user friendly.

Sorry, but I don't really like them.
maybe we could include this plugin in general BBLog.
What does brain think about this?
No. Should be stay as a plugin.
I like the plugin, but i don't like original image.

Maybe an little EA Logo (red/green)?
Which servers does it connect to check whether the server is up or down?
Is or will it be possible to add servers a user would like to have it checked himself?

A check to see if Battlelog is up or down is quite useless offcourse, you're at the site itself in order to see a thumb up or down. ;)
2 potentials icons for the plugin ?!

edit : 24px version maybe more suitable !

Removed the icons. Now it's only text.
I think it looks better, but what is your opinion?
I think it ruins a little bit the header design.

An icon (with a hover text) or full text will be better maybe at the right of the horizontal navigation ?

I would like an answer to this question, I couldn't find it in the sourcecode.

That sounds good. I'll test it!

Battlelog and the other EA server are different one. If battlelog works, the EA server could be down too.

v1.2.1 out!

Added "stressed" and "down" images!
And now it should work more reliable.

hi,There!

I Like that plugin Idea,but i use xbox360.

Is it possible to show the Serverstats for the xbox live server?or does it only work for PC-users?

PS.:Im a German user,hope i use the correct order of words,to make my question understandable for you!
It should be possible, however I have no clue how. Pun1a will figure this out, maybe he can make three plugins, one for PC, one for PS3 and one for XBOX? Or maybe he can merge them.

I based the 'it should be possible' by looking at the code from the ea site;




BTW. None of us is a native English speaking person, we all make our mistakes in the vocabular, no worries.
Can you please update this to work with v3.0? It's very useful.

Guys, I'm back. My account didn't really worked, don't know why.
Anyway, I had and still have much to do at school, my school degree
is in sight and I have to concentrate at it. But tomorrow I will take the time to update all my plugins!
I created my own version of the plugin. It's not done yet but it shows you the up/down/stressed status of the EA server. Currently only for PC but that will change in the future.

Check it out here:

late answer to this point but sorry. this answer is a little bit "stupid"
if battlelog is down, you don't need a Plugin to see that, because you can't visit / open Battlelog anyway.
it makes only sense to show the status of EA servers, not of battlelog.

It only shows the status of the Gameservers - not the battlelog servers.

There is only one original.

i hope so =) but your anser was a little bit strange to his picture ;-)
doent work by me :/
It's not working for me but the TS3 plugin wasn't working either and it was a problem with the skillmonster link so maybe it's the same problem with this one.
