When ServUO is running, is it possible to check the server's status and current game statistics by accessing the server's domain via HTTP?
  • Built-in Web APIs: Some custom ServUO shards use a "Web API" or "JSON status" script that listens on a specific port (e.g., http://yourserver.com:8080).
  • Vita-Nex: Core: Many servers use the Vita-Nex: Core plugin, which includes a very robust web server module for exactly this purpose.
 
Status checks are usually done over raw TCP with a simple packet handshake; that offers basic stats (as seen in the Shard Portal list).

You can either build your own HTTP status wrapper, or you can use the built-in WebStats module that comes with Vita-Nex; the module offers a much more configurable data output using JSON.

I extracted Core-5.3.1.0.zip into D:\ServUO-57.4.1\Scripts and then re-ran _winrelease.bat inside the ServUO folder to recompile. However, the following errors occurred:

Yes, but not by default. There are two HTTP-based options in this repo:

1) Built‑in StatusPage (HTML)
Scripts/Misc/WebStatus.cs exposes http://*:80/status/, but it is disabled by default (Enabled = false). If enabled, it serves a simple HTML page with online clients and basic stats.
Code:
Expand Collapse Copy 
public class StatusPage : Timer
{
    public static readonly bool Enabled = false;
    //...
    _Listener.Prefixes.Add("http://*:80/status/");
}


2) VitaNex WebStats (JSON via WebAPI)
If the VitaNex WebAPI + WebStats modules are enabled, they register "/status" and "/shard" and return JSON for server/statistics.
C#:
Expand Collapse Copy 
        private static void CMConfig()
        {
            WebAPI.Register("/shard", HandleWebRequest);
            WebAPI.Register("/status", HandleWebRequest);
        }


So the answer is: yes, it’s possible, but you must enable one of these systems.
  • For the built‑in HTML status page: enable StatusPage.Enabled in Scripts/Misc/WebStatus.cs (currently false).
  • For JSON stats: enable the VitaNex WebAPI service and the WebStats module, then access http://your-domain😛ort/status or /shard (port is configurable; default is 80 in WebAPI options)

My recommended first step is to go back and properly install Vita-Nex. Lol.
1. Make sure the core files are located in a folder named VitaNex
2. Put VitaNex into Scripts
3. Recompile core.
