A set of modules for watching the zombie levels across a region in near-real time.
Do not use in a way that does not comply with the API Rate limits, please.
- python 2.7
- trawler daemon
- python zmq
- (optional) python progressbar
First, you must have transmission running in the background, e.g.:
$ ./transmission_runner.py -u 'Your Nation Name' (Replace with something appropriate)Secondly, you need to start the actual zombie radar driver:
$ ./runner -u 'Your Nation Name' 'Your Region' (Replace)I would recommend running both of these in a terminal multiplexer such as screen or tmux.
Finally, to actually show the collected and updated data to your region-mates, you need to publish a web page, like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Zombie Observation Post</title>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://z5.ifrm.com/9057/121/0/f5151052/jquerytablesortermin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var region_name = 'Your Region';
var server = 'your.server.address';
var region = region_name.toLowerCase().replace(/ /g,'_')
function action_filter(action) {
$('#top_nations tbody tr').hide();
$('.'+action).show();
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$.getJSON("http://"+server+":6264/"+region, function(data) {
$("noscript").after('<p style="font-style:italic; font-weight:bold; font-size:12pt;">'+region_name+' Nations</p><p>by survivors, zombies, or dead</p><p>Filter by <a href="#research" onclick="action_filter('+"'research'"+');" name="show_all">research</a>, <a href="#exterminate" onclick="action_filter('+"'exterminate'"+');" name="show_all">exterminate</a>, <a href="#export" onclick="action_filter('+"'export'"+');" name="show_all">export</a>, or <a href="#null" onclick="action_filter('+"'null'"+');" name="show_all">considering options</a>.</p>',$("<table>",{
id:'top_nations',
class:'tablesorter',
width:'300'
}).append('<thead><tr><th>#</th><th>Nation</th><th>Survivors</th><th>Zombies</th><th>Dead</th></tr></thead>',$('<tbody>').append($.map( data, function(nation,idx){
return '<tr class="'+(nation.action ? nation.action : 'null' )+'"><th>'+(idx+1)+'</th><th><a href="https://www.nationstates.net/nation='+nation.name+'">'+nation.name+'</a></th><td>'+nation.survivors+'<td>'+nation.zombies+'</td><td>'+nation.dead+'</td></tr>' ;
}).join())));
$("#top_nations").tablesorter({sortList:[[3,1]],headers:{0:{sorter:false},1:{sorter:false}}});
$("#top_nations").bind('sortStart',function(){
$("#top_nations tbody th:first-child").text(function(idx,o){return '';});
}).bind('sortEnd',function(){
$("#top_nations tbody th:first-child").text(function(idx,o){return idx+1;});
});
if( window.location.hash ) {
document.getElementById('top_nations').scrollIntoView(true);
var action = {'#null':'null','#research':'research','#exterminate':'exterminate','#export':'export'}[window.location.hash];
if( action ){
action_filter(action);
}
}
});
});

</html>I would of course recommend adjusting the page to fit with your regional aesthetics.
