Evenin all! I thought it about time that a fine tradition was restored, so I'm going to help all the clans and random people out there make their own stat sigs using PHP and BFBCS.com's API (if/when EA release, or someone finds EA's then I will redo).
We'll start off with what's included by BFBCS. Click Here to read it all
I'm just going to grab 1ApRiL's example code first
[PHP]<?php
$url = 'http://api.bfbcs.com/api/pc';
$postdata = 'players=1ApRiL&fields=all';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$data = json_decode($data,true);
print_r($data);
?> [/PHP]
Now, for now we're just going to call up one player and the general info. If you want to get into using variables for different names, you can wait until I release my v1 script or have a rummage on tinterwebs for the mass of tutorials
[PHP]<?php
$url = 'http://api.bfbcs.com/api/pc';
$postdata = 'players=1ApRiL&fields=general'; //taken second player name away and changed fields to general
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$data = json_decode($data); //Removed ,true from the boolean
//Notice I've got rid of print_r($data);
[/PHP]
First we set the image background. I'll be using one I quickly whipped up
[PHP]
$im = imagecreatefrompng("./basic.png") or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
[/PHP]
now we'll get the info into data that can be used in PHP
[PHP]
//Get basic player info into useable bits
foreach ( $data->players as $player ) { //Get "players" array from $data and set individually as $player to take info for each object within the array
$name = "{$player->name}";
$rank_title = "{$player->rank_name}";
$kills = "{$player->kills}";
$deaths = "{$player->deaths}";
$score = "{$player->score}";
$dogtags = "{$player->general->dogt}";
} // Close Foreach
[/PHP]
Now to set some simple ones, your clan tag and clan name
[PHP]
//User Set Variables
$clan_tag = "=22ND=";
$clan_name = "THE 22ND REGIMENT";
[/PHP]
Now to setup fonts and colours. I actually have Eurostile but there's a good free lookalike called Waukogen LDO which you can get Here. I use 3 styles, bold extended, extended and normal bold. Rename them to the same as below, all lowercase, no special characters or spaces and put in same folder as your php file
[PHP]
//Fonts
$font = "euro.ttf";
$font_bold = "eurobold.ttf";
$details_bold = "eurobold2.ttf";
//Colours ($im, RED, GREEN, BLUE) 0-255 range for each
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 135, 156, 165);
$border = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); // black
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 108, 0); // Red
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 183, 183, 183); // Grey
$lightgrey = imagecolorallocate($im, 253, 253, 253); // Light Grey
imagerectangle ($im, 0, 0, 399, 99, $border); //Draw Border around image
[/PHP]
Now we'll do the clantag, name and rank title beneath and clan name on the right side
[PHP]
// ($im, FONTSIZE, XAXIS, YAXIS, STRING, COLOUR);
imagestringup($im, 1, 389, 90, $clan_name, $grey);
imagettftext ($im, 12, 0, 10, 20, $red, $font_bold, $clan_tag.$name); //Clantag and Name in red, size 12, bold
imagettftext ($im, 7, 0, 10, 30, $lightgrey, $font, $rank_title); //Rank Title in light grey, size 11, normal
[/PHP]
Now we'll actually get some stats on the go!
[PHP]
//Total Score
imagettftext ($im, 7, 0, 10, 50, $lightgrey, $details_bold, "SCORE:"); //The title
imagettftext ($im, 7, 0, 75, 50, $lightgrey, $font, $score); //the stat
//Kills
imagettftext ($im, 7, 0, 10, 60, $lightgrey, $details_bold, "KILLS:");
imagettftext ($im, 7, 0, 75, 60, $lightgrey, $font, $kills);
//Deaths
imagettftext ($im, 7, 0, 10, 70, $lightgrey, $details_bold, "DEATHS:");
imagettftext ($im, 7, 0, 75, 70, $lightgrey, $font, $deaths);
//Dogtags
imagettftext ($im, 7, 0, 200, 50, $lightgrey, $details_bold, "DOGTAGS:");
imagettftext ($im, 7, 0, 275, 50, $lightgrey, $font, $dogtags);
[/PHP]
UPDATE 27/03/10 @ 22:07 GMT
Now we'll add a rank image in the right hand corner (like my own signature) by taking the base image (which co-incidently is a lovely size to make stat-linked rank avatars) resizing it, and adding it to the sig. Because I'm a generous chap, I'll even give you all of the rank images in one handy .rar file! Download Here. They will extract to /ranks/ so no need to make a new folder.
and now for the code!
[php]
$rank_image = imagecreatefrompng("./ranks/r0{$player->rank}.png");
$insert_x = imagesx($rank_image); //fetches images width
$insert_y = imagesy($rank_image); //fetches images height
$new_width = round($insert_x*0.7); //resizes to 70% of original
$new_height = round($insert_y*0.7); // ^^
$rank_image = imagecopyresized($im,$rank_image, 320, 15, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $insert_x, $insert_y); //Inserts it into the base image at defined location (320 across, 15 down)
[/php]
close up the image and output it!
[PHP]
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($im); // Create the image
?>[/PHP]
Now you should have something like this:
Just by examining the code, you should easily be able to figure out how to grab other stats. Keep your eyes on this thread as I will update it with features (i'm currently mcgyvering rank images into my own sigs) and the release of my public version will go here too!
For a nice to look at breakdown of everything available to grab, simply look here
