get server IP

[madis]

What's the easiest way to do it? Can be server side as well.

Well... if there's no built-in function to do it, (I don't think there is) maybe you can callRemote() an external PHP script which just returns your IP. Would be easy to make. But why do you need this?

Thanks, robhol.

It isn't mandatory or anything. I just want a server IP to show on scoreboard (actually making a Battlefield Vietnam clone scoreboard for bfv mod, if I'll do it someday).

As robhol says, callRemote to a website is your best bet - there's no real way for a computer behind NAT to know it's external IP.

But could client know the IP last connected to? As there is a list in MTA/coreconfig.xml . I know/think a resource can't access it, but maybe as a feature request of MTA?

http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp returns your IP only, no fancy parsing required. A simple matter for callRemote() to read.

The client could know, yes... I'm surprised that isn't already available to scripts.
