Feature Request(s)

[tagban]

Hello,

First off I am currently trying to get things working on my Mac Mini but I have intentions to move the primary hosting over to my gaming server I run from a more dedicated internet connection which runs Windows Server. So my requests come from a place of, how to expand Hotline without breaking original clients. Some things I've seen that I'd love to see implemented in a server:

• Storing Chat Log with an option to send the chat log to the end-user upon joining the server (Perhaps just the last 30-50 lines, nothing large but enough to let them catch up on what they might have missed?)
• Database Connectivity: MySql or MariaDB options to allow for chats/users logged in/etc, stored in a DB. I'm thinking long term web-interface for seeing activity.
• Discord API integration and/or Matterbridge integration, allowing the server chat to be shared out.

And unrelated to Server/Client: Long term hopes: An upgraded tracker software, that can do database source possibly even connect to servers and check file listings for servers publicly listed on hltracker.com to allow a very similar function like tracker-tracker.com used to have (Search for files across servers).

Modernizing this stuff allows the old and new to work together which is awesome. And the tracker especially I'd want to do in a HTML4 compliant website so that older machines can still use it.
