Creating a Live stream

[VaginaMuncher]

I am fully aware that this has a reference to Habbo so don't point out the obvious...
So why did I post it here? Because no one else would respond the Habbo community is mostly noobs who couldn't fix a markup in HTML. So I figured as this would be visible to more users I'd take the opportunity
​

This is infact a Roleplay server and I have it all up and running, custom emulator & cms design.
Do not get thrown of by the fact its habbo as it will have nothing much to do with it. I want to pull a live stream which would be like as follows:

Example; a user kills another user, (Fred vs Brad, Fred wins and kills him)
So it would show a picture of Fred's head saying "Fred 'killed' Brad"

Not just for hitting etc, would be general list of wanted people so when you become wanted you get put on instantly automatically.

And the question is?

How is it possible? Like how can I pull this off?

Are these actions stored in your database?

You will need to modify the server code, so when a user is killed, it pulls the killers name (preferably by id incase of a name change) along with their look. (you would then need to do this for all actions you wish to log)
From this you will then insert this into a database table, lets say live_feed
Id, user, action, time

I have added action in there, so you can specify what happens (user killed, user dead, user arrested) this way you can then maybe have a 'sort by' for the live feed allowing users to see various logs

Wow that seems complicated

Not really, for each action you wish to log, have it insert into a database table.
And then you load that data into your live feed and display it to the users

the way i thought to do this is like Kaz said, everytime a user kills somebody, write this to the database then simply (jquery?) on the live feed which shows this data from the database

When you say edit the server do you mean the emulator itself?

Yes, i would suggest having a cron run aswell that clears out the live feed and leaves x entries so it doesnt fill up
