http://aims.wasted.ch/tolservers <- Not perfect yet but already useful. Can alert you when people are playing.

Nice ;)

Did you have a look into the road-meshes for the wall idea we discussed?

Great idea for a tool.

But this thing does not work correctly for me. If I load the page, it says “Sound init failed” and if I test the sound it doesn’t play it (“Unable to play sound!”).

I have JavaScript on. Does my browser need something else, perhaps?

Wuzzy, if you have a GitHub account (or maybe you can do it without one), open an issue at https://github.com/fr1tz/aims-tolservers/issues and paste the messages from the JavaScript console. If you need a GitHub account for that and don't have one, just paste it here.

I had the opposite problem: i was nagged constantly by some strange beep.
It took me ages to find out that the pinned tab of that webapp was the source :P

@mray: Crap, I was afraid that would happen to someone ;) Do you have an easy fix to prevent that?

1. make the aditive notification feature very prominent on the page.

or

2. record the sound "A TOL server is waiting for you to join." to replace the beep ;)

http://aims.wasted.ch/tolservers now lists all tol servers, regardless of the version of the game they're running.
