Yeah, I just finished it.  It connects to any HalfLife 1/2 server and tells whos on it, what map, and all that Jazz!

I would if it wasn't so messy... maybe.


btw, if you want to make your own, heres the protocol pages:

http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/Code/Networking/serverqueries.html
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_Server_Queries

The first page is better since it also includes the format of the HL1 version.

Oh btw, Its all in UDP.  ;)

Player count is 6/10, but it shows 5 people? :P

[igimo1]

Probably a bot

[Newby]

Bots? No
Bot count: 0

Nope. :(

[Blaze]

They are either connecting or downloading, and haven't reported a name to the server. :)

Packet Number     byte    The lower four bits represent the number of packets (2 to 15) and the upper four bits represent the current packet starting with 0

That's pretty interesting, using a nybble packetID and a nybble for something else. I wouldn't send more than one packet at once like they describe, but that could be useful if you're only supporting 16 packets.

EDIT -
I hate the way they handle some stuff, such as L for Linux and W for Windows, which I'd do 0/1 for, and only providing 1 for VAC/Password (not specifing that 0 is false).

[Blaze]

You shouldn't need to send more then one packet at a time really, other then the rules which are useless.

0/1 is true and false, not Linux and Windows, although iago would think they are the same. :)

They assume anyone who would need the protocol is smart enough to tell that 0 is false, else is true. :P

Look on pscode, there are 5 or 6 sources in each language that do this.

Yeah, and... I'll have the server up sometime this week if you want try it, anyone.  :)

Heh, I just took a look at the documetation, Looks fairly easy, I'm going to program on in C#  :D

[Sidoh]

Congratulations.  Anyone can make crazy claims, but that doesn't mean that they should be praised for them.  You're lucky I'm nice.

I'd be careful flaunting your programming abilities here.  Someone might bite your fingers off.  (Yes, that was meant to be a joke and a metaphor).
