Game Server Query Script

2002-07-29T10:33:49-04:00

Hi!

I got it working with some changes in the TCL code.
I also made a hack to run Qstat on NetBSD, if you're interested then mail me.

But now the Qstat4eggdrop....
I made some changes to the original TCL and I wiped out the player stats, cause it bugged somewhat. I'll put it back ASAP when I figured out what was bugging.

Anyway, go to this url: http://ai-bot.mine.nu/scripts/more/qstat/
grab all the files in it (except the files in the NetBSD directory).

Put them somewhere on ur box (eg. /home/peter/eggdrop/scripts/qstat ).

Open qstat.sh in your favorite text-editor and change the 3 variables, these contains the paths of the qstat program and the server.qstat & players.qstat file.

Open qstat.tcl in a text-editor and change the variables (read the comments).

Make sure everything is right, load qstat.tcl and try it!

I'm using a shell script for 2 reasons:
1) I used it as a hack for NetBSD, it's not tested on Linux but it should work.
2) Gives nicer error messages.

Have fun!

Here is a newer version: http://www.zvdk.nl/~lagg/qstat4eggdrop2.0.tcl
Here is the site for Qstats: http://www.qstats.org
And here is the site of the maker of the OLD qstat4eggdrop with a little HOWTO (very little): http://micke.peachpuff.com/eggdrop/qstat4eggdrop.html

I was working on it too, but i can't get it to work.
Now I am using qstats 1.5, but i can't get over it that i have to use an outdated version.

I run a server community with a few people with more then seven servers and a lively IRC channel #zvdk on quakenet.

The 2.0 version of qstat4eggdrop.tcl only has a little piece of quake2 code, and i am too n00b to convert it to HL.

Can anyone of you guys help me?

If it is done via UDP, then there is no current way of doing it.

However, I have heard of *nix programs, that will download stats from game servers.

The output can be re-directed to file (via a cron job, so that the load on the script, is not too high), and read by a script.

may i tell ya that qstat does EXACTLY this ? it dumps server infos directli into a template file (eg. The $servername is having $players / $maxplayers ....) which the bot gives out...

ppslim,

Game server queries are done with UDP i think. At least thats what gamespy and other PHP query scripts use.

[quote="ppslim"]I am in the mood for writting such a script, but I am unable to locate protocols of any games servers.

If such info becomes available, I may write one.[/quote0]

use qstat tool, it querys Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / HL Engine Servers (this includes mods !!).

I've modified my qstat4eggdrop.tcl so that I can define servers in 2 lines.

But i'm not into tcl scripting, so i can't do it by partline..maybe i'll start learing TCL...
