Server Query Documentation?

[_watcher]

I was wanting to code my own server query program but have found no documentation on this. Is any publicly available?

Thanks in advance,

Is there any information about this?

I'm using this query "0xFE,0xFD,0x00,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF" to get info about server, but since some patch (don't remember exactly which one), this query doesn't provide players info.

Anyone know how to query server for player list?

I use the same but players info is included for me.

First I remove \x00\x04\x05\x06\a, then I split at \x00\x00\x00 into array.
At index 0 is all the normal data, and at index 1 is the players data.

I've made some debug and found out, that the problem is in too long mod string (mod hashes), for some reason I get only 1400 bytes and nothing more. If I turn off all mods on server - everything is fine until it fits in 1400 bytes.

I've checked everything. Here is simplified php code:


$sock = @<hidden>("udp://".$data["arma_server"], $data["arma_port"], $error_no, $error_str);
$queryString = pack("c*",0xFE,0xFD,0x00,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF);
fwrite($sock, $queryString);
$reply = fread($sock, 8000);
fclose($sock);

also i tried "while ($line = fgets($sock)) $reply .= $line;", but it hangs if I don't set socket timeout, because for some reason it can't detect eof.

I also checked tcpdump and all i get is one udp packet 1400 length...

:(

Check this out

According to http://www.codeproject.com/KB/game/gameserverinfo.aspx
Most servers only send max 1400-1500 bytes in a single packet. If the info is bigger it is split into multiple packets.
It seems the Ruby and .NET UDPClient handle this automatically for me ;)

Thanks a lot nuxil, will check it!

Thanks for you answers Sickboy!

I ran into this when I started running an ArmA II OA CO server. I think with the 1.59 patch the game query stopped working until I switched to using Gamespy3 protocol.

up.
0xFE,0xFD,0x00,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF packet sending to server:gameport gives no any response. Whats actual packet for 1.59 and how can i get valid query port?

[devilop]

im interested too

Server responds on "FE FD 09" plus any 4 bytes, what for are these bytes?

any programmer info - ie non php related

c possibly?
or basic ?

i was going to make a friend finder but it seems difficult finding info how the queries/replys are handled.
i know the information is around but i dont want to re-invent the wheel when people allready have the info.

Hopefully somebody can help me with this.

For the query of my dedicated servers I've tried

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=243
http://gameq.sourceforge.net/
http://www.greycube.com/site/download.php?view.56

nothing of these works.

Of course the server is online an reachable.
Ports are open too.
Gametracker does tracker the servers but I don't understand why I can't do this?

Could some one tell me what I've to do?

Thanks.

gameq2 works you just need to updated it to latest gamespy protocol

GameQ/gameq/protocols/armedassault2oa.php



class GameQ_Protocols_Armedassault2oa extends GameQ_Protocols_Gamespy3
{
protected $name = "armedassault2oa";
protected $name_long = "Armed Assault 2: Operation Arrowhead";

protected $port = 2302;
}
