querying master & regular WolfET server

(YourFather_CZ) #1

Hi,

I’m coding (Java) simple WolfET server browser.

If I send query to WolfET master server via UDP packet containing:

\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FFgetservers 84

I recieve fine response.

However, if try to query WolfET server via UDP packet containing:

getinfo\u00E1

or

getinfo\u00A0

or

getstatus\u00E1

or

getstatus\u00A0

it always responds me:

\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FFdisconnect

Any idea how to obtain infos about WolfET servers properly? :rolleyes:

Yes! I did this with php last week… Will try to find the code :wink:
Anyway I can tell you this already:

You get all long string of informatin in 5 or 6 bytes and then another
The ascii sign you get back you have to translate back to a number so for example A will produce 65
the first 4 bytes explain the IP so
AAAA will make 65.65.65.65 after that there will follow 2 or 1 byte.
The first byte you need to multiple by 256 and then + the 2nd byte if that is included. This will make the port you need.

Obtaining `IP:port ’ list works pretty good.

But I’m unable to retrieve information about every single WolfET server (players, sv_hostname, etc.).

That’s not included in the master list, you have to connect to all servers individually and put the getstatus command to retrieve that information.

Where did you get those from?

Messages are always sent with the 4 byte marker first, then the command, so it should be

\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FFgetstatus

I tried this one too - doesn’t woork too. :frowning:

I thought it was \xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFgetstatus\x00 at least I used that with php

Hi daddy, Luke ? :wink: (Sorry i could not resist to quote Darth Vaders “Luke i am your Father” :stuck_out_tongue: )

a buddy of mine just released a Java thing (converted to .exe) wich displays or query our server and he told me to try :

string getstatus = 0xFF + 0xFF + 0xFF + 0xFF + "gestatus
";

Hope it works :slight_smile:

Thanks for help to all. :slight_smile:

This opened my mind…

There was a problem with using incompatible data types.

I’ve been using this:

byte[] message = "\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FFgetstatus".getBytes();

\u00FF - this is Unicode escape sequence which requires 2 Bytes of memory, however `byte’ datatype takes only 1 Byte

Now I’m using this and everything works fine now:

			byte[] message = "XXXXgetstatus
".getBytes();
			for ( byte index = 0 ; index < 4 ; index++)
			{
				message[ index ] = (byte) 0xFF;
			}
