A clan member of ours wrote an awesome program called Nigel the Bot that we use to monitor our QW server. It sends a request for information to our server at fixed intervals and does lots of useful things with the answer it gets from it.
Does Brink work in a similar way?

Well yes and no, you can use the same request: \xff\xffgetstatus\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00, it responds but doesn’t give usable information. This will be waiting till they give us some info 
Thanks for the reply. Tried it and I see what you mean. I do get an answer, but there’s nothing useful in it. Guess we’ll have to be patient.

If your bot uses qstat, then the protocol is a2s with the port number #27016.
A2s is a HL2 protocol, so your NTB bot needs to support that.
