Server Query Tool


(Schaffer) #1

Hi,

I’m writing my own server query tool which so far works quite well. I can get it to bring back info from servers such as name, location, map, usres, etc… (all the usual stuff). The next thing I want to do with this is to be able to query password protected servers. I know you can only do this if you know the password but at the moment I am not sure if there is a second, or modified, string that you pass to the server which would either include the password or indicate that there is one comming.

If i pass the string (via the socket) “ÿÿÿÿgetstatus” to a password protected server it just baulks at me. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

(BTW I’m only writing this tool for something to do and because I thought it would be a bit of fun)

Passworded and unpassworded servers will both respond to getstatus commands–check for a problem someplace else.
