Server Query data

bashy

So the Steam version of MW3 used the Valve protocol to get data about the game server.

Is this still supported?

I need a way of getting player count and hostname value for our hosting platform.

It uses the plain old Q3 protocol, any pre-made query for CoD 1 to 6 should work just fine.

Xerxes Thanks for confirming. I have just tried quake3 and it timed out too. Do I have to enable or set anything for the query stuff to work?

What port are you trying?

bashy

Using 2304 for the server's net_port and I'm using that to query it as well.

Must be an issue on your end because it works perfectly fine.

Strange one. Works in HLSW (map and players) but has timeout for ping. I'll try investigate, now I know the correct protocol. Thanks for your time.

VVLNT

I don't think getstatus is implemented, or at least I'm not getting a response either. But instead you can use getinfo for fetching the hostname and other info of the server, and rcon "password" status for fetching the playerlist and mapname.

bashy

VVLNT That might be why then. Thanks for the insight.

Made a new protocol with quake3 but changed getstatus to getinfo with infoResponse and I've got back this.

EDIT: clients is player count? Might be good to go then!
