looking for info on getting server-data

[mr_snipes 7]

Hi,

 

few days ago i got the idea to build an own small server-browser like the Dayz-commander for standalone.

Programming yet another calculator from my boring programming-book does not kick it anymore ;)

The small browser should just save me the time to see if my favorite server is even up or stuff like that.

It's required that it works as a launcher as the commander did (but it would be cool if that were possible)

Does anyone know  a properly documented way to pull server-info from the central server ? 

Some way has to exist, gametracker does it too :)

 

Thanks in advance :)

Is this just a programming experiment? You mentioned GameTracker, that does it for SA already, and there's also another.

Thanks for the links king crowbar, the second one was entirely new to me.

 

It is a little idea, yes - like my process-Poker game (you have to decide which process you kill and if the machine crashes you loose) i hope it will be fun to use & build.

 

What i'm thinking about is things like being able to make notes (who is where on that one pvt server of the team)   
Some playing-history and a per-server-history (which one have you played on how much) 

Maybe even some statistics with preditions (which server is usually gonna be full in an hour from now)

you can use the query port of the servers to get the info  !

here is you can read up on how to get the info  https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Master_Server_Query_Protocol
