I'm trying to make a program that'll get the name of a server, it's IP and
what map it's on.
I was going to try using rcon, but you need to know the IP address of the
server to rcon, but i don't want people to have to type it in, what I meant
was is there a way of getting the ip address of the server from the running
instance of hl.exe, after that i could rcon to find everything else out.

You don't even need rcon to get info like whos connected to a server > and
the server name. The question is kinda vague... Do you mean like how
Gametiger.com can search for players that are currently online? or do you
mean like scripts that query an ip/port to report info about the HL server
at that address? What exactly do you mean...
