Just noticed there is completely no information available on the filters you can use so using information I have noted down from another list and my extra notes this should be all you need.
Game: \gamedir\tfc Basically it's the directory the mod is stored in on your computer (well the servers but I doubt many if any servers change them) e.g. C:/SIERRA/Half-Life/tfc (\gamedir\tfc) for TFC C:/SIERRA/Half-Life/cstrike (\gamedir\cstrike) for CS Map: \map\2fort Dedicated Server: \type\d I did try l for Listen Servers thinking it would be like when 'details' is sent to servers but that didn't work. Servers that are not empty: \empty\1 Servers that are not full: \full\1 Linux only: \linux\1 \linux\0, \win\1, \windows\1 don't work so I don't think Valve want us to find windows servers. :( HLTV Servers: \proxy\1 Even though the filtering ability is in the Half-Life client to not show HLTV proxies there doesn't seem to be an actual filter that is sent to the master server. So those checks are probably done client side. :( Servers running VAC (secure mode): \secure\1 \secure\0 will not show insecure servers, I guess this makes those who use cheats have a harder time finding servers that are not secure and instead have the fun of downloading the full list to check through. The filters can be combined. So for example if you wanted TFC running the HLDM map Bounce that are neither empty or full you would use. \gamedir\tfc\map\bounce\empty\1\full\1 At the time of writing this I only got 2 servers sent back to me, ah well. :P Or maybe CS servers that are secure and running docks (my favourite and the only CS map that I can remember from when I used to play CS, I also do know this has been since removed from CS updates *sulk*) :P \gamedir\cstrike\map\docks\secure\1 There maybe more filters than this so if anyone knows them please post them and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong somewhere but I tested these as I added the notes and they seemed to work fine. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlcoders- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Detritus > Sent: 02 January 2003 03:40 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Sending commands to HLDS > > Hmm > I couldn't find anything in the VERC articles unless I searched with the > wrong words. :P > Best I found was the protocol information from the SDK on the forums. > http://www.chatbear.com/uploaded/1004597016-server%20protocol.txt > > ^ Might have to register to see it but I doubt it unless it's protected > by .htaccess > > Anyway I think the original poster has all the information now to begin > building something. :) > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlcoders- > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ryan "Professional Victim" > > Desgroseilliers > > Sent: 02 January 2003 05:59 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Sending commands to HLDS > > > > Yeah, the articles there work nicely (although they do use Delphi > which > > may > > not be particularly intuitive) -- there was also one at the VERC > > collective > > as well if I'm not mistaken.
