[hlcoders] A2S_RULES just getting another challenge

2010-06-14 Thread C-F Strid
Heyo.

This is perhaps not entirely related to the subjects of this list, but
I'll give it a go.

I'm trying to query a server for ConVars using a C# application (code
snippet here: http://csharp.pastebin.com/PW8Hfajm).

I've followed the instructions on this page
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Server_queries#A2S_RULES

... but instead of returning rules, I get another challenge number.
The packets seem to be in perfect order:
http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/packets.jpg

The server is fully functional and is listed on Game-Monitor and the
like, so I'm obviously doing something wrong here. Any input would be
appreciated.

Cheers,

I am not sure what you are doing wrong but this library may be of

On a note, doesn't it look like you're sending FF FF FF FF 57 when you're
expected to send FF FF FF FF 56  in that first packet?

Re: [hlcoders] A2S_RULES just getting another challenge

2010-06-14 Thread C-F Strid
@Harry: Thanks. I've already tried tools created by other people (not
that one though, the one I tried was just called Source Query Tool).
It worked, but I really want my application to stand on its own legs.
:

@Harry: Looks right to me (?). The first packet would be the
A2S_SERVERQUERY_GETCHALLENGE. The second is the reply, where I've
taken the four last bytes and stuck them in the A2S_RULES request.
Then the resulting reply is all weird. I'm assuming it's because
something's wrong with the entire challenge bit. :d

I'll go ahead and try getting it from the rules request instead.

HLDS is broken, send -1 as challenge ID in the first rules query and you 
will receive a valid challenge ID which you can use again for the real rules 
query.

That worked. Thanks guys.

Side note though: I'm not getting all the ConVars I'd like, and the
last one is cut off. The dev wiki mentions this. Still no solution?

Possible solutions (for Source):

1) use rcon
2) use the remote logging facility
3) bribe someone at Valve to fix their broken Source Query protocol
4) bribe someone at Valve to release proper documentation for it too
