[bfprog] GameSpy v3 (BF2) Parsing.....

[EvilYoda]

Hi,

Thanks for your responses!

I've been looking at the qstat code and it is very relatively complex
and supports many many games... It also does not provide all the data
returned by the query for some reason... I don't know if it is just this
early version.. But I'm the same fella who just wrote a PHP wrapper for
the latest version (different e-mail address here!)
http://www.unholyplayground.com/BF2Status/

But... I didn't really say why I was creating a BF2 query in java... The
reason is that for BF1 I created a web-based database driven admin tool,
(admins had separate logins, admin cmds logd to DB, player bans kicks
posted to web-page and had an unban request system, and integrated into
stat DB for finding tards) The tool needed gamespy to figure out the
teams. The admin.listplayers does not do it. So this is just one small
piece required for me to port my web based admin tool to BF2, and I need
it in java. I thought about simply calling qstat, but I plan on
releasing it this time (I've been working on and using this tool for
over 2 years now), and I don't want to make the setup that complex. I'm
almost there... I just have to keep reading qstat to figure out how they
deal with these crazy packets. I don't see anything in the gs3 specific
code, so it makes me think maybe it has been this way a long time and
the underlying query layers and assembly stuff just knows how to deal
with it. But it is a pretty complex query tool, so I have a lot of
reading to do.

Anyways, I'll post something if I find out how to deal with split chunks.
