Silly me... I figured this out. I'm still not sure how qstat deals with
spanned packets... But it was obvious once I stopped being a goon.. I
was transposing some digits, and I see that when a data chunk is
restarted in gamespy the first byte before the chunk is resumed is the
index you are starting at again. For example, player #62 may have been
truncated in the first packet, but then you receive packet #2 with
player#62 repeated, and you will get the full name. Preceding the name
(or whatever data element is in that chunk, like score, or deaths)
there is a byte that says what index the data element resumes at.<br>

<pre wrap="">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!)

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.

If you're looking for a project, I'd suggest converting qstat to
become a general library that can be invoked by other languages (Perl,
PHP, Python). You can probably host it at SourceForge or check the
Subversion site for lists of free subversion providers. Also look into
Google's "Summer of Code" project.
