QueryUT99

Post by ferapontikov »

Hello. As the name suggests, this is another tool for obtaining information about a particular server.
I am an old user (programming is my hobby) in UT99 I have been playing for more than twenty years. Maybe. Someone remembers me, I played under the nickname Shvonder, Sword. In general, I often changed nicknames (I can't remember them all).
In recent years I haven't played because there was no opportunity - there were no servers. The ones that were available didn't suit me. Not long ago, it became so boring that I set a goal to find a suitable server and start playing on it, which successfully came true!
I found a server and I really liked it. Probably it existed before, but was unknown to me. Yes. As I was researching, I found out that the server is quite old and has a forum. I visited the forum - tried to register, but it didn't work (probably registration was disabled). I wanted to post this program (QueryUT99). So - I decided to leave it here.

The program is written in C++. The source code is attached. You can build it using VC 6.0 (or higher) or Borland C++ 5.x
This is what the request looks like when the server is empty:

So, when there is a player/players on the server:
Image

If found players - message beep (play sound if found the file "Entered.wav").
Default query server port 7778.
Launch program without parameters: query the server 185.145.201.61, if the players are not played until the player is discovered.
The request interval is one and a half minutes. Will try to play sound if
the sound file ("Entered.wav") is located next to the program.
Exit "Escape", key "Delete" - cls (clear screen system).
QueryUT99.cpp

hello,
this is interesting but imho it would be nice to add a GUI (or a kind of) to read better server data.
I'm not a programmer so I don't know how much time this work could take.

cheers,
Pietro

UTPe,
Personally, I'm unlikely to do this. It's just not very interesting anymore. Besides, there are already many such programs, for example UT99Query (it's here on this site).
I posted this program because I couldn't do it where I wanted. I thought - will it be useful to someone?
I don't know. Although, if you're really interested in it - I could come up with something over time? :)

I know several server query programs have been published in the past (for years I've been using UTSpy) and I guess many users still use ut99 internal server browser to check traffic on their favourite online servers.
maybe, to do something new and also useful, it could be interesting to build a new server query showing the best features seen in other programs. just my 2cents.
