XServerQuery

[Que]

ahh true lol.

dont think {G}ots working on it anymore anyhow and the annoying Arena of Death Servers have since died down.

[TankBeef]

the annoying Arena of Death Servers have since died down.

Hmmm...look closely...apparently now he made a clone of the Deck 16 all weapons server, he even calls it FNN and uses SmartSB. Oh well...

[Que]

Better then the 10 servers he had b4

Ok a question
Does this utility help in detecting fake players. GT certainly does. And if that is possible then it certainly should be UScript implementable.

OOps seems like XBrower question and since I can delete the post, I don't know how to rectify that.

Also let me be clear, it is not that I hate fake servers (maybe I should ), just that I am ready to give enough leeway so that when real human players are present, server is no longer blacklisted.

I want make important note about XServerQuery:

Any version 2.00 or below must be avoided from use. Use this version lead to disappear your server from browser list (or pingers or server lists) if in query appear any unknown command.

This also double damage by one change made before - disable few legitimate commands of protocol. So server can stop respond to query, where 436 stock code answer fine.

Latest version (as for now) is XServerQuery211_fix3.zip, located here: https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?p=135259#p135259

List of affected servers (which respond to my requests, if you know admins of which please notify them, about necessity of update):

Version of used XServerQuery (less from latest 2.1.1) and list of servers, which use this version.
With server game version address and title.

The secure query is used to verify that the server being queried is actually a legit Unreal server. The challenge_string is encrypted using a secret key and sent back:

Code: Select all

\validate\response_string

So it is not something bad. Especially if it short.
It can be used by some pinger like GT, for determine if your Unreal server more real then just simple socket which answer in text.

XServerQuery 211fix4

- return back support for commands
level_property
game_property
player_property
Which be originally cut off.

Package built on 469e.
Will not load on 436 servers. IDK about 440 or 451. Anyway server must be latest 469.

I use latest version 211_fix4 and keep getting 7 entries of

Resolving utmaster.epicgames.com...
[...]
AInternetLink Resolve failed: Can't find host utmaster.epicgames.com (HOST_NOT_FOUND)
Failed to resolve master server address, aborting.

although no INI file contains this host name anymore.
In function class'XServerUplink'.PreBeginPlay() I found the following:

Code: Select all

  MasterServerIpAddr.Port = MasterServerPort;
  if ( MasterServerAddress == "" )
  {
    MasterServerAddress = "utmaster.epicgames.com";
  }
  Resolve(MasterServerAddress);

But in UnrealTounament.ini, section [Engine.GameEngine] XServerUplink is set:

Code: Select all

Noticeable is that there are also 7 entries for "ServerActors=XServerQuery..."
Is this setting wrong?

[bearbeardut99]

Is there any reason why XSQ could be displaying a different country flag than expected in the browser list?
