Do our IPtoCountry MasterServer Providers need an update?

[Eternity]

This old mod needs an update, would be great if some smart guy can fix it.

There is a link with the working solution above - at least 2 web sites out there provide an updated database in the old Maxmind's format.

If no way to run an own php server, then need to wait until existing IPTC public servers admins update their databases...

At the first place i was a american later i became Italian.I think it has something todo with the master server but i can be wrong.

For the 333networks masterserver (including Errorist,OldUnreal, GoneSpy and everyone else who hosts a 333networks masterserver instance) I encountered the same problem.

I used to resolve server IPs to countries with the build-in Perl IPToCountry lookup module, but that one was already outdated when I first started using it. In the Qt5 implementation that is currently running, I currently use a json/web API that can resolve 5 addresses per minute (throttled) and I am looking for a better/integrated solution still. I encountered difficulties with some standard libraries or (expensive/paid) geolocation services that charge for the bulk of lookups.

I would love it if there's a community-ran lookup service that can also facilitate the masterserver web interfaces, so game server locations are displayed properly too. If hosting is a bottleneck, I can ask around at any of the masterserver hosts to make this happen as well.

Hello there, my country flag is messed up, it showed a few times the correct flag (Portugal) but now it shows USA flag, I am not using and never used a VPN. and my whois shows correct info about my country\ip... is there any way I can fix this and change my flag? I have nothing against USA folks but I would rather use my own country flag... any way to update\override it manually maybe?
thanks for your work!

Not for a player. The UT server asks an IpToCountry service (forum.gameclan.pl:80/iptocountry/index.php for example) for the data of a country info file for a specific IP address. An example result could look like

23:16 123.45.67.89:123.45.67.89:KOREA REPUBLIC OF:KOR:kr

Then the graphic flag is chosen depending of the country.

If the country info file is outdated either the IpToCountry service provider has to update it or the UT server maintainer has to use another IpToCountry service provider.
