Neh, GSA hasn't shut down yet. It will happen today and it will probably affect Renegade too, if it doesn't then it will happen on 30 June when EA shuts down their games.

This is captain Iran speaking.

RenCorner marathon is using Dragonade 1.5 to broadcast to GSA. It's broadcasting to the clone at renmaster.cncnet.org with broken brenbot settings though:

[22:16:16] [22:16:16] <hifi> \gamename\ccrenegade\gamever\838\hostname\\hostport\\mapname\C&C_Under_RxD\g ametype\C&C\numplayers\12\maxplayers\50\CSVR\1\DED\1\password\0\DG\\TC\\FF\\ SC\\SSC\brenbot1.54.243\timeleft\0.00.00\Website\www.renforums.com\queryid\2699. 1
[22:16:37] [22:16:37] <hifi> but it doesn't have the port anywhere
[22:16:42] [22:16:42] <hifi> hostport and hostname are both empty

Dragonade 1.5 seems to work fine with the clone, it's used by MPF UltraAOW to broadcast there. It's just lacking support for multiple GSA master servers.

Something which Brenbot misses is info for both teams, score/kills/deaths. Dragonade shows two fake players called 'Nod' and 'GDI' to show this info. hifi would like this info to be added to BRenBot for his server list at http://cncnet.org/renegade-servers

BrenBot also doesn't allow you to use a custom value for the 'gametype' option while Dragonade 1.5 does. hifi wants to use that to display gametype info.

JSON API now available:

[22:59:28] [22:59:28] <hifi> http://cncnet.org/renegade-api now exports the crap
[22:59:40] [22:59:40] <hifi> _players=1 will enable player listing
[22:59:47] [22:59:47] <hifi> _active=1 will filter only active servers
[22:59:59] [22:59:59] <hifi> key= without any value will add a key to reply from gs data
[23:00:09] [23:00:09] <hifi> and key=value will filter by gs key/value pair
[23:00:40] [23:00:40] <Iran_> can you show an example
[23:01:04] [23:01:04] <hifi> http://cncnet.org/renegade-api?_active=1&_players=1&timeleft= show all active servers and their players, add timeleft key into reply

First I've heard of any issues with the GSA plugin, can you elaborate exactly what problems you're seeing so I can look into them? I don't run or have access to any server which uses a GSA master server so it's hard to actually test things out on my end.

The hostname which RenCorner Marathon is sending is empty. Doesn't seem to be a BRenBot issue, just a configuration one as other servers running BRenBot show up fine.

There are three requests:
1. Allow the 'gametype' option to be configurable, at the moment it always sends 'C&C'. Dragonade 1.5 already allows this and hifi might add support for displaying it in the online server list.
2. Add player kills/death/time to player info.
3. Add two fake players Nod and GDI with team score/kills/death.

RenList will be updated to query renmaster.cncnet.org by 1-Jul 4AM GMT. Server owners may use "master-gsa.renlist.n00b.hk" to broadcast to where RenList query information.

When I host a server it correctly displays player count but it doesn't show players in game in the listing.

That apparently is a bug with latest BRenBot from what I heard, it's working fine for Jelly Marathon

Fake players is a bad idea, however the GSA spec already has a correct way for sending team scores so I'll add support for that.

This goes in the players response and looks like this;
\score_t0\100\score_t1\150

Updated copy of the GSA plugin for BRenBot 1.54, you don't have to replace your XML file unless you want to use the new game_type config value, it will default to C&C if you don't have the entry.

Also added renmaster.cncnet.org as a default entry in the master servers list.

Note that this version of the plugin more closely follows the GSA spec and sends player teams as numericals rather than strings. The string for the team name is contained in the new team data which is sent as part of this update (\team_t#\teamnamehere\score_t#\teamscorehere). Clients which do not follow the GSA spec correctly might require updates to render this correctly.

Revision: 311

Message:
Updated GSA plugin to 1.1
 - Added player kills and deaths to player data response
 - Added team names and scores to player data response
 - Player teams now show their numerical ID instead of the textual name (clients should read the name from \team_t#\name\ instead, where # is the players indicated team)
 - Support for setting a custom gametype via config XML
 - Added renmaster.cncnet.org to list of default master servers in config XML

Awesome Very Happy

Rencorner marathon is now showing the current hostname on CnCNet. hifi wrote a launcher to handle renegade:// URIs and I'm almost done writing an installer for it.

Where does BRenBot read the port it uses to broadcast too and receive data from clients from?

Could people test this installer for me? It should find your Renegade directory and ask you to install to it. Afterwards you should be able to connect to servers listed on http://cncnet.org/renegade-servers by clicking on their IP address on that page.

That's what I get with revision 313. Any ideas? Regardless of that being messed up, we're on RenList and people can connect, so that's all that matters. Very Happy

I'd need to see the actual raw query strings it's sending back really to see what the problem is (assuming its not a parsing issue in your client)
