Heya, I've been messing around with GSA again to familiarize myself with a different programming language and I noticed some odd GSA queries from the Sla Mutant Co-Op server. Does anybody know what they are using for making GSA queries? I want to know if I should just special case it, or actually write more robust parsing logic.

Here is the query:

\gamename\ccrenegade\gamever\838\hostname\!~Sla Mutant Co-Op~!\hostport\8888\mapname\RF_Factory.mix\gametype\co-op\numplayers\1\maxplayers\24\BW\5500000\CSVR\1\DED\1\DG\1\

In specific, the odd part is

\final\gamespy.queryID\4471

in which "final" is not a key/value pair as per the GSA protocol specification. Also, they use "gamespy.queryID" instead of "queryid", which is fine, but its another special case I have to add to keep the query ID's out of my GUI.

I dont know about the gamespy.queryID thing but there is code in Renegade (function named send_final) that will do the following:
1.optionally send \validate\blah (depending on whether the function is passed a certain value and where blah is some encrypted/encoded string)
2.send \final\ with no value after it
and 3.send \queryid\x.y (where x is some sort of query ID and y is some sort of packet number)

Probably a typo on that gamespy.queryid, but isn't really important at all, after final you should ignore anything else sent from my server.

PS: It's my own GSA code.
