Re: [Xqf-developer] UT2003 support

[Alex B. <al...@fr...>]

I was thinking about a better way to fix this.  What I was thinking was
instead of capturing the game port from the master, capture the query port
instead.  Then when launching the game look up the game port from the
server variables (hostport) and use that.

Then it occured to me that this was already done.  Is this not what you
had done originally and I changed when I added the ugly hack for UT2
masters?

You had UT2S configured with -gps instead of UT2S.  There was no master at
the time but if you added a server you would add it using x.x.x.x:7787
instead of :7777 and it would query and launch (I assume) correctly.  You
had that piece of code in the ut_exec to pull out the hostport.

I can now see the server I was missing in the list and it launches fine.
Actually, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, but that's a problem with the
master, not XQF...

I'll commit the changes.

I don't think the way we are currently handling UT2003 support is correct.

The masters provide a list in the format of:

ipaddress  game-port  query-port

We are using the qstat .qstatrc file which defines the query port as game
port + 10.  This is correct for 98% of the servers, but there are some
that do not.  Right now I am missing 56 servers from the list because of
this.

The fact that the master lists the query port separately instead of just
assuming +10 like how UT1 assumed +1 shows that the game supports changing
the query port.  Otherwise, they wouldn't have it in the list.  So, I
think we should parse the query port correctly and allow it to be entered
when adding a UT2003 server manually.
