[users]Nitro · Post by **[users]Nitro** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 8:52 am

I am a vb.net 2003 programmer. I would like to know how to programmatically query a halo server to get the current map, players, stats, etc. I am totally clueless on how to do this, can someone please give me a small tutorial or send me in the right direction?

Wait till I release the source code to HSQT [later this week] and then you could steal the info from there. Or you could go check out the source of one of the many PHP query scripts.

I have released the source to version 0.75b4 of my Halo server browser. You can get it from here:

It should be pretty obvious what functions are used for querying the server and parsing the response. They are all contained in net.cpp and halo.cpp.
