ServQuery
Version 115

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ServQuery is a fix for UT2003 servers. It fixes and extends the GameSpy
Protocol. ServQuery will fix the backslash bug in the player names and
ServQuery will add a new command to retreive Team information.
Installing ServQuery will also enable server quering when you disable the
master server uplink.

New in version 101:
- more player details:
deaths_# = times the player died
character_# = the character the player uses
scored_# = times this player has scored for the team
carries_# = has a flag/bombing ball
- \rules\ command now displays more information like:
gamespeed, servermode, gamestats, goalscore, timelimit, minplayers,
translocator, mutator (pairs), password usage
Actualy it will just send all the details the new UT2003 query will
return.
- new command: \spectators\
this will return a list with spectators
- new command: \gamestatus\
returns some extra information about the game

Thanks goes to: Ben Smit - ProAsm for a couple of these suggestions

New in version 103:
- fixed a bug in the spectators list
- added a new property in the \gamestatus\ query: nextmap

New in version 104:
- This version has been build to replace the MasterServerUplink. With a new
option to enable GameSpy Protocol listning and disable GameSpy uplink. It's
also independed from the DoUplink setting, so you can disable all uplink
settings and still allow listning to the GameSpy Protocol.

New in version 105:
- You can now set UplinkToGamespy independently to the DoUplink setting, if
you set DoUplink to false and UplinkToGamespy to true it will only uplink
to the GameSpy masterserver and not to the Epic Masterserver.

New in version 106:
- Fixed a bug which caused the Map Cycle to be updated on a \gamestatus\
query

New in version 107:
- Fixed the next map, it displayed the wrong map every time
- Added the \maplist\ command to retreive the maplist

New in version 108:
- Fixes one security flaw
- Tries to fix another security flaw
(http://www.pivx.com/kristovich/adv/mk001/)
This fix implements a few new settings to limit the number of queries
possible.
iProtectionType=0
iMaxQueryPerSecond=180
iMaxQueryPerHostPerSecond=10
The iProtectionType setting defines what form of protection to use:
0: normal behavior
1: limit the number of queries per second (iMaxQueryPerSecond)
2: limit the number of queries per second per host
(iMaxQueryPerHostPerSecond), this one is very slow and might have
an impact on your server when you are being attacked
-1: use both

New in version 109:
- You can specify the time frame (in seconds) the protection will use to
check if the query exceeds the limit (iTimeframe)
- Max Requests Per Timeframe are now logged

New in version 110:
- fixed the \maplist\ query, no all maps should be returned, not untill the
buffer was full

New in version 111:
- changed the response of an \echo\ request to \echo_reply\ (security fix)
- fixed backslashes in mapnames and game info values
- added a new config variable to disable query types
set sReplyTo to the types you want ServQuery to reply yo (only the non
default replies can be disabled). By default sReplyTo=TASGME
T: \teams\
A: \about\
S: \spectators\
G: \gamestatus\
M: \maplist\
E: \echo\ (fixed version)

New in version 112:
- added \lives_#\ to the player details
- added support for \bots\ query to return bot details
user B in sReplyTo to enable this feature
\bots\ returns the same information as \players\ except that the first
field is \bots_#\name (where # is the followup number)

New in version 113:
- fixed the \lives_#\ value
- added a new admin command: \playerhashes_<password>\
Where <password> is the value of config variable: sPassword
sPassword has to be defined and sReplyTo has to contain H in order for
this command to work. This command will return the followinf info for all
players:
\phname_#\player name\phash_#\cdkey hash\phip_#\player ip

New in version 14:
- bug fixes

New in version 115:
- added ping to bots
- added \playtime_#\ to bots and players

-------------------------------- INSTALLATION -------------------------------
Copy the ServQuery.u file to the UT2003 System directory.
Then edit you UT2003 Server Configuration file (UT2003.ini) and add the
following line:

[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerActors=ServQuery.MasterServerUplink

And remove the line:

ServerActors=IpDrv.MasterServerUplink

Also remove the following line:

ServerActors=ServQuery.ServQuery

You can disable listning to the GameSpy Protocol by setting the following in
you configurations:

[ServQuery.MasterServerUplink]
ListenToGamespy=false

To turn off the uplink to the GameSpy master server add the line:

UplinkToGamespy=false

From version 108 ServQuery provides a few security settings, you can tweak
them with the following settings

[ServQuery.ServQuery]
iTimeframe=60
iProtectionType=0
iMaxQueryPerSecond=180
iMaxQueryPerHostPerSecond=10

iProtectionType controlls what security measures should be used:
0: none
1: Limit max queries per time frame (iMaxQueryPerSecond)
2: Limit max queries per host per time frame (iMaxQueryPerHostPerSecond)
-1: Use 1 and 2 together
iTimeframe is the time frame, in seconds, the protection will look in.
You should tweak around with these setting so that you will get the right
value for your server.

Note: these security measures will not protect you for attacks, they will
only make sure that you server is not used for DoS attacks.

------------------------------------ USAGE ----------------------------------
To get team information from the server just send:

\teams\

to the GameSpy Protocol query port. You will then get the following
information:

\team_#\team name\score_#\team score\size_#\team size

Where # is the team number (0 or 1 since there are only 2 teams in UT2003)
When you send a \status\ query to the server you will also get the team
information.

To get a list of spectators send the following query:

\spectators\

to the GameSpy Protocol query port. You will then get the following
information:

\spectator_#\name\specping_#\ping time

Where # a number.

To get extra game information send the following query:

\gamestatus\

to the GameSpy Protocol query port. You will then get the following
information (formatted in the GameSpy Protocol format):

elapsedtime : seconds the game is running
timeseconds : seconds this level has been loaded
starttime : seconds after `timeseconds` the game has started
overtime : if True playing in overtime
gamewaiting : waiting for players
nextmap : the next map that willl be played

When retreiving player names the backslashes ('\') will replaced by ASCII
char 127, this way you can still reconstruct the backslashes in the names.

To get the map list running on the server send the following query:

\maplist\

This will return a list with maps in the following format:

\maplist_#\mapname

Where # is ofcourse the position in the map list.
To check if a server has this update installed you can send the query:

\about\

SOME THINGS NOT EVERYBODY KNOWS:

* You can combine queries (also works with the default option):

\basic\\players\\teams\\players\

* When the last command is an unknown command for UT2003 nothing will be
returned, so if you send:

\basic\\foo\\

You won't receive anything.
Keep this in mind when you use the extentions provided with ServQuery.
Always let the last command be a known command, so for example:

\spectators\\teams\\gamestats\\echo\something

Adding a \echo\something command to the end is a nice solution.

So to see the info I want to display I need to make some kind of template that will display the info at http://MyserversIP\gamestats in a block . The problem is I've never written a hack just modded existing ones. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
