nexuiz netcode

[Psychcf]

I've recently dove into python, and found a python module that lets you do stuff with quake 3 servers. Is the netcode in nexuiz for server variables, player listings, rcon, etc much different from quake 3?

[KadaverJack]

Server status requests are the same as in q3 (afaik, i never had q3), but they don't include variables. Rcon is based on quake world, not q3, so q3 tools won't work. However both protocols are really simple, so it's just a matter of minutes to write such a python module from scratch

Feel free to use those ruby scripts as reference:

Right, you send rcon commands as a

"\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFrcon hackme whateveryouwanttodo"

packet (in DP SVN, you can separate multiple commands by a \0) and you get responses as packets of the form

"\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFnUnknown command whateveryouwanttodo"

That's all you need to know about the rcon protocol...

That's all you need to know about the rcon protocol...

We're on a need to know basis...and damnit we don't need to know!
