Possible to add TF2 tracking support? Would love to see TF2 on SL.

Thanks

Hi mate,

if I could find a supporting team which is at least a little bit php skilled, I would run a trackerservice for all source-engine based games.

But atm. I`m a one-men-coding show, and therefor the rebuild for source would be a very long taking task


Edit:
But I will try to implement a pure server-scanner for source based games in a first line

Hey Volker ,maybe this can help you a bit :)

Thanks Chris, but the query part is not the problem (and already written and working).
But I need to rewrite the whole tracking part (parse the response, save it into the database....).
My main concern is the session workout... but we`ll proceed step by step

Update:
Still working on this request, and it looks not too bad at the moment....
For sure I`ll need a couple of days to implement the first steps, but at least it`s in progress :)

Awesome!! Thanks for adding the tracker for TF2!

Tracker is running, looking forward if awards will be generated.

To fully support TF2, I need some support:

a) I need to know the available game-modes (maybe an example IP:Port combination for each one)
b) Interesting flags to read out from server response (also with an example server address)
c) Map-Pics

For me, it`s a pre-beta phase, but thanks to proddi, I should be able to track a hugh list of gameserver types now.....

Mappics (official Maps) : http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/List_of_maps/de
But i think there are now official mappics... :/

Also found this lists, but to implement it the right way,I need example servers so scan and analyze the request-response.

As all subscribers of our splatterletter know, we have setup a beta feature for tracking TF classic and TF II servers. Everyone interested goes HERE.

Thanks! For some reason I can't find our server. Does it crawl all servers by default or we add and then it crawls? Curious.

Thanks for all your(staff) work!

Update: I don't think our server is password protected. Can you look at that?

Currently we ran into some trouble.When we have more than 2k server in the list, the tracker totally stalls.
I asked Proddi for some further help to solve this issue.

Regarding the password, I`m a little confused.
The server (also the one from combat-funzone) responding with sv_password 1 ....
Do you have an example server where the password protection is enabled, so that I can take a look on the differences?

I checked this one:

http://tf.splatterladder.com/?mod=serverinfo&idx=240

https://speed-on.com/server/72.5.195.250:27015/#vars

I don't have any server with password protection on. My co leader handles TF2 so I am not much sure of it. If you like I can ask him and you both can work out in PM's. Let me know if that sounds good. Are you registered on our forums?

Would be very cool mate.

OK, more than 2 weeks are gone, so I`ll keep you up to date:

I`m developing a complete new tracker-scanner since the current one stalls when more than round about 2k server are added.
Therefor the basic implementation phase will be extended.

Hopefully the real tracker will be ready and online soon. (I`m on vacation on Oct. 13- Oct. 29,so 12th should be my very private deadline )

So langsam wirds doch :)
