libt is a library (so far only for linux), which gets loaded before hlds and will replace functionality regarding server query info response. The goal is to allow steam clients to see NS servers in favorites again (this stopped to work few days ago). Servers running dproto with old answer type were suddenly hidden for steam clients (they didn't appear in favorites list). You have possibility to turn on new answer type, but then of course you loose P47 players. With libt your hybrid P47/P48 server should be visible also for steam clients.

As this functionality is now provided by dproto>=v0.2.7. it is not very likely libt will be further maintained. You can still use it with dproto<=v0.2.6., but consider upgrading to dproto v0.2.7. and let libt quietly die.


I created separate topic for libt, because I felt that dproto topic is starting to get a little hijacked.

Features (or what should work):
- cs 1.6 clients NS P47, NS P48 and steam P48 should see your server in favorites
- quakestat and gametracker should not have problems to see your server and fetch player list

Current version is:
- 0.3 - http://lambdacore.info/libt_03.zip

Old versions:
- 0.2 - http://lambdacore.info/libt_02.zip
- 0.1a - http://lambdacore.info/libt_01a.zip

Current bugs:
- some 3rd party apps may see server as offline, or player info may be missing
- if you just need it for stats consider using subserver feature of dproto

Changelog:
- 0.3
- enhanced managment of list of current players
- my test server now shows on gametrack as online + player names/times are visible too
- code size almost doubled since 0.1a

- 0.2
- tries to fix problems with 3rd party apps querying server, or at least for most of them
- successfully tested with quakestat and gametracker (but no players?)

- 0.1a
- initial version, tested with NS P47, NS P48 and steam clients

I thinkt this is a problem with faulty packet.

I agree, I'll see if I can do something about it.
If not, then some mirror port for specific query version could be added, which could be used for 3rd party apps (without sending the faulty packet).

Yes, now I'm using this

OK, I think I might be able to fix this, at least first tests look promising. (Fingers crossed.)

I can be your beta tester

Thanks, any help is appreciated . I'll update the first post in ~10-20 minutes with new version.

--- EDIT ---
almost 30 minutes later:
0.2 added to first post

still offline in gametracker :S

That should work with v0.2,.. With each instance of client and 3rd party the complexity increases, because each one expects a little bit different input, and reacts a little bit different to various "mutations" of response packets.

Anyway..
I made version 0.3, which is available in first post. My testing server now shows online on gametracker, and also player numbers/names/times are displayed. But of course it'll need some observation over longer period of time. As usual your feedback is welcomed.

can you explain exactly what's the problem? coz I can add servers with dproto (with old style answer type) fine by putting the IP in the add servers thing, pressing "Find games at this address" then Add

Tested with:
-Legit Steam
-dproto 0.2.6 with ServerInfoAnswerType = 1




Thanks

Works fine, but I still waiting for version with fixed player list on GameTracker and Game-Monitor
Nice work, maybe, you should call a dproto and libt to a .so file and load into a LD_PRELOAD?

Exactly this doesn't work for me, and also for few other people. Have you updated your cs installation recently? This problem appeared about a week ago after some steam update.

When my steam client receives old answer type 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0x6d it will just ignore it.

I tried to replicate your test using [DPROTO] Version 0.2.6 Linux, ServerInfoAnswerType = 1 and following server version. But all I've got was 'server not responding'.



Can you write 'version' in your legit steam client?
This is what I get:

Version 0.3 works fine, but you should add a config file, because I don't need print a messages from the libt
Now, you should call a dproto and libt, and optimise this plugin

0.3 is ok with gametracker for now
