sooo…won't my servers refresh?

[Heretic121]

i usualy get this like ones a week but all I do is just load a Default Config. for cod, than read my active one

 

 

To save your current cfg. open console /writeconfig "NAMEHERE"

 

go to setings reset default save and close

 

start up game check if all ur settings are not there if not your ready to read your config with /exec "NAMEHERE"

that fixes my problems with the master servers.

 

Are you able to do a full refresh of your server list and have it display all of the current servers from the master server?

If not, are you able to after you do your fix?

 

If you can get a full server list, from the master server, then I'll give it a go and see what I can from there

You can create your own master list like someone did in ET. 

 

What you need to do is.. ask servers to add sv_master "Your IP" here .. and on that you can run the back end.  Well you might need modified client also to resolve the issue 

OR you would need to host files for the players and add the entry there for your IP. This way whenever they will query COD4 master server list due to host file modification it would resolve to your IP. See if that works. Once the concept works you can post on steam for users to update there host file and then you can keep maintaining your COD4 master server list. 

 

Example:

set sv_master1 "cod2master.activision.com"
set sv_master2 "cod2authorize.activision.com"
set sv_master3 "cod2master.infinityward.com"
set sv_master3 "cod2update.activision.com"
set sv_master4 "master.gamespy.com:28960"
set sv_master5 "master0.gamespy.com"
set sv_master6 "master1.gamespy.com"
set sv_master7 "clanservers.net"

set sv_master5 "master0.gamespy.com"
set sv_master6 "master1.gamespy.com"
set sv_master7 "clanservers.net"

 

This was exactly my plan. I just need a way to find out what a normal "server list" packet from the master server looks like so that I can mimic it

 

Found it:

 

The MS responds with \xff\xff\xff\xffgetserversResponse\n\x00\\AAAAPP\\AAAAPP\\…\\<DELIM> where AAAA is a GS address, and PP is the GS port. DELIM is EOT for each packet except for the last, which is EOF.

Added quote about how server lists are formatted.
