Python 3 ET GetserversResponse

[Zelly]

It is a response to getservers to a sv_master server

 

So I am trying to figure out what I gotta do to interpret this:

 

Right now the only way I can even read that much is to just open a file and 'wb' to the file.

I have looked at the code in C that parses it but I don't see anywhere where it decodes it, it just seems to know that they are addresses. First time I have worked with this sort of problem, normally the responses for ET just come over as plain text.

 

Any help appreciated.

a hex dump + ascii would have been more useful

 

edit: what do you mean by 'decode'?

As SunLight already said try using a hexdump such as

 

0x5C seems to be the delimiter, after that 4 bytes for the ip, 2 bytes for the port and another delimiter

 

Convert 5C 08 09 04 E3 6D 39 5C without delimiter to decimal and you are done

0x08 8

0x09 9

0x04 4

0xE3 227

0x6D39 27961

 

 

Does anybody know a good description about the protocol?

[SunLight]

yes I think it's just IP addresses+port, you need to send a getinfo to them if you want to get server name, etc. and parse the server response

Sorry late reply, was out, then was too tired/lazy to work on this again.

 

I just meant I didn't see anywhere where it did anything special to the response in the C code. I don't know C though so that is probably why

 

Is this what you need? http://pastebin.com/Dgke5FnV

 

@cubbie I think I understand will see if I can totally grasp it with some trial and error.

Yes that was easier to read , as cubbie said '\' is the delimiter and then you have an ip address, 4 bytes and the port in 2 bytes.

 

You don't see anything special in the C code because the ips are just stored, and the server info is taken in other places (by sending a getinfo)
