[Script] Qstat xml to html

vlnc · May 2011

A friend write a code with JQuery to transform the .xml from qtstat to a readable .html file.

<b><u>How it works ? :</u></b>

<u>1/ Create a .bat file and put the code from the "1st Part" into it.</u>

edit1 : you will maybe need to change the two paths (set path_qstat= and set path_browser=) if you put qstat and your browser into other path than mine.
edit2 : Change the @IP with your server ip.

<u>2/ Create a .html file and put the code from the "2nd Part" into it.</u>

edit : if you want to change the name of the file result.xml, you'll need to change the value of url: "result.xml", at ligne 11 from html code

<u>3/ Launch the .bat file</u>
<u>4/ Profit.</u>

And I guess another copy-paste can't hurt:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (me)</div><div class='quotemain'>Yar, QStat has issues with NS2's own query-responder for not adhering strictly to the query-protocol (which is surprising), it has to do with QStat demanding a challenge for the rule\player-reply, which NS2 does not give, rather you're supposed to just directly request the data. GameOvermind's QR did both the challenge- and the direct-approach.

Enough of the jibber jabber, what you need to do is query all the servers directly (no need to look a port above or under anymore), and lift the tickrate- and ns2build-information from the gametags-field. It is part of the general-reply (the one that contains the server-name\maxslots et cetera), and looks like: build|gamemode|tickrate %. The uptime-information isn't exposed through it, so that won't be available anymore for the moment, though you don't have to remove the code associated with getting that data from the rules-reply, as when the rewrite of GM is done (in 2020), it'll work again with QStat.

Upside to all this for the moment, is that you can fetch the tickrate-data of all servers that run GM per definition (gives an insight into how many servers actually run it at this point).</div>
