Searching For A Good Server Finding Tool

Wolhay · May 2003

I want a reliable program that is fast, can show the entire names of the servers and has very little spyware or trojans.

I've used the All seeing eye earlier but now when I try to install it it gives me this message:
</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>master server unreachable
unable to verify file athenticity. You can still press Install if you're feeling crazy."</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
The problem is that I don't feel crazy

At the moment I'm using Gamespy 3D but it's awfully slow if you want to update to see if new servers has popped up.

All Seeing Eye.....
<a href='http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2/index.html' target='_blank'>http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2/index.html</a>

Esay enough to set up and use if ya follow the instructions..

I would reccommend HLSW, but afaik, that cant search master servers..

Which instructions should I follow? Perhaps I should just become crazy?

<a href='http://www.hlla.net' target='_blank'>.hlla</a>. I think it's better than ASE and it's free.

hlla. all the way, completely free, and has all the features as ase.

I use <a href='http://www.serverquery.com/' target='_blank'>Server Query</a> and i've had no problems with it so far. It doesn't have as many features and stuff as The All-Seeing Eye but it does it's job well.

Personally, KALI is alive and quite well now. I love it cause oh yeah baby, it's got support for more than one game. It's got a problem of registeration, but before Gamespy came around, KALI was number one for a lot of reasons. It's got a lot more than you think and is really the best money I've spent on the net so far. Just give it a try <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

<a href='http://www.kali.net/' target='_blank'>http://www.kali.net/</a>

P.S. It will take a while to get back to full production because of production issues....it's all there. Check for Cyrus242!

.hlla is only for known server but I might use this for my favourites.

Thanks for the suggestions I’ll look into these program. At the moment I’m using Gamespy Arcade and I find it quite good apart from the advertisement that delay the program which I can't even see because of some script error but that might just be as good.

OMG ROFL!!!

Click on the .hlla GameBrowser button

actually .hlla has more features than ASE

one good feature is that it can wait for a free slot on a server and when you can join it launches HL, CD, makes you away on IRC and many such things. ASE doesn't have that "wait for free slots" option

Wolhay · June 2003

FLOFG, Silly me read the readme that stated that it was for known servers since there's a lack of information on the program otherwise.

I'll probably use the hlla now since it shows the nationality of the servers which will make it easier to tell which servers most likely have the courtesy to use english.

ASE does wait for a open slot and then launch

gforce · June 2003

I am surprised that there are that many .hlla fans here. Thanks for your support guys. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

THen I probably have an old version... My ASE just says server full.

Why don't you try the program 'The All Seeing Eye'? It found a HEAP load of servers for Natural Selection!

...Doc, what is that?...

A MONSTER!!!!

Actually, ASE certainly does have wait for free slots option. ASE also opens CD the moment you are joining a CD REQ server.

I would have wanted to try .hlla, but it was way too confusing. I couldn't find a way to browse the games at all....

I was kinda looking for my lovely ASE sidebar <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

FireStorm · June 2003

Yeah I don't like the fact you have to click on "hlla GameBrowser" button to search for servers...
But I usually play on servers in my favourites list so it's not a big problem.

ThinG · June 2003

I tried .hlla after reading this thread, and I must say I like it.

Very user friendly, good options, nice clear and simple interface

Very nice work gforce <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
