Now then Steve, I have a crazy (yet brilliant) idea.. :-)
I was fooling around and realised that the HL1 servers also respond to the
T, U and V packets.. As we know by now, U (players) and V (rules) share the
same format whether the server is HL1 or HL2.
The T-packet (details) however, is different.. HL1 servers respond with the
'm' packet and HL2 servers respond with the 'I' packet. Now, seeing this I
came up with a great idea.. A universal qstat/halflife thingy.. Something
along the lines of:
1. send T, U and V.
2. examine T-reply, if 'm' -> HL1, if 'I' -> HL2.
3. return results.
This way, qstat could be used to query a server and show the details without
the user having to figure out if the server is running HL1 or HL2. I myself
could use this feature..
I suppose this could pretty much be done using existing qstat-code? The
servertype could still return HLS / HL2S, identifying the gametype for later
use..
So Steve, what do you think?? ;-)

Yes just fixed BETA 4 now available :P
Packet validation was too strict. I've removed the protocol version
check for the time being.
