We will be revising the Source server query format in the near future to remove some architectural problems with it. All the existing queries apart from PING will be altered by this change (i.e will require your tools to be updated). There will be a period where both systems coincide but we want to be aggressive in removing support for the old protocol. This change may be ported to the HL1 engine also.
We have been assessing various protocols (both from other vendors and from the public), this is your chance to request features or suggest other standards to consider. The current plan is to make the minimal set of changes to remove the problems we found (making it easier for tools to update) but as we are breaking the protocol we are open to larger changes. You can make feature requests or suggestions to this list (hlds_apps) or to me directly. - Alfred _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
