Hi there guys, Sorry I couldn't directly reply to the original message but I just subscribed to the list. I found the original mail via mail-archive.com.
I'm trying to implement the Source RCON protocol in Java. So far I'm able to correctly create and send packets, I can correctly authenticate using the server's RCON password and I can send commands and receive their answers, provided they fit in a single packet. My problems start when answers start to span across multiple packets. How am I supposed to to know that a response will be sent in multiple packets? Does the first packet I receive contain this information? I've been looking at the wiki (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_RCON_Protocol) but I couldn't find a solution. How do you handle such situations? And something last. Sometimes when I send for instance a status command, when I read the packet size the server send me, it sometimes is ridiculously large. (sometimes I was supposed to read packets of 1GB). I've read that the max size of sting1 is 4096 bytes. Does that contain the null termination character? At such cases what am I supposed to read? 4 bytes for the request id + 4 bytes for the SERVERDATA response + 4096 bytes for string1 + 1byte for the null string2 or 4 bytes for the request id + 4 bytes for the SERVERDATA response + 4096 bytes for string1 + 1byte for the null termination character of string1 + 1byte for the null string2 Sorry for the really really long mail and thanks in advance! -- Dimitrios Zarras (feugatos) CEID Warfare | TF2, CS:GO, ZPS | ceidwarfare.net _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
