How to use GameSpy query Protocol 4 for UT3?

[nhouck]

Seems that UT3 uses GameSpy query protocol 4.

 

When setting up the UT3 profile is there anyway to tell it to use this query protocol so that the server can talk to the games? Are there any existing games that use this protocol that can be selected in the Game Compatibility drop down?

 

Also I think it may be a moot point because of the servers picking random ports for the query port but I'm not sure.

 

Thanks,

For it to work, you need to set the query method and the query port.

 

Other games that use the UT3 engine are America's Army 3.0, Rainbow Six Las Vegas and Medal of Honor Airborne.

Can you give me a little help in doing this? I don't have any of those games in my list so I can't look into those configs for the info. I suppose I need to manually edit the game config file for this, please let me know where I can find more info.

 

Thanks,

In the game compatibility list there is a query for Gamespy 4. Just set those games to use that query.

Thanks for pointing that out. After setting UT3 Demo to the Gamespy 4 query type I got a lot of "game is not responding" alerts and my servers were being shut down. Anyone have any suggestions?

UT might be Doom 3 for the query. Try that instead.

No Luck with Doom 3 either.

 

The guys who make qstat claim that UT3Demo uses Gamespy 4 query protocol and have it working with qstat so I'm a bit surprised it is not working.

The only other thing you should make sure of is the query port is correct. I think GS4 uses 29990 as it's port.

I think the problem may be with UT3. I guess it doesn't have a consistent query port, but instead randomly assigns a port each time it starts up. Not really sure how the server could ever be queried in that case (i.e. for getting info in the in-game list). Let's hope Epic comes to their senses and makes a standard query port.

Seems they are going to make things difficult for us:
