Auto-connect

I've been contemplating this for a while, but it's stumped me how to do it.
I'm hoping to have/make a script allowing you to simply put in a console command and an ip or address and it checks every second or so and asks the server the maxplayers and the players in then, if the players in are less than maxplayers then connect, otherwise wait. But i dont know how to make console commands or run scripts from the main menu, heck i dont know how to send a paket to the server asking Maxplayers/players
Any help or is this a fools errand?

hmmm. I dont think you can get a return status from console outside the server without rcon password.
you would only be able to attemp connection.
you might want to check with the fpsadmin forums.

im farily confused. not with .scr mohaa scripting.
but you could probably do it , well could do it with a 3rd part program

Yes with a 3rd prog yes, but since i'm not up on sending packets with any language and i dont trust my compiler i was hoping to do it with this.
So how would i run a script that checks if i'm connected or connecting and reconnects if i'm not? also how would i run a script when not in a map?
Code: Select all
reconnecter:
while(isConnected != 1)
{
connect xxx.xxx.xxx : xxxx
wait 1
}
end

I've already pointed a solution to you.
Qstat + a simple perl script or a little program and you've got a working solution.

Tried Qstat rook, it didnt work. i tried three servers with MOH setting and it failed to read them.
Yes you told me how and i looked up at least three different things i had to do, but apparently the #import wont work and a couple other preprocessor things. i need a diff compiler is all.

Try qstat -gps SERVER_IP:PORT . Works for me.
What I meant was like:
Code: Select all
SYSTEM("qstat -gps " + serverip + ":" + serverport);
or something. Then parse the program's output.

Did. Made a new shortcut and called it from cmdprompt and used this line:
<path> -gps 69.93.129.87:12203
<path> -gps mohpub.violentricity.net
<cmdlinepath> -gps 69.93.129.87:12203
<cmdlinepath> -gps mohpub.violentricity.net
Neither worked, as i recall it waited and tried bit, then gave me an error like
"server not responding"
or somesuch.

Read the docs. I know it works, I've been experimenting with it a while ago.
