BF2 Browser Protocol?

[ShakyCamProductions]

I'm writing a server browser for BF2, and I was wondering if anyone knew the details of the browser's query protocol or if it was published somewhere. I've looked everwhere, but to no avail.

I'm sure you could develop something better then EAs pile of sh!t in like 10 minutes. GO!

Hehe... I've got it all fleshed out... the only thing left to do is actually query the master server(s)... as soon as I understand the protocol, it's ready to go.

It also has friends management, extended filters, stats display for any selected player, etc. I'm going to add clan management to the mix, but not in the first release.

Maybe talked to the guy doing this one.

Does the built in browser even support favorites?

 

[ShakyCamProductions]

Nope

Anyone

Yeah the standard browser is a pile of crap. I can't belive they can fix that thing... I praise anyone who can make a better one. I don't own the game yet due to them not having actual working wide screen resolutions but I did play the demo.. and I can't believe they have fixed it yet...

The big problem is any browser outside the game has to launch Bf2 before actually connecting to the server you chose so 10 minutes later by the time bf2 finished launching that server is probably full. Then you have to close bf2 and start all over.
