List of Battlefield 1942 Servers

[fo0k]

So if it all packs up again on the server list.. (Still not fixed as I write this) perhaps start adding all and any regular/popular Servers here. Should drag in a few people who are lost!

Just post as follows (Will also use Jeronimo's URL launch)

To launch the game via the links below please view this simple topic
To start here are a few Interstate Servers that I know - Please add your server in a reply and one of the Moderators will add it to this list!

BF1942 Vanilla (Standard Game)

Interstate Mod

IS82.COM -
BFMODS.COM -
MOONGAMERS INTERSTATE 82 -

Heh, a 'few more' to the list.

Now we need to pull player numbers/names..

Rich over at greycube.com created the lgsl which will integrate into e107 but not phpbb yet although there is a standalone version. Maybe it's not too hard to integrate this into a custom page here.

I take it that gametracker pulls this info from gamespy the same way that bf does or is GT submitted servers only?

[Jeronimo]

Submitted only, unfortunately. Otherwise they'd probably be down now, too. ^^

When gamespy is back online, there's a port you can connect to via TCP on master.gamespy.com, hand out a special token, query the desired data and voila, you'll have the complete list of BF42 servers registered against Gamespy. I did once sniff the network traffic of the game when updating the server list, but found that the list of IPs and Ports is encrypted. Now I didn't go deeper into that, maybe it's still no prob to decrypt, but it's at least not as easy as querying a single server for his "\info\" or "\players\" via UDP on port 23000.

If you'd like to put up-to-date information on players, maps, mods etc. of all the game servers on the site, generated serverside with html output, you'd have to consider that your webserver will have to query all this information periodically. You'd need some kind of task scheduling / cron job for that and I'm afraid, that's not possible, is it?

I thought about writing an actionscript in flash that provides such functionality. Something similar to , but web based. AFAIK flash supports sockets, so the browser of the visitor could connect to the game servers itself. Your webserver would only have to do provide a serverlist to query, which can be a static file (html, txt, csv...), updated manually from time to time from gamespy, or, even better, with only the servers of modders and clans represented in this forum. Just a thought, but I don't have a clue of AS to implement it...

Oh no! Is gamesy dropping support for Battlefield 1942?!

Here's what I ran into today.

[Jeronimo]

There are problems with many other games as well, even outside the BF series. I'd not say that this is a sign that they dropped support for BF42

I wonder... isn't gamespy also responsible for the keyhashes, to register who plays where to make sure no cd key is used twice? If that was the case, shouldnt it be possible now to use the same key on different machines and play at the same time, or even with an invalid key?
edit: No, doesn't work. Must be another server somewhere else. Well ^^
