[Tutorial PSP] - Proper PSP Server Browser

[Team Xlink]

Hello.

As you may know I made a server list tutorial, but it wasn't even close to proper and wasn't very good.
This one is better.

Features:

Server Name
Number of Players Playing
Max number of Players
Map name

Why should you use this instead of the one from my other tutorial?

Simpler
All changes are done in net_dgrm.c
No new files
No messing with menu code
More features

Step 1.
Open up net_dgrm.c

Find this:

Code: Select all

static void _Datagram_SearchForHosts (qboolean xmit)

In that function after this:

Code: Select all

   struct qsockaddr myaddr;

Add this:

Code: Select all

   struct qsockaddr writeAddr;
   FILE *netserversHandle=0;
   char string[100];
   char *newline;


Step 2.

Scroll down to this:

Code: Select all

   dfunc.GetSocketAddr (dfunc.controlSock, &myaddr);
   if (xmit)
   {
      SZ_Clear(&net_message);
      // save space for the header, filled in later
      MSG_WriteLong(&net_message, 0);
      MSG_WriteByte(&net_message, CCREQ_SERVER_INFO);
      MSG_WriteString(&net_message, "QUAKE");
      MSG_WriteByte(&net_message, NET_PROTOCOL_VERSION);
      *((int *)net_message.data) = BigLong(NETFLAG_CTL | (net_message.cursize & NETFLAG_LENGTH_MASK));
      dfunc.Broadcast(dfunc.controlSock, net_message.data, net_message.cursize);


After that add this:

Code: Select all

      if(tcpipAvailable)
      {
         netserversHandle = fopen(va("%s/netservers.cfg",com_gamedir), "r");
         if(netserversHandle > 0)
         {
            while(fgets (string, 100, netserversHandle) > 0)
            {
               newline = strrchr(string, '\n');
               if(newline)
                  *newline = '\0';

               newline = strrchr(string, '\r');
               if(newline)
                  *newline = '\0';

               dfunc.GetAddrFromName(string, &writeAddr);
               dfunc.Write(dfunc.controlSock,
                        net_message.data,
                        net_message.cursize,
                        &writeAddr);
               sceDisplayWaitVblankStart();
            }
         }
         fclose(netserversHandle);
      }


Now your done!

That was easy now wasn't it?

How do I use it?

Create a file called netservers.cfg

In it put the server address.

Put that file in your Quake/id1 folder

That is it!

Now after reading this and even after looking at the code you may say this still isn't a proper server browser, that is true but to me it is proper enough to be considered proper.
