How do you read the Player Flags and Game Flags from querying a server?

[taterSALAD]

[player_flags] => 1573916676,1090
[game_flags] => 8235

I get these, and they change from gametype to gametype, and I'd like to know how to parse/read them.
Does anybody know how to?

Halo CE and Halo PC servers.

Check out the source from a Querytool: http://nikon.bungie.org/news.html?item=7667 (the release the package link).

[taterSALAD]

Thanks for that! I checked the source out, but I didn't find anything in it that parsed the data received. It gets the variable, but doesn't do anything with it.

[taterSALAD]

Does anybody know how to do it?

[Vicky]

The data is parsed to the si struct in the ParseInfo function, that data is printed by the PrintBody function. I wouldn't bother that much how the data is parsed, that's a bunch of pointer operations...

What are you programming in btw?

[taterSALAD]

PHP. I'm pulling the data from the server, and spitting out the relevant data.

[Vicky]

Can't be that hard, i've seen sites do that already.

[taterSALAD]

I'm pulling the data, and I get it, but I do not know how to parse the two variables I mentioned in the first post.

I get Players, Map name, etc, but I don't know the meaning of game_flags or player_flags

[Vicky]

Ah yes... that's pretty specific and i have no idea, perhaps Korn can help you out.. if he wants to share that info when available... What more would you need anyway from all the data you're getting already?

[taterSALAD]

Here's the page I got so far.

What I'm trying to get it more information, such as flag captures to win, etc..

[Vicky]

Nice job.

[taterSALAD]

I'm surprised that nobody else has replied to this. Does anybody even know how to do this? Lol

I'd really appreciate the help, and will receive a thanks Easter Egg in HTML XD

The gameflags are definitely in memory. Perhaps you are looking at the wrong address?

[Vicky]

Maybe nobody ever looked into the queried player/game-flag data, stuff like vehicle respawn time should be there of course. Maybe PM Korn to get his attention... or try to find out yourself..

I'm not memory hacking here, I'm simply querying the server. Let me show you the results.

I am trying to figure out what

[player_flags] => 1499840516,1090
[game_flags] => 26 means, and how to parse it.

[Vicky]

Ask the Korn! If he don't know nobody does :)

[taterSALAD]

I've done exactly that, but he doesn't really know. He did mention that it was documented at one time, or so he thought. I'm beginning to feel like this is going to be a fruitless effort.

[Vicky]

I figured you would have done a search already... i just searched for 'halo gameflags' and got this:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LINK/Net-Halo-Status-0.02/lib/Net/Halo/Status.pm

There's a part for game and player flags, with the appropriate shifting and ANDing of the data... hope that helps.

[taterSALAD]

I spent forever searching for it, and you find it in a matter of seconds? ... Epic fail on my part. I really appreciate it! Now, to seek help elsewhere as I'm unfamiliar with Python scriping...

[Vicky]

If you can write in php/C i think you should be able to make sense of it...

[taterSALAD]

The syntax is very similar, yes, however I don't quite understand what it's doing. I'm not an expert by PHP, by a long shot, I'm actually only an "intermediate beginner" so I don't understand some of the more complex stuff, yet.

:shake:

I suggest you take an interest into the code called sub decode_player_flags

.. I saw that, did you not read the posts in between those?

Not trying to dis-respect by any means.

<< and >> is a bitshift operation, >>2 e.g. is shift right 2 bits, and & is a logical AND operation, & if >ou underst& th@ >ou'll b on ur w4>...

[taterSALAD]

Thank you. I've gotten close but can't think of a decent method to implement. I really appreciate the help Vicky!
