Connecting to the Master Server

#1 Oh, and just in case any are wondering which code I found, its in Python. http://www.torquepowered.com/community/resources/view/14666

#2 You can also use the Masterserver from GG. Everything you need is in starter.fps.

#3 Is the starter.fps the TGE demo downloaded when purchased?

#4 Yes.

#5 I tested querying the master server on the demo and nothing came up on the list. Are you sure this master server works? Last I looked on the forums about this master server, people were questioning if it was still around.

#6 Yes, i am sure.
In starter.fps open starter.fps/client/ui/joinServerGui.gui.
Somewhere around line 298 you will find

function JoinServerGui::query(%this)
{

   queryMasterServer(
      0,          // Query flags
      $Client::GameTypeQuery,       // gameTypes
      $Client::MissionTypeQuery,    // missionType
      0,          // minPlayers
      100,        // maxPlayers
      0,          // maxBots
      2,          // regionMask
      0,          // maxPing
      100,        // minCPU
      0           // filterFlags
      );
}

The problem is here:

$Client::GameTypeQuery,       // gameTypes

The default value of $Client::GameTypeQuery is "FPS Starter Kit". Only games(servers) with this type of game are displayed. In this case 0.

Solution: Simply change $Client::GameTypeQuery to "any" or modify JoinServerGui::query(%this) directly.

function JoinServerGui::query(%this)
{
      queryMasterServer(
      0,          // Query flags
      "any",       // gameTypes
      "any",    // missionType
      0,          // minPlayers
      100,        // maxPlayers
      0,          // maxBots
      2,          // regionMask
      0,          // maxPing
      100,        // minCPU
      0           // filterFlags
      );
}

#7 All good works now. Thanks!
