External Server Browser

[mabako]

Just something small that lets you use the Game-Monitor.com server list without actually using Game-Monitor. It's pretty much self-explanatory, always ordered by max. players and can be searched by Name, IP, Map, Game Type and Players.

The Windows version lets you connect to servers by just clicking the Server in the List, then clicking Connect.

Windows

includes Connect button, gtk+ and curl.

Windows

includes Connect button and curl. needs gtk+ - if you have no clue what that is, download the file including gtk+

Linux

needs gtk+ and curl.

Basically for people like me who're too lazy to go in-game and want to see the server stuff without opening Game-Monitor's site. It's actually useless for most of you but pssh...

Nice work mabako, shall recommend.

Bet it sucks. Not necessarily your fault, but since it still does use Game-monitor, sucking would be kinda hard to avoid...

I liked it, but it crashes my router.

As soon as I open it up and press the "Refresh" button, it loads and then it disconnects me from the router, leaving me unable to reconnect and having to restart it.

I don't know how this little program works but some routers have problems handling large amounts of concurent connections. It is also noticable when using torrents for example. It is possible that that is the problem here.

The tab ordering doesn't work, and there's no player search list. But I think you probably knew about this. I like the GTK interface though, but it's a resource hog.

also it seems to dont have all servers on list, just the ones since you done posted this app.

my new server ip for example dont apear even thought i refresh it many times

Game-Monitor takes around 5 hours to register your server. If you host your server yourself and have a dynamic IP then each time you launch your server you must wait till Game-Monitor registers it.

Hmm Nice work! Good to use if you were trying to look at MTA Servers while you don't use MTA SA, A bit like SA-MP's Server Browser.

@mabako: Ohh, you still helping to develop the MTA SA?

I helped you a bit by remaking the mabako-services, you remember?

My server have a static ip, im not that stupid and if it takes 5 hours to refresh what about my server wich is online for 3 monhts already? this clearly is not retrivieng correct values from Game Monitor, even the player count seems to dont match for with the one on game monitor or even on server browser, also some server names on the list are listed with X name on on reality they have other. Kinda weird.

I've updated it a bit here and there so if you have had problems with your router and this before, it should be (hopefully) fixed, I've updated the links in the first post.

adamix ported it to Qt, but you better ask him as I do not have a download link for that.

The file says it's v1.5 but the applications says it's v1.4.

Nice work anyway!

Also, when I close the application I get an unhandled win32 exception in mta-browser.exe (VS JIT).

[mabako]

Might want to try if the exception still happens with http://github.com/downloads/mabako/mta- ... er-1.6.zip - I never got those so I can't really reproduce it.

[Scarface]

The unhandled win32 exception is fixed in v1.6.

How about adding a Ping tab to the server list?
