Packet information for masterlist?

[EK.IceFlake]

Hi guys! I wanted to make my masterlist for vcmp, what are the packet information that I have to send/recieve? I will of course check out the announce plugin source, but that probably wont tell me much. Thanks for help.

Masterlist as in, the url you can put in your browser?

Capture the packet by yourself and analysis it!

That's JSON. And yes, that's supposed to be a string. I might be wrong tho, so please correct me if I am.

You're using VB.Net? For what?

[EK.IceFlake]

You're using VB.Net? For what?

For handling the masterlist packets.

I don't think VB.Net would be ideal for handling JSON objects/string. JSON was created to work alongside Javascript. As a matter of fact, it is Javascript. You would have to create your own parser or find some JSON parser for VB.Net

Also, are you by any chance using Visual Basic to create an alternative for the VC-MP 0.4 Browser? If not, then why in the world do you need the data from the masterlist to be used with VB.Net?

You're using VB.Net? For what?

For handling the masterlist packets.

You're making a masterlist server in Visual Basic? Or is this a browser? Either way, why?

I am making a masterlist server to can on it when official masterlist is down etc. Maybe also release the masterlist

LMFAO. I'm very confident when I say that yours will probably have more downtime then the official one. Mainly because you plan on hosting it on your PC since you obviously have no idea about Linux or servers in general. Or maybe you have Windows server. Who knows. But I highly doubt it.

I dont care about it. I just want to know how to make my masterlist server.

[Fuzzie]

If you are trying to achieve what VRocker did with the alternative VC-MP Server Browser than it's not that simple as it sounds. Actually it is from my perspective but I doubt you actually have the know how to do things like caching the masterlist every now and then, pinging the server to see if a response is received etc.

It's json data.
