Client-sided Server Blacklist Mod

[Planr]

Basically I would like to see a mod that lets you automatically filter out specific servers from the master server list when searching for one to join. You could highlight a server and have there be a "Blacklist" button that you could click on the GUI to add it to a list of servers to remove from the list, based on the host's BL_ID. You could manage this blacklist in a separate window.

An additional addon for filtering out servers based on keywords in their titles would be really helpful too.

This would help a lot with finding decent servers. There are so many stuff-tier RP servers that it makes finding a good server much harder when they're flooding the page.

Master server only does names, if you want to use a stats website for BL_IDs, it'll be much slower before you even receive the full list in time because it has to query each of them to figure out of the host's name matches the BL_ID.

You can get the ID from the auth server if you have the player's name and IP. The server list provides these two things.

This is a php script. He's trying to make it all happen in-game.

If you want results, it's the same as my post is going to go as I have said before. Although, you can just query from the master server using the server's IP and the name. The main problem is still going to be a bit slower each way.

This is correct, however it's the only info I can find on the subject. I'm sure that would be simple for someone to convert it into a torquescript equivalent.

This is also correct.

This way seems to be a bit more complicated; not in a bad way it's just doing more work for a couple of small things.

This is also correct.

This way is much faster because you can just use a TCP, request the IP and the name, and then yay you got your results.


Either way is correct, but I wonder what part the OP really wants. Torquescript (easy) way or the php way?

That's for players. It won't help you with dedicated servers.

Right, totally forgot a dedicated server may have a different IP than the player authenticated with.
