If I were a UDP socket, and I wanted to do a status read of a Jedi Outcast server, to what port would I want to connect? My understanding is that once connected I need only send four hex-FF bytes followed by "getstatus" and an EOL character, but right now I just get "connection refused" all over the place. Any techies out there have any suggestions? _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

Now, if I were a UDP socket, I would be a special "Pie and Pron" socket and would be used STRICTLY for the transfer of, well, Pie (prefferably lemon merangue  ) and Pornography  Now that's a great time to be a UDP socket. _______________ "It's because I love you.

Okay, so I'm using this cool new DatagramSocket, but when I do the status read, what I get back is the "g_mDebugEmpower = ...blah blah blah" stuff, but no player list. Here's the meat of my class: inetAddress = (InetAddress) Inet4Address.getByName(address); socket = new DatagramSocket(); System.out.println("Connecting to " + address + " : " + port); socket.setSoTimeout(30000); socket.connect(inetAddress, port); String output = "xxxxgetstatus"; byte[] outbytes = output.getBytes(); outbytes[0] = (byte)255; outbytes[1] = (byte)255; outbytes[2] = (byte)255; outbytes[3] = (byte)255; outgoing.setData(outbytes); socket.send(outgoing); socket.receive(incoming); return new String(incoming.getData(),0,0,incoming.getLength()); _______________ My signature is only one line.

I think that's it DJ--I'm using a raw java Socket class to connect. I thought it defaulted to UDP, but apparently not. Socket has UDP capabilities, but looking over the documentation now I see that you have to use a funky constructor to make that work, and also that functionality has been deprecated and moved to something called a DatagramSocket. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks! _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

This may be me being a total newbie at network programming, but wouldn't connection refused imply a TCP connection? _______________ My car is made of Nerf. |

The return is supposed to be a list of players currently on. I'm writing in Java--which is its own platform, for all practical purposes--but it doesn't really matter what language the client is written in since the server can't tell anyway. What I'm getting is a simple "connection refused" on all ports. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

what is supposed to be returned in the status read? What language/platform is it supposed to be coded in? |
