what would i gain by putting in more then just the one master server that i have right now?

you would see the servers that are not on the other master server

master2.urbanterror.net is pingable, and it is running.  I'm not sure where your problem is, but I checked and it is working...

courgette's post still stands

1. the uaaportal.com master does not work
2. people should understand ping/traceroute does not equal a q3 master query


If anyone could find concise qtracker/gametracker/uaa master server details that would rock...

otherwise it seems we are still limited to the 2 working servers:

master.urbanterror.net : OK
master3.idsoftware.com : OK (aka monster.idsoftware.com)

---bottom line----
I wouldn't mind running a UAA master server, i think its a good idea I'll research it tomorrow.  Whats annoying me right now is bloody qtracker has servers listed that are not showing up on the master server o_O  AND I AM NOT manually maintaining that list lol...

sidenote, i have a bot on quakenet called PonyBot, if u wanna search for a player/tag give it a whirl:
IE:

/msg ponybot !find player

There's also master2.urbanterror.net, which I run.  I'm currently working on a new version of my software to allow XML exports over HTTP.  I can also query another master server and import the additional servers with FLAG_REMOTE (expects no heartbeats, does getInfo ever minute instead).

Manually managing the list is a pain.  I had thought about it, but quickly dismissed the idea because I don't hate myself that much.  If you're interested in using my software once I complete the next version, we can talk about linking the two so we get a more complete list.

catch me on #[us] quakenet irc sometime please

I can script the whole thing and hate myself enough to do it xD

Only issue still is I'm not getting a big enough picture of servers still, I'm finding it v annoying that windows crud like qtracker has servers listed that I cannot find on any of the master servers :/

I run a irc bot for fun, one of the things it does (quakestat rocks) is collect details on all servers listed by the master servers, allowing ppl to search for players or see server info. I got no bandwidth/CPU limitations worth mentioning but would kill to run something better than we currently have.

is master2.urt a clone of master.urt? it seems to have about 100 fewer servers listed for some reason

[6th|illogical]

master2.urbanterror.net is not a clone.  The discrepancy is caused by some people having server configurations that remove master2.urbanterror.net as a master.  Also, master2.urbanterror.net can now return a XML list of all the servers and players it knows.  It's about 580KB, but I've got it gzipping so it's down around 58KB.  If you want to fetch it, you can find it at http://master2.urbanterror.net/feed/.

using mod_gz or similar?

have u maybe got a direct link to it and how frequent are the updates?

the feed is providing more servers than a "quakestat -q3m master2.urbanterror.net"  query right now...

IE:
92.243.2.180:27960    ~|Zhen-Server|~ UPTOWN ONLY  ~ 24/7

on the feed but unavailable on any master servers I can find

I'm not seeing any discrepancy between what is returned via UDP and the XML feed.  Compression is done via PHP's ob_gzhandler().  The master updates each server every 60 seconds right now.  The feed is cached for 15 seconds at Apache.  All of the times are easy to tune.

A direct link is not available since the master server listens on localhost only for HTTP.

am i doing it wrong ?

Your XML stuff certainly lists this server:


urt@srv1 ~ $ wget -O - http://master2.urbanterror.net/feed/ 2> /dev/null | grep 92.243.2.180
   <address>[::ffff:92.243.2.180]:27960</address>


but a master query does not return this server in the list :


urt@srv1 ~ $ quakestat -q3m master2.urbanterror.net 2>/dev/null | grep 92.243.2.180
urt@srv1 ~ $
