Infiltration Server Radar - beta released

[n1]Gowron · Mar 30, 2004

Tonight, we release the first public beta of Infiltration Server Radar, an INFSpy-like program for browsing the active INF 2.9 servers. In addition to the usual functions, ISR features a small radar display showing you at a glance which servers are populated and how far away they are from you - in terms of ping.

If I got you interested, give it a try (homepage and download (670kB)). Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Wow, sounds like fun! Thanks! (Hope its not spyware.)

Serial_[FOOL] · Mar 30, 2004

there is no spyware in the program.

erehwoN · Mar 30, 2004

Very nice. This is greatly appreciated since I for some reason can't install INFSpy. Good work guys.

Sweet, very sweet :tup:

The only comment I would make is that on a high res screen it can be a bit tricky to make out the dots and/or click on them -- maybe you could make the dots or the radar bigger (or have an option to do that)?

Not a moment too soon lol, my INFSpy only shows half of the servers often with inacurrate results.....

No need to worry. There is no information transmitted away from your machine. Upon start there are two requests made to our web server, one checking for new version (there will be no autodownload or such stuff, only a decent notice added to the screen than an update is available) second you may have noted that the mutators in the list are abbreviated. The list of abbrevation is updated so that new mutators can be taken into account. You can easily check that with any network sniffer listening for connections to 213.239.200.38, if you are really worried.

an addition we have to do:
if you want sth. to have added to the nest (0.5b) Version would be fine if you post it in here. Currently we got some feedback about "resizable window" that is part of the 0.5b roadmap. Also the "Fav. Servers" group was questioned.

So if you have any suggestions, would be fine if you can post it here or in the Infiltrationmod-Forum at http://forum.infiltrationmod.de (in english too

)

Very nice indeed. Thanks Gowron & Serial!

Great job this rox! My INFspy hasn't been working properly, thanks for an even better replacement. I love the abbreviated mutator list for each server and the cool radar thingy.

One thing: INFSpy used to put a maps name in red if you didn't have the map the server was running. Could you add that feature?

[n1]Gowron · Apr 1, 2004

already on the todo list. if you dont have a map then you will be offered a d/l link to the respective map's details webpage on combatmaps.de

Fat Marrow · Apr 19, 2004

I'm consistently having a problem whereby, over time, populated servers 'drop off' the radar entirely (maybe because they don't respond to queries because they're too stressed by the player load?).

Is this a known problem, and is there a fix possible for this?

Otherwise great work; I look forward to the next release.

ok i dont get the radar at the top, its like a radar of servers?? whats it for im confuzzled!

lol but man, i love you, inf spy will still not install, now i have a cool looking, working alternative.

FM this happens becasue the sever pings higher than what the radar displays, think its 250, u can change it in the configuration, its the one listied as ping limit

Ah, ok. But it would be nice if servers which were only briefing pinging high (on a map change, for example) could return to the radar afterwards (they don't seem to).

[n1]Gowron · Apr 21, 2004

A server is only hidden from the radar due to high ping when the appropriate filter is active.

However, packet loss can lead to a server being kicked from the list of active servers. It should come back shortly afterwards, but occasionally there seems to be a problem. It is known and I will address it once I have time to continue working on the next version
