Elementaler ahaa, thank you for the info, now i am wiser, I just did not understand that the port 10057 is just for listservers. So there is no way that a php script could listen to ports 10053-59 directly?
I mean, in fact i do not care where are the info from, if they are from the game or from listserver, but my logic said, it would be easier directly from the game and if the listserver is down, status is still working independent from other servers, hope u understand
it is kind of strange thing though, that jj2 needs a fake player to retrieve the list of players, is it possible using php?
