@Megaoerti: The change with the bot count and the unknown value can't be correct :/

Protocol

Source seems to handle multiple packet replies differently. It also sends the 0xFFFFFFFE header followed by the request id. But then the next byte contains the total number of packets, the one after the current packet number. Also Source does not seem to start all "actual" replies with 0xFFFFFFFF (only contained the first packet).

Is this completely right or did I miss something? If it is it will have to be updated in the main page.

SteamAppID

Yes you're right, but i worry about the SteamAppID set as a 2 byte value 'F000'. This isn't zero?!

F0 is in decimal 240, which stands for CS: Source (see Steam Application IDs) --King2500 14:53, 15 Aug 2005 (PDT)

ok ... i forgot the sweet little endian of these two bytes *g* --MEGAOerti 13:17, 16 Aug 2005 (PDT)

SteamAppID Again

Either I'm being blind and stupid, or do Goldsource a2s_info replies not include an AppID... I think I should point out that I may be both blind and stupid, but I'm just not seeing it

You're right. GoldSrc server replies doesn't include an AppID. --King2500 17:32, 11 Jan 2007 (PST)== Counter-strike server reply format ==

I couldn't find anything about CS1.6 servers, AFAIK this is their reply format for A2S_INFO. There is more after this but I dont know what it is.
