GSQuery is a Firefox add-on that allows users to view the current status of gameservers. The software provides real-time updates and enables gamers to stay updated on the availability of their preferred servers.
GSQuery works by requesting server information from a dedicated server since XPCOM does not have support for UDP sockets. But what features can you expect from GSQuery once it's up and running? Here are a few key ones:
- Update Interval: You can set the number of minutes that the extension should wait before it reaches out for updated information from the server. It's worth noting that it cannot go below a minute.
- Label Format: This feature controls how the information is displayed in the status bar. And if you're not sure what variables to use, you can check the web-based query form for a list of variables available for your server.
- Protocol: You can select the protocol that the extension will use to reach out to the server from a list of available choices.
- Hostname: Simply provide the hostname or IP of the server you'd like to check.
- Query Port: Finally, you need to enter the query port of the server to be able to receive information.
To make use of GSQuery, you'll need Firefox 1.5 - 3.0. In conclusion, if you want to stay up to date with the status of the gameservers you're interested in, GSQuery has got you covered. And investing in it by giving feedback on the features you find useful will benefit both you, the developer, and the gaming community.
