The other way of doing it is to find a way to distribute the ServerList.dat file that is stored Settings\Profile in Battlefield folder. Luigi Auriemma has done a lot of RE already in regards to Gamespy, however it looks like the initial protocol for Battlefield 1942 is a little bit different. Initially packet sniffing suggest a relatively simple protocol to fetch the list, however if people are gone be able to publish their servers on to the list its a bit more work (more protocol features to create, and database). Alternative is that the users have to add an entry to their hosts file to point the DNS for this server to a different IP (messy). This would involve either patching the bf1942.exe (basically write a new url in there, this would be what EA games would have to do if they are gone fix it). ![]() I have had a quick look under the hood, and looks like 2 ways that it could be done.īasically replicate the protocol that BF1942 uses to talk to, and setup a server on the net to do it.
