Hi,
MatMan Says you are the colder in this clan, I wanted to know if you have caught any flak from GameSpy over the stats. The reason I ask is I am in the clan Arena42. We are not a big clan, manly some friends who play UT3 together. Anyways we all love the game, but are not exactly happy with everything about it. I am a developer. I have written a tool which we have been using for quite some time. The application lets us pull server info and player stats and a lot more. I would like to release the tool to the public. But I am not sure how it will be received. 

This is what the application does:
[list:ec16cf424c]
UT3 Global Stats much like your stats.
UT3 Server List (like the in game server query)
[list:ec16cf424c]Active Servers
    Names of active Players
    Launch and Join.
[/list:u:ec16cf424c]Screen Shot Viewer / Converter &amp; Resize
Cache Rename / Moving Tool
UT3 exec Script creator
Map / Game Type configuration
Map information
Game Launcher
UT3 Related Links.
[/list:u:ec16cf424c]
There are a few other items that I don’t think are going to make the public release.  Such as the tool that prevents windows from opening on top of the game.  I am fixing a few final things in the application and doing some cosmetic changes.  I also have to do some testing with steam versions of the game, which for the most part I have not messed with.
I have elected already to have the application query a site for the master server list instead of incorporating a master server lookup in the application to keep gamespy from becoming upset.

We also have an Admin Version of the toolkit which includes a Service to run a dedicated server, Linux and Windows Configuration builder, Map compression automation a few other things. But look at how this community has been I am not sure I will get a RC before there are not enough people playing to matter.

From my digging, it looks to me like the steam achievement information is available only in the users profile information,  have you looked into this at all?


Do you have any thoughts?
