Hi there.

I made a Perl script which uses FUSE and gslist to provide a list of Descent 3 servers
(and information about them) as a filesystem which you can mount at a directory
of your choice. Mostly just a nice toy to play around with, it does allow some "Unix
power" to be used on the server info, in case you ever want to do a little bit of
data mining on D3 servers.

Remember, to use this, you will also need FUSE, the Fuse module for Perl, and
gslist. Once these are installed, it should be very easy to set up. You may want
to have a look at the d3fs_notes file which contains some examples and
additional usage information.

Enjoy!

Whoo, great stuff.
I bet one can use it with MRTG http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/ to get some neat statistics

hmm I don't get qslist compiled.:
/usr/include/pthread.h:285: Fehler: In Konflikt stehende Typen für »pthread_t«
in english it would be conflicting types for »pthread_t«

Cool

I totally agree with Marix. Wow.

Gslist is used to retrieve the serverlist from Gamespy servers.
I don't know what's wrong with your pthread_t, it's defined here
on my system in /usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h as an unsigned
long int. As an alternative to gslist you could retrieve and parse
a list from http://d3.descent.cx/d3cxraw.d3, which is in fact what
Munk did for the d3fixd in-game tracker.

for me it looks the same as your definition:
/usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h
typedef unsigned long int pthread_t;

/usr/include/pthread.h:285
typedef struct pthread_st *pthread_t;


but it's not that important right now. No time anyway :/

Well: Besser spät als nie (better late than never (i guess))
