Camron, can you elaborate on why you want such a feature? I'm wary of adding "stalking" features like a player search. Anyone familiar with the bf3 scene probably knows about the fiasco that is battlelog privacy / bf3stalker.com etc. However I do want to add Steam Friends support, so you'll always be able to find out which servers your friends are on.
Yes, I plan to open source the code once I'm done with the project (completed to my satisfaction or abandoned), probably on github under the GPL.
This tool is really nice, good job! One thing though: i doesnt seem to show every server, i disabled all filters and some servers are missing like the all-in servers.

This is awesome. Looks like it works a hell of a lot better than the in-game server browser. I'll try it out when I get home. Does it work for Americans?
I get a lot of use out of this tool, and i know a few others that do!
Any chance of an update? Ive noticed i only get around 80-90 servers, and most of them are from my region. Its not a big problem, but it would be nice to see the intercontinental servers too for an occasional HPB game.
The in-game server browser finds 703 servers, while this tool only finds 231 servers. Is it because the tool only queries for servers in my region? I'm not seeing most of the servers I play on in this tool.

I also can only find 231 servers. A buddy of mine also only did find 231 servers, we both had server the other one did not have.
<b>Bug</b>: in History, i can't add the server to the Favorites. Nothing happens...
<b>Feature requests</b>: 1. When the game is already running, i can't connect to the server with your app :( steam message: "Failed to start game (app already running)"
as of the latest build (245 or 246) when you launch a server directly with this, it crashes steam. it may have been a steam update rather than ns2 update that's caused this, though

Awesome program, thanks!
Since I'm often playing with 3-4 friends, the "number of free slots free" feature is awesome.
Edit: It's working again.
Keep it up mate!

fantastic job, congratulation

1. When the game is already running, i can't connect to the server with your app :(
steam message: "Failed to start game (app already running)"
2. History clear button
3. Mod downloader
i would like to have this thing fully working
I'm also getting only 231 servers found.
This app, while it was great while it worked, is ancient. And as the CDT is working to repair the steam master browser, there's no longer need of it.
