Decoding output from the UDP Port

Decoding output from the UDP Port

I realize there is a program out there called FLPing that will display your server information and usercounts.. I am working on something similar, except in PHP. So far, I am able to get the server information, however, it looks like the first 76 bytes of the Data piece of the return packet are encoded. It doesn't look like it's a dynamic type algorithm as it never changes. I'm having trouble decoding these 76 bytes.

I think the user counts are stored in this 76 byte section..

Anyone know what the encoding scheme is?

If anyone has a working prototype that they'd like me to test, I'd be happy too... I've been looking for some server status or admin tools to use on my server, but haven't the knowhow to do the code myself

Ok. Thanks for the flping source, I was able to create the same thing in PHP, except it reports back information in Real Time, and is PHP Based.

To take a look, head over to http://jk2.gamersimpact.com

I don't want to release it in it's current state, until I supply some pretty graphics for it, because as you will see, right now it's quite dull. If anyone wants to volunteer some freelancer'ish graphics, let me know.
