i helped jesse add a new feature to his gaming web site tonight - live game stats from UT2004.
the basic code file came from a german guy named Rüpel. he wrote it some time ago (and it seems a bit of overkill) but it works just fine and saved us a bunch of time slogging through the outdated docs and plunking out a UDP client.
i was able to wrap the basic code in a routine to produce simple XML data on the fly. he uses oleg's eXml control for asp.net - really great way to quickly integrate XML/XSLT into asp.net pages. so i was able to write a quick XSLT for the data and - bingo! - live ut server data on a web page.
