DvT Tools version 6 (for UT3) is in progress

I started working on updating DvT Tools for use with UT3 last night. As of this morning, I have the hard part done: ServerQuery can request info from a UT3 server and get a reply back that provides the requested info.

Now comes the really hard part: figuring out how I want ServerQuery to format/display that info for you to read.

However, the hardest part is figuring out how to convice Epic to tell Gamespy to take their Query Protocol and shove it up their llama a$$es. Unlike the previous (proprietary) Epic protocol, the Gamespy protocol does not give any player information...who is on the server, what their scores are, what their pings are...none of this. If you've been wondering, this is why the player info is not shown in the in-game server browser.

Also, right now, it is not entirely clear what happens when custom maps are downloaded from a server or when you obtain a new map in a zip file. Thus, the new CacheManager and MapManager will come a little later. These should be relatively simple to port over though.
