How can i ignore bots at the numplayers value? I see no option for it.

Hi, the problems is many games just don't have any option for it and can't be queried for bots, at all. Other games just tell how many bot they have (but do no tell who is a bot or not), and when they do, no one do it the same way than others. Then some games tell for each player slot the team membership and if it's a bot or not, and when they do, no one do it the same way than others. In fact, in many case, qstat can't list bots (or ignore bots) just because games servers don't have options for it. Yes it's a shame, it's why some software just do it the hacky way: if player have ping 0, it's a bot.

What kind of game you want to list?

Hello. I want to use it for quake 3 arena. The idea with this hacky way, i had too. But its hard for me to code something like that with a shellscript. Maybe you have something for me?
