What's that?

HLMaster is a fully automatic master server for Half-Life based gameservers.

A master server receives hearbeats (pings) from accordingly configured gameservers, end thus, has an allways up-to-date list of servers. Users can access this list with tools like gamespy, QStat, bQuery, KQuery, ...

HLMaster is not yet another query tool! It's a server/daemon without any fancy graphical user interface.
