Custom Query Protocol

You can set a custom script that queries the game server. This is useful if you want to add query support for games that don't have a supported query protocol.

• Create a custom script. Set the script's event to Custom query. You can have more than one custom query script with different operating systems.
• Set the game's query protocol to custom script.
