I've heard many a time that the query packet to send to servers is documented somewhere. The problem is, I've looked everywhere (well, not everywhere, but a lot of places) and can't find it.

So does anyone know where I could find this documentation? I've already gotten some stuff figured out, but I figured I might as well save myself some time.

This is for two projects, one being D3launch, the other being something really cool (more cool if the query packet has what I want in it.)

Thanks in advance,

I would also appreciate having access to this info! Thanks!

I'm compiling the information into a nicely readable format and will post it here soon.

this is the header I used back in the day when I was coding D3IP (to hold IP addresses of servers)
