Hello, I would like to ask, How you made your own masterserver for HL1/HL2 ? Is it your own coded ? Are there any manuals how to make my own ?

The masterserver at Setti is custom made. There are ready-made other masteservers in the 'net. For example http://hlmaster.sourceforge.net/ this is for HL1.

The masterserver protocol is quite simple. There is protocol definition at http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... y_Protocol . Programmers with general coding knowledge can create their own masterserver with the information on the webpage.

Note that you don't actually need your own masterserver for anything. Masterserver is just program that sends list of servers to a player. At Setti there is also separate server scanner similar to http://www.gametracker.com/. In addition to monitoring the servers, Setti server scanner also verifies whether the servers have been patched.
