Supports OpenArena too (version 1.28+)

http://www.bdamage.se/news.php

The open source project Game Scanner is a lightweight, non-bloated and low-memory footprint free software for easy browsing of your favorite or any supported internet game servers without starting the game itself.

With just an instant of an click and you're away to join the selected server. It also supports features such as RCON*, in-game minimizing* (for fast and easy switching between desktop and the game) and keeping track of your buddies to see which server they currently is playing on. Integrated mIRC status messaging when joing servers.

Since ASE that I didn't look for something like this. Great one. Downloading. :)

EDIT: Nice UI, but it has some bugs: don't show up players on OA, and don't search for servers in Q3.

The player bug has been fixed in v1.30. Mine auto-updated when i launched it but I had already edited the xml file so dont know if i screwed it up :(

maybe someone else can check it and if it works, if so ill try reinstalling.

1.30 works fine for me... seems less flexible than even the in-game browser though so think I'll be uninstalling it (was hoping to be able to atleast hide bot games).

i'll go reinstall it :D

I play q3 as well as modded versions so very handy for me \:D/

There is a humanplayers cvar the in-game browser uses so perhaps that could be filtered some way in the tool.
