I'm using the reHLDS engine for my server, and Gametracker is not able to determine, if the server is up or not. Can we please get his resolved.

You are very welcome!

If you still require assistance, please provide the game, ip, port, and query port. Yes, unfortunately you actually have to provide information.

It is a Counter Strike 1.6 server and has been in your database for almost a year. Below is the IP provided. The query port should be the same as server port.

216.52.143.147:27015

Your server is not using the proper query protocol for the game. GameTracker is not willing to make adjustments for these types of things unless a significant number of servers are affected.

What adjustments would be required by gametracker to fix this issue?

Adjustments = Make code changes to support alternative query protocols or variants of standard query protocols for games. It is not a bug on GameTracker's part, but rather on the game server (or it may be intentional on the creator's part, I don't know).

The last update for the engine was eight days ago, you can find the commits for the engine here: https://github.com/dreamstalker/rehlds/commits/master

There appears to be no updates to the protocol used by reHLDS, so it's confusing what the issue is here.

I recommend that you submit an issue to the developers here: https://github.com/dreamstalker/rehlds/issues

The most of rehlds servers are using only modern (source) server info answer type. It sends this answer for A2S_INFO requests. The problem is on gametracker side. This may be one of these:
1) Sending "details" instead of A2S_INFO
2) Old type (goldsrc) parser for modern type (source) request

If it sends back a custom query but the engine is compatible with Source-based games as standard (so, without mods), I'd say that's a bug with reHLDS. If so, it needs to be submitted to the bugtracker that I linked in my previous post.

If it really does return a standard query (I'd test this myself, but don't have the time), then something is obviously wrong on GameTracker's side and needs to be dealt with.

asm0dai is one of the contributors to the reHLDS project. If he read this then there is no need to report bug tracker, as developers are already aware of the issue.
