With the exception of Steam (which presumably you already have), in 99% of cases,
the other utilities should ship out of the box with mainstream distributions. They are provided here merely as a reference.
If any dependencies are missing when the application starts, it will warn you, so you need not take any preemptive measures here.

== Menu options
==== Launch server list
==== Server browser
The server browser retrieves and lists all publicly broadcasting servers (including official ones) in a table.
These servers can be filtered by various parameters in order to display a more granular result.
After a server is selected from the list, the application continues to the mod validation step.
In order to use this feature, you must have a https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey[Steam API key]. You will be asked for a unique URL for your app when registering.
Since this key is for a personal use application and does not actually call back anywhere, set a generic local identifier here like "127.0.0.1".
You will be prompted to insert this key into the app when launching the server browser for the first time.
[NOTE]
It is not currently possible to save servers from the full server browser.
===== Filters
[%autowidth]
The server browser exposes the following filters. These options can be combined.
Untick filters to exclude those matches from the returned results. The "All maps" and "Keyword search" filters have special behavior (see below).
You must have a minimum of one filter active to return any results.
|===
|Filter|Usage
|All maps|Return all available map types being served.
Note: disabling this option will present a list from which you can select one specific map type (e.g., namalsk)
|Daytime|Include servers with gametime between 0600 and 1659
|Nighttime|Include servers with gametime between 1700 and 0559
|Empty|Include servers with 0 current players
|Full|Include servers at maximum capacity
|Low population|Include servers with fewer than 10 players online
|Non-ASCII titles|Include servers with special symbols, Unicode, or text in the title.
Note: disabling this filter will also exclude CJK languages, Cyrillic, and other special character sets.
|Keyword|Select this option to filter by server titles matching a specific word or phrase (case insensitive)
|===
===== Table details
After retrieval, the browser presents a table of results with the following parameters.
Due to the density of information, the table will try to render at a minimum of 1920x1080 on a desktop or at fullscreen on a Steam Deck.
- Total matches/total servers queried
- Total players online on all servers
- Map name
- Server title
- Gametime: the in-game time
- Players: this is zero-padded for sorting purposes
- Max players: this is zero-padded for sorting purposes
- Distance: the physical distance to the server in kilometers is calculated by geolocation
- IP: the IP address and port
- Qport: the query port used to retrieve metadata and rules
