[bf1942] BF2 server query issues / bugs

[Steven Hartland]

Thanks for checking this some more feedback on you comments:

Both ping and team are very important information to players when
they look at reports generated by server queries. As such both ping
and team name, all be it corrected e.g. allied, axis as bf1942 currently
does, need to be there.

I had a talk with the local gamespy-programmer.

This is what the local gamespy-programmer told-me.

1. 
He didn't know what this was, there might very well be a bug in there
somewhere. He would look into it.

2.
The ping-entry entry has been removed recently.

3.
He would look into this, it's most likely a bug.

4.
The team-info will most likely be removed in the near future.

Thanks for your invaluable input!

/Andreas

Thought I'd create a new thread for these issues
1. Player details have an "unknown" attribute with value 2
2. Player ping is always 0
3. Server can report -1 players
4. Team names don't seem right "Team 1" and "Team 2"?

Example outputs:
