Recently having quit wow and starting to play a bit of quakeworld/quake2 again, I was more than annoyed of the state of ASE as in not being maintained/updated anymore by yahoo.
Don't know if any of you still use ASE, but anyway, I've been modifying filters.txt a bit for quakeworld, quake2, quake3, doom3 and quake4. This is the result (notice the filter list on the left in the shots, it has extra options):
1. Unzip to "C:\Program Files" (or "C:\Program Files (x86)" on 64-bit windows).
2. Double click "disable_auto_update.reg" (this disables auto-update, which would otherwise overwrite filters.txt).
3. Start ASE up using "ASECountryHack.exe" (or a shortcut linked to this file).
4. Edit the paths to your game executables (and optional command line options). (Tools - Options - Games)

Note: As of May 2008 the ASE pingers and scanners have been taken off line, meaning ASE will no longer find new servers. This also means refreshing info from servers in your ASE list will be quite slow. However if you still want to keep on using ASE over any other server browser, read on.
It is possible to manually import server lists with ip:port format listings in text format. Sorting/formatting within the text file before importing isn't needed, as long as the ip's and ports are given in the ip:port format.
- Its possible to import server lists (exported) from GameSpy (Quake2).
- Its also possible to import server lists from MAXBrowse .xml files, if they are renamed to .txt (Quake3, Quake4, Doom3).
- http://www.quakeservers.net/lists/servers/global.txt can be imported (QuakeWorld).
Of course you can still manually add single servers in ASE as well.
I've included servers into this archive as of May 2008, found on various master servers, using the above method. I'm personally going to keep on using ASE in spite of it being crippled, until a worthy replacement comes along.

Oh man, that fucking sucks! There is no other server browser to fill the shoes of eye imo, tried kquery and some others but they all look so messy in comparison... anyone got suggestions for what to use when eye finally kicks the bucket?

updated 2008-06-23:
- updated geolite country ip database
- updated filters for q3 cpma 1.46
- updated filters for q4max 0.82
- updated server lists using the most common qw, q2, q3, d3 and q4 master servers
note: ASE won't find new servers automatically due to the ASE pingers and scanners going offline some time ago, you'll have to manually add new servers yourself. pinging and scanning however still works, albeit slower than before.

i'll continue to periodically update this archive with servers until a worthy replacement comes along. if you actually still use ASE as well and don't want to wait for my updates, you can import server lists yourself as well, takes about 10 seconds :). _________________ http://cure.gamepoint.net http://www.xs4all.nl/~rzavelli/stuff
