WZBlue lobby monitor -- new version for 4.5.x

Post by bendib »

Hi all. I almost never post anymore even though I still play, but I thought I'd mention a new version of the WZBlue lobby monitor for 4.5.x
Previous versions of Warzone 2100 were limited to 11 games in the lobby due to code debt.
WZBlue previously used that protocol, and the new data set that comes after the lobby server MOTD was ignored.

This fixes that, allowing our overcrowded autohoster-filled lobby to work correctly with WZBlue.

Here's the source: https://github.com/Subsentient/wzblue
You'll want to build from source with make GTKCHOICE=3 if you're on Linux or macOS (with brew).
For Windows, I've got a prebuilt exe. https://universe2.us/collector/wzblue.exe

The new version is 1.3.1. There's more that could be done to exploit modern lobby features, but not using them currently.

Enjoy, and let me know any bugs you find.

The code is not signed, so if you get an "Unknown publisher" warning on Windows, click "More Info" and then click "Run".
I'm not a fan of modern app store code signing enforcement. Still have nightmares about when macOS forced it on by default.

1.3.2: Allow filtering empty games. With our autohoster filled lobby, you can see what a difference it makes.

https://universe2.us/collector/wzblue.exe for Windows users. Previous was 64-bit build. Now doing 32-bit so some with weak PCs or bad Windows 10 installs can use it.
