there may be thousands of views... but if they dont have experience or are just reading they wont respond to your comment... one thing i have found with the warzone 2100 community since joining it way back when (newst around 1999/2000) patience is one very much required aspect. being impatient only gets people to either ignore you or to flame/yell/etc...

and there is in fact a lobby... i just dont know exactly where it is... it is in the svn section - you will have to look. all the links are under the home link at the top of the page. if not there - ask kamaze or devurandom they will be able to steer you into the right spot.

Patience is a virtue

There is a lobby server, written in Python. The source can be found here: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/warzone/trun ... terserver/ and the protocol documented here: http://wiki.wz2100.net/Lobby_protocol (only the first section is relevant).

The client is part of the game and can be accessed from the multi-player screen. No IPs, no fuss. All you need is port 9999/TCP open and 9997-9999 outgoing open.

Please note that the lobby does *not* work for LAN games.

Just a FYI, but once you hit the 'lobby' button in game, you almost always will *not* see anything.

That is because not allot of people play this game.... best bet it to get on IRC or post someplace in the forums, that you want to game with someone.

That is because not allot of people play this game... yet.

Fixed.

What do you want to do exactly?

That is a python script, and you can run it locally, but, I dunno why you would want that, unless you point the other LAN clients to the same IP as where the python script is running.

But like I said, if you are looking to play MP games with someone on the net, then you either have to host the game, and wait..and wait...and wait... or hit the lobby button, and see if it displays anything. If not, then it means no games are available. (yet!)

so there isnt any external lobby with players in it? (perfect example > www.ewarzone.com) multiple games on there but not warzone2100 D: i wanted to make one like it for wz2100 but i cant find out enough stuff to do so
