Master Server

Post by Reflow »

I would like to a see a main master server so all the games can be hosted onto that. And if you want to host your own game; it would be connected with the Master server as well. Like wolfenstein,cod, and other games have this. This and many other games are so complicated with the join server problem.

If you don't catch where I'm going at go play Wolfenstein or COD and see there Game Server lists.

Please do you research next time  :)

We already have this in Warzone (we refer to it as a Lobby server sometimes). It runs on port 9997 (2.1) and 9998 (2.0) at lobby.wz2100.net.

The source can be found here: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/warzone/trun ... iew=markup

Really? I have never been able to connect to that server, not even once. And i have been playing warzone 2100 more than 6 months now. Lobby has never worked. I just tried to connect to lobby again couple of minutes ago, but no success. When I start game from Debian Linux commandline it says:

error: NETfindGame: Cannot connect to "lobby.wz2100.net:9998": Couldn't connect to remote host

If I go to that address using telnet

$ telnet lobby.wz2100.net 9998
Trying 78.47.27.67...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Same with port 9997. So there is no master server or it's always down when i try to play.

When I go into the lobby server, i dont see any games, maybe it's because people aren't playing, or do i need something?
