Lame ideas from someone who doesn't know how to code...

The netcode needs a bigger rewrite. Important is -in my opinion- to change to a P2P like netcode.
This means, if the host (the initiator of the game) leaves the game, to whole game doesn't get canceled.
While playing.

It's better to give players choise: to play with standard client-server architecture or to play with peer-to-peer connection because there is big number of networks where peer-2-peer connections are not allowed.
I have a little question: where can I find a software for WZ Lobby Server? Please help me with it

look under the source code heading - browse svn.... i would have provided the link here but svn wasnt up at this moment in time.

updated - svn online now.

mcdebugger does have a valid point about p2p issues.  If p2p requires certain port(s) to stay open, it may not work with some people.  You'd have to have at least one peer that can accept incoming connections (ie open firewall ports).  Just something to think about.

The subversion repository itself is hosted at http://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk and svn://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk

I've got WebSVN running for Warzone's repository at http://warzone.mortis.eu/websvn/
A (read-only) mirror of the subversion repository itself is also available at http://svn.mortis.eu/warzone/

Actually Warzone currently already works with a P2P network model. Changing it into a server-client model would be more difficult.

I have a little question: where can I find a software for WZ Lobby Server? Please help me with it

A C++ implementation of a lobby server (requires boost and boost::asio): http://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk/to ... erver_cpp/
A Python implementation: http://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk/tools/lobby/

If p2p requires certain port(s) to stay open, it may not work with some people.

Any form of connecting across TCP/IP networks requires ports to stay open.

You'd have to have at least one peer that can accept incoming connections (ie open firewall ports).  Just something to think about.

You need to have one peer that can accept incoming connections anyway, with or without a P2P model.
