Private Lobby Server

[fraggle]

Is there any chance to have a "private lobby server"? This will be nice, cause Warzone Groups can have only "known Players" in their Lobby.
This can be realized via the IP function. If host puts into ip may be "blabla.dyndns.org" - the system creates the new temporary lobby, or it can be done via php, just a php server has to be installed - and connected to the new private lobby page. a little chat included will be nice.
Any other way is also welcome.

Let me know, if there will be happen somthing like this in future.

Thx in advance

When you say "known Players" are you talking about how previous snapshot releases / git required you to have a forum login to play online? That has been removed. Anyone can play now. You can keep games private by hosting with a password.

Or you make the game not register in the official lobby (see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8836&p=93310#p93310), and the clients connect by IP (despite the name it also accepts a hostname) to the host.

I mean, connecting by IP does not show a lobby. So all people must know (cause cannot see) if the Host is online and have to wait for the Host. So they cannot open on THIS server an own game. And what happens when official server lobby is offline? Nobody can connect to that lobby than.

There is a chat room link on the main page.

it's #warzone2100-games on freenode. You can meet other players there and share your ip. I'm not sure it answer any questions here but...

Nobody can connect to that lobby than.

It doesn't prevent you from playing. The "couldn't connect to lobby" message is just a warning, not an error. Others still can connect to you by IP even if the game isn't listed in the lobby.
