In game chat lobby/game browser

by Chris Adams · in Technical Issues · 03/23/2001 (4:22 pm) · 12 replies

I figure Tribes 2 will have an in-game server browser, much like all of the recent FPS's, so is it safe to say that one will be included with the GUI's with the V12? I surely hope so because that would definately save some time..

Thanks

I think you'll have the GUI components...however you'll probably have to make your own graphics for them, and that browser, I would think, is Tribes 2 specific code.

It has been stated that the Won.net code will be removed from the V12 engine. I am pretty sure this covers the server browser code.

The WON.net code is for encryption and verification. The server browser code is included.

Well, actually... I was ripping out the WON net code the other day and it looks like WON net was handling the master server list (this was added after Rick and I left). So connection and communication with a new master server (or a version of the old Tribes 1 master) would have to be put back in and will probably not be in the initial drop.

Hi everyone,

I know this is an old thread but was just wondering if anyone has implemented a chat lobby\game browser in Torque yet. If so, can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

Thanks

Well I thought there was a resource IRC GUI script written for Torque posted here, but I am unable to find it. Anyway, creating your own won't be easy since you will need to figure out a way to handle the communication traffic manually. I thought somebody was going to do a resource on this and release. I guess that somebody got side tracked and forgot. :(

We have a ingame lobby system implemented, I am not sure yet what the extend of our resource release will be, but once we are out of beta, I would like to give something back to the community, who has given us so much.

@Adrian

That is cool. Can't wait to see what you have done. Do you need any beta testers?

Where do I find the server sided lobby code of the demo? Or isn't there any?

The friendly folks at the IRC channel gave me the answer:

1) there is no server side code in the TGE source.
2) there are two (known) so called master server solutions:
a) the Perl Solution at http://www.trylleskoven.dk/c3/c3masterserver.zip
There is a discussion of a certain bug in this code here, but it seems that the code is already fixed in the zip file
b) The C++ solution from Push Button Labs.
