Does any one know how to make a menu that when opened searches for all servers that are for the same game and then list them (like in system link games) so you can choose which server you want to connect to?

I am assuming it has to do some thing with strings. But how would you search for a specific server?

I will try to figure it out myself, in the meantime

Thanks in advance,

When someone creates a server make sure you store it in a database, on the client retrieve all the listings in the database and select the IP from there.

The methode bstudio posted is possible, but not realy good. The problem is that the computer which has opened a game have to ping all the time to the server which saves the database so that the database server knows if the server with the game is still online. And another problem is that you need a database server and if this server crashs, no one can play anymore because they can't find any games!

A better methode would be to use UDP, send a broadcast and every computer which has an open session sends back his data (IP,...). It's simple and very effective! Games like CS,... use this technic.

Nice suggestion, I'll be sure to remember that one when I do some multiplayer stuff again

Sorry if i get on your nerves. I looked on google, in the manuel and such, and found out what a UDP was. Now that i know, i have know idea how to write a code to do such thing. If any one can give me a code or a tutorial on how to do this, it would greatly be appreciated.

You will need a plugin so that you can get acess to the udp-protocol. Ulrich Seiffert wrote such a plugin for me a few months ago, you can buy it on his webside: http://www.gameus.de
