Instead of a php or mysql server you could run a server(a7 with anet for example) as master server. But i think you dont want your pc to be online 24/7 right wink

So one way is to use a mysql list stored on another server online or use php(the programmers of GTA SA MP used php for their serverbrowser. One of them is working for evilhosting now. We had a long talk about it. was very interesting).

But before you start: train yourself with simple multiplayer application you can test with your friends. The nasty thing is to keep it playable over lan(easy) or/and internet(not that easy). My MP code for my Game CUBE: Run for YOUR life for example works also great on inet.

Iam looking forward to your first project smile. Whenever you need help with Gstnet tell me your problems with your app and i'll see what i can do. Or ask the developer directly on his website(gstools.de).
