Mix Patch (game_ip.txt)

Postby Host_6 » Tue Sep 20, 2016 7:46 pm

How does this thing work actually? I thought that after adding an IP into that game_ip.tx file it should appears in the Network in-game list. I tried adding IPs of all current active servers but only NoxWorld appeared. What are the conditions for the servers to appear in that list?
Does anyone has some knowledge about that?

There is a difference in the protocol even between hosting through XWIS vs. network, mainly due to server having to provide the "topic" info, i.e. map name, players count etc. In case of XWIS, it's the WOL server that stores and provides topic info about the servers for players, so the client doesn't have to ask for it and the server doesn't have to respond to such requests. Network-hosted servers have to provide that info, obviously. NoxWorld is still hosted via network, though Evengard made a XWIS "publisher" for it, with my help.
