eezstreet Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 The code for this should drop in JKG relatively soon. It's available in the ultra secret code bunker of this forum. MUG likes this

Isn't this pointless in jkg though? as you just use one server? Get Razor to put this in ja++ xD edit: also, would be neat if you could allow the client to add new master server options.
Szico VII Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Can we not have it as an install file? As I dont code 'D
eezstreet Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 Awesome. Isn't this pointless in jkg though? as you just use one server?we have been distributing the serverside to trusted partiesGet Razor to put this in ja++ xDalready been notifiededit: also, would be neat if you could allow the client to add new master server options.Can be done already. Forgot to mention this. Just change the sv_masterX cvars on the client. The source list goes in this order:* Local* Master1* Favorites* Master2* Master3* Master4* Master5 If you want to change the display, all you have to do is change the string in mp_ingame.str. If sv_masterX is blank, then that entry will be skipped in the list.Can we not have it as an install file? As I dont code 'Done does not simply "insert code into game" without worrying about mods and the like MUG likes this
CaptainChar Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 JKhub has a server selection? when did that happen
eezstreet Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 when you believe hard enough and dig deep enough, all of your dreams will come true
MUG Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 JKHub has a server selection? when did that happenPretty sure it has had it since long before opening. Was set up when the official master-server went down and people (erroneously) said it had been retired. The idea was to release a patch to the community which would let them use the replacement master-server, but the official one went back up and the idea was ditched. I guess they just never took down the JKHub master-server after that. tl;dr; its been there ages, there just hasn't been any way to use it at all, as the game is programmed to look for the raven one specifically.
CaptainChar Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 ah that explains why the master server never seemed to vanish then
eezstreet Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 And I have code here which allows you to switch between any 5 master servers in the Join Server dialogue. So there you go etc
Szico VII Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 The idea was to release a patch to the community which would let them use the replacement master-server This is what I was speaking of... AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A MOD. :/

Szico VII Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 A patch, a mod is not. CaptainChar likes this
eezstreet Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 er, the patch won't operate the same way as an official ravensoft one. I don't think anyway. I could be wrong on that.
Mysterious Stranger Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Would that fix the thing where one needed to spam refresh/get new list and then click on game: Jedi Academy then all, in order to have *all* the servers displayed?

It automatically gets a new list any time you hit the source button.
Link Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Mhm, JAWA has been using it for a while now. I hope we can get this alternate master server out there and in use by the general community soon.
eezstreet Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 The code for this is out and in the open. It's just a matter of mods adding it to their setup (@, @@Fighter and @@Defiant have looked over and/or added it for the purposes of JA++, OpenRP and MB2)
spior Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I approve of the fact that 1/3-rd of the servers are makermod.Oh and @@eezstreet ... didn't you base that off of my code?* spior runs *
eezstreet Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 No, I didn't. I completely rewrote the whole function that you were pointing me at, because that function is sloppily coded anyway.
2MT350 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 well, we should always have more then one master server, thats the way its been for along time. the ja+ cfg and cfg's of other mods are even coded for 4-6 masterservers plus, i think it would be fun to make a masterserver, for experience
Tx606 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Crazy idea here, and probably not possible. Would it be possible to fetch the serverlist from multiple masters, and mash them together into one massive list? Obviously (if possible) you'll only have one entry per server (in case its submitting to multiple masters that your client receives). Although I guess I can agree with Caelum, we don't want dozens of master servers popping up.
