Hey whats the deal with TGEA 1.8 and the master server.
I have been trying to figure out how to implement the basic setup from TGE where a user can select to be either a client or a server and if the user is a client they can search for avaiable games.
I am a programmer but my attempts to do this have failed miserably and i cannot seam to find a resource or forum post which gets me over that bridge am trying to cross with this problem.
All i need is the simpelest solution...the bear minimum that i need to get players finding each other over the internet in TGEA 1.8

The client/server code should still be working. I just started up TGEA and hopped on to see if I showed up on the Master server and it worked. What custom code did you add?

Based on what you said i think that means that by default the game runs as a server. Thank you that actually helps alot. When i get home i am going to check that out. If that is the case the i think that i just need to create a dialg to allow users to find other peoples servers.
Thanks again for the help.
Out of curiosity has any one set this up already in TGEA 1.8.. is their any diferance between ho it works here and in tge?
Am going to work onthis tonight and report my results.
