I know this is a stupid question, so brace yourselves... also, if this is the wrong forum for this,f eel free to delete.
Does anyone know if there's a walktrhough/tutorial for compiling and running the PushButton master server?

I've just talked with Ben, and I'm going to repackage the distro, as well as add vc6 and PB project files for it.
It's Ben's baby, not mine, I only helped with the MacOS X build btw, but he's busy doing GG stuff, you know ;)
In the meantime, if you want to try to get it to compile yourself, get plib and sqlite :

Nick, there is a readme in the archive, but you also need to get pblib (uses only a tiny part) and sqlite to compile it.I've just talked with Ben, and I'm going to repackage the distro, as well as add vc6 and PB project files for it.

Wonderful, thanks. Any idea when you may be done with your packaging (not that there's any rush)?

Does anyone have any other master server alternatives to torque for a newbie like me?

There's the pblabs one, a PERL one around here somewhere, TNL ships with one... Not too many, but a few.

Sorry to be dumb, but what's TNL?

Oh, I know where the PBMS is. I have it. The problem is, I'm too dumb to be able to compile it without a guide, so I was wondering if there were any alternatives.

Ah, wonderful :) How about that PERL one? Is that too hard to set up/does it have a guide? :D

It doesnt have any fancy sorting though. Just the basic browsing. It was more a proof of concept than a real master server, but it works

Yep - perl one has the fix included, is dead easy to set up and use. Oh - and I'm pimping because I wrote it. Sorry ;-)It doesnt have any fancy sorting though. Just the basic browsing. It was more a proof of concept than a real master server, but it works

TNL also includes a master server implementation.

I was able to compile the Master Server on Windows after compiling the necessary PLIB libraries as well with Visual C++ 2005. (I am just letting you know it IS possible.)

Wasn't TNL opensourced at one time?
