How do you setup a master server so that everyone running your engine can find other servers that are running?

you will have to code your own master server since there's no releasable master source code from GG... i think it's something with copyrigths from sierra or something..

Really? I thought their response was "we're too busy to get it out right now".

The meant to me that following the GDC and a bit of work on it they'd be able to send it out.

I think you mixed the responses up. A few people said "it's easy to code your own" to appease the folks who didn't want to wait on GG's master server code.

I guess we need a response from GG to know for sure!

I'm sure that if you looked at the myth3 master server you could get some ideas for building the torque master server. If you get the outline of a working module you can better implemt it with pushing our own bits around.

And the best part is it is opensource. so share that code.
I willl find a link where you can download the source. I would like to mess around with it myself

I would think that the master server coding would be an important development of the Tourque engine....
