Hi, I will try to answer your question - let me know if I am on the right track.

In short, as I understand your questions, the answers are YES, and YES.

You can see all the players when you host a dedicated server, but with the right scripts in place you can see all the players even as a client. Try pressing F2 in realmwars or the example application (Assuming you have purcahsed torque), otherwise download realmwars to see it go.

Also, a game timer is included in the example app. I assume by game timer you mean a display of the mission time? The one in the example application syncronises the mission time to all clients on connect and the client is in charge of incrementing it from then on.

Hi Michael :-)
thx for fast request.
cool. mission time display is that was i mean.
and what must i do to see the the mission time in Game? (must i edit *.cs files?) where can i read an tutorial?

and, no, i mean not the playerlist (F2), i mean :
when i add the mission time display into Game, and host a dedicated server, can all player see the mission time.

many thanks
