Server/mysql

I am in the begining stages of a game, and I have a server and I am wondering what I would need to have on the server for it to host multiplayer games where people anywhere could connect too. Also I am curios if I installed MySQL onto the server would Torque beable to connect with it and get/send data to there for user's accounts.

If you install MySQL, you will have to add code to your project to get the two to talk to each other. There is some code floating around here for a login system, from which you could modify to include inventory and such if so desired.
Here's how to integrate MySQL into your torque project:

Well, I believe you could just run Torque's dedicated server - on your server - and that would be all you need to get going. Setup your game to point to your server as the master server, then anyone who has your game will be able to see the server, and how many people are currently playing on it.

Is there any specific software that will need to be installed to get the server to work with torque?
