Modified Files:
hints.dat
Log Message:
hints.dat; updated with new hints regarding changes to close windows and det
circle functionality
data.c: addition of 3rd metaserver to client. This new metaserver entry is a
static DNS that is currently
pointing to the IP address of metaserver2.us.netrek.org, but can be changed if
needed to point to
a non *.netrek.org metaserver, providing a failsafe in case of critical loss of
metaserver facilities. The
DNS entry is currently controlled by the client author (Bill Balcerski).
Multiple minor changes in parsemeta.c, such as formalizing a value for
MAX_SERVERS, removing an
unneeded variable in a sscanf call in parseInput().
parsemeta.c (version_r()): Handle the new server entry case before the old
server entry case, to mimic
how other functions are written.
parsemeta.c (SaveMetasCache): Rewritten to save data as text rather than a
binary file.
parsemeta.c (LoadMetasCache): Rerwritten to load the new text cache file into a
buffer, and parse the
data, making sure to check for invalid entries.
parsemeta.c (metasort): New function that sorts servers by status and player
count, in the case of
the UDP metaserver, as server order in the server list array may need to be
changed as servers
gain or lose players. Called upon metawindow creation, and any time the user
requests a server
refresh.
