(In the front, Forgive me please for my english :( ) I had an idea for the master-server. The idea is, to base the master-server on an IRCd.
So, why that? The IRC Protocoll is text-based, like discussed before, and it would make many things easier. - We would have a stable Master-Server (Or master-server's) - A simple protocoll - The possibility to create easy a lobby chat (while searching a game) - The possibility to create easy game chat rooms. - A userlist (whois online etc...) - The DCC-File protocoll could be used, to share maps/mods, if one client hasnt it. (Autodownload) - The possibility to bind the master-server with an user registration. ... And games could be created like channels :) For example: (#game is reserved) #game.<type>.<map>.<player>.<startet_from>.<game_name> [<password>] So, if someone requests a game list, we could use the "LIST" command from the IRC protocoll.
