Hi Bruno thanks for the feedback, The goal is use the messenger for networking people. Networkign is mroe than chat, and to overgive the IP adresss of the clients automatically, and not manually by entering the IP of the server or other clients. Furthermore users do not need to forward ports anymore, if the RS com layer is used. Third, the messenger is a social network, which allows to build a userbase for the game over friends of friends, so a good effect for the disribution. Of course, the other side is to maybe bundle the messenger with your game, so that users get th experience of both and the synergies. Please just evaluate the next version, which has then the networkign api/sdk Com layer, before you judge, I guess there is not a lot of code to change, just to make a command line to overgive the IP adresses from the rs friendslist. So... why not a serverless method in addition to the given one? Regards Mike
