I assume you refer to the built-in simple server. However it's not very well maintained and I'd guess quite rarely used. The usual method of playing games online is via the dedicated wesnoth server - wesnothd. With that in mind I don't see how an integration would work or be desirable. With the simple server in mind it could work but 1) as said it's not very well maintained (ie less features some, stuff is broken); 2) currently you can't start wesnoth and create/connect to a multiplayer game in one go. Admittedly 2) wouldn't be a bad feature to have though.

I don't see how a userbase of "friends of friends" is better than what we currently have on the official multiplayer server(s). _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
