AUTO pORT FOWARDING

[General Nick]

honestly you dont have to fricken go for this i mean if you hate the servers soo much ignore them and dont go on them

You don't understand, because you host one of those many servers.

In short: No one likes the crappy servers except people who can't figure out good ones when they see them.

If you can't host you can't host, also back when I hosted server, I had to leave unprotected(sp?) and I got addware, spyware, and what not, get a good virus blocker and then he might do it for you, and then the net question comes up, why would anyone come to your server.

this would make my life a lot easier if in v10 you made auto port fowarding or atleast a way that you didn't have to go to you default gateway because my dad wont give me his router pass.

NO

I still say that the company's that make routers take my idea and run with it.
Any opposed shall be ignored.

When I was playing some very early alpha of "The Builders' Game" (basically TBM 2 recoded from scratch to about the level of v0002), people managed to join my testing server even though I had not forwarded ports on my router yet. Blockland (RTB) internet servers at that time didn't work. I think it used some sort of IRC system for the 'master server'.

[Headcrab Zombie]

The only way to make port forwarding unneeded is if Badspot hosted the servers for you, and the 'start server' button basically told one of his servers to start under his settings.

Which will never happen.He doesn't have a good enough internet connection for it to work. nor would he want to even if he did.

It would break too many things. Mission editor, to name the biggest.
Server-side add-ons would be limited to an approved list to prevent them from loving around with his computer.


My dad doesn't trust me with the router passwords either. Which is why I just ask him to port forward, give him the program name, IP, and port, and he does it for me without asking any questions.
