Where/What type of server do i use to send and recieve data

[Wordy]

Really? Rtb chat? No. I need probably a website so one client sends something to the server and it relays it to all other clients who have the mod. Guess i have to wait for ephi to take a peek in here..

Take a look at the XServer code which was created my DarkLight, it should be on the RTB add-ons database.

Look at BlockOS

No.

How much scripting have you done before elm?

It's not really the scripting I'm having trouble with, it's setting up this middleman to catch and relay data. I need to know how to set that up, tcp objects I won't have any trouble with.

I don't see why you don't look at Brian's Block OS. It could be very helpful with what you're trying to do.

It would be better to look at XServer I think. It does almost exactly what you're saying.

If I needed help in the torque script part of this, i'd rather look through a neater, proper scripted mod, such as RTB. Thanks for the suggestion though..

Oops, sorry I missed your earlier post.

Anyway, you could send a PM to Ephi about how he made his server.

Yeah, I'll probably do a little more research before PMing him, thanks for the suggestion.

You'd need to either:
a) require the player to open a port for cross-client communication (ie. XServer)
or b) run the data through a external API of sorts (ie. RTB chat)

[Lugnut]

he's trying to do b.

question: is there a place where i can run scripts (like python servers) for free?

[Brian Smithers]

Yeah
On your computer

[Lugnut]

No, dedicated.
I also cannot port forward for reasons I don't feel like wasting my time discussing.

[Brian Smithers]

Well
For free you can get a friend to do it
Then the list ends
