Now, keep i mind, i know nothing of webservers and hosting websites, but i do have a as of now unused VPS. Maybe suitable for testing

Windows or Linux? If it's Linux, you can shoot me the credentials in a PM and I can set it up for you. I don't have class on Tuesdays, so I'm sure I could get you a working master server by Wednesday.

I know nothing about Windows / WAMP server stacks though, so if it's windows you're SOL and all I can give you is the PHP files.

Yay... If we start a server on v20, will it appear on the master server or what that changed?

SpongeCraft1212 · September 15, 2014, 06:13:30 PM

It does not appear unless you modify one piece of code. Not telling what that piece of code is.

$trinick · September 15, 2014, 06:14:54 PM

It's really not that hard, you just change the version number to be v21 in the post request. That's not even what we're talking about though.

I only asked that because I don't want to get banned for the v20 server being on the master server for v21

I don't have a VPS to spare and Dannu hasn't contacted me.

Yay so is this going into effect or something?

� Cup · September 18, 2014, 01:40:34 PM

Is this actually going to happen?, cause if it did. I would totally join and play for hours!!!

chubaka452 · September 22, 2014, 04:10:27 PM

Was this a joke or what

$trinick · September 22, 2014, 06:58:26 PM

It wasn't a joke, I just need a Linux server to set it up on. I don't have one and tbh I'm not really down to pay for one just for this purpose. But if someone wants to donate $5/m or a Linux VPS to make this happen, then hell yeah it can happen.

I have an unused Linux VPS lying around.

When a server posts to the master server
- Http: Request, POST /postServer.php
Command: POST
- URI: /postServer.php
Location: /postServer.php
ProtocolVersion: HTTP/1.0
Host: master2.blockland.us
+ ContentType: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
ContentLength: 159
HeaderEnd: CRLF
- payload: HttpContentType = application/x-www-form-urlencoded
ServerName: testing
Port: 28100
Players: 1
MaxPlayers: 20
Map: Custom
Mod:
Passworded: 0
Dedicated: 0
BrickCount: 0
DemoPlayers: 0
blid: 42358
csg: 1800
ver: 21 (any other version, and the master server blocks it out.)
build: 1931 (including this too)
payload: HttpContentType = application/x-www-form-urlencoded

This is when you ping the master server for a list, it just poorly parses a raw text file. (Maybe make the new master server json encoded? :)
- Http: Request, GET /index.php
Command: GET
- URI: /index.php
Location: /index.php
ProtocolVersion: HTTP/1.0
Host: master2.blockland.us
HeaderEnd: CRLF

So for the client, just perhaps have a button to post to new master server using the same method, just a different url?

There, problem solved. That is..., unless wrappers post is misleading. Ah whatever.
