Zero-k.info forums use lobby accounts. This should use the them as well, or at least the same accounts from springrts.com.

some http-lobby-auth would be nice... would be very useful for other services to, maybe the zero-k soap service could be used for that:

http://zero-k.info/ContentService.asmx?WSDL

"VerifyAccountData"

but soap is really ugly to use in most languages except .net :-/

or just a real connection to the lobby-server.

but imo ssl would be really nice for that...

Yeah, the biggest push that could be given to this project would be it being able to use either this forum database or the lobby database to setup existing accounts so people can just log straight on.

Unfortunately, I don't have the know-how to set that up, but I'd be more than happy to give Admin access to anybody who could.

In PHP you can do something like:


Looks ok to me, no?
(Probably similar for other languages too (except C++).)

hu? that has to be new :D

"
The SoapClient class

(No version information available, might only be in SVN)"

i only knew about some lib written in php ...

then its fine and easy to use (if available on the server installed php).

Hm, SVN? You got this from here, right?
http://www.php.net/manual/de/class.soapclient.php

But I think its in since 5.0.1 as stated here:
http://www.php.net/manual/de/soapclient.soapclient.php

No idea whats the difference between those two though ^^

If only there was a well established standard for these kind of remote authentication situations with libraries in dozens of languages.

maybe OAuth?

Have fun keeping that up

Good idea! Units turn to "action" place and look if they do nothing before.

Or units stop fighting and look at explosion near them for 2 seconds (nuke, fusion ...)
