Create a lobby

Post by Fuel »

Hello,

I would like to write a lobby client.
Is there any documentation how to do that?
How to connect to servers, enumerate users, enumerate the installed maps, etc

Thanks!

Write it for use with only one game. That way, individual games can have a lobby customized for that game, instead of yet another one size fits all non-solution.

Hi!

We need someone to take up development on QtLobby.
http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=19306

Maybe you would be interested to do that?

QtLobby is a great lobby, but lacks many of the more exotic features. It is in a somewhat working condition already, and since no one is currently developing it, you would be free to change it as you like.

What language are you looking to use and which platform/OS are you using to develop it?

+1 to QtLobby!

If someone makes it compile though, that would be a great start. I get this since qt > 4.5:

CMakeFiles/qtlobby.dir/MapRendererWidget.cpp.o: In function `MapRendererWidget::resizeGL(int, int)':
MapRendererWidget.cpp:(.text+0x27c4): undefined reference to `gluPerspective'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [src/qtlobby] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/qtlobby.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
