Multiple servers

[dicsoupcan]

Hello people,

Today matt has made a kamserver to help creating extra lobbies, but we have no idea how we can make more then 1 lobby available. Has anyone an idea on how to do this?

Lobbies are automatically appended (till limit set in INI file, 16 by default?) when anyone joins a room.

Ah yes it works, a new one pops up if another one is occupied it seems. Thank you for awnsering.

On a sidenote is it possible to make multiple lobbies on a server with different names?

for example a server made 5 lobbies available and lobby #1-#3 are named Kam server and #4 and #5 are named Giant kam server?

No, this is not possible. If all rooms are the same and created dynamically only when needed then it makes no sense in naming them differently from servers point of view. However in next version games host will be able to set a room description, e.g. "Only Eng plz" or "Tournament game", etc.

That clears up a lot, thanks for the fast response.

Another question (this might turn into a server making for dummies topic^^) is it possible to make lobbies on both the balance release and the official release from one server?

No, the server EXE is only for one version at a time (since stuff changes between releases). You need to run both EXEs separately and have each one on a different port.

Once again thank you for the fast response
