Sending More Data to Lobby server
« on: July 15, 2013, 10:04:19 AM »
I was wondering if there is an easy way to send info the lobby server that will appear in the server entry on the client side?  I know now it has such things as name, ip address, and player count but I would like to send some other data too.  I would appreciate any help on this.

You can encode all kind of data within the server's name. It's just a string after all. Just parse it properly on the clients.

Ha such a simple solution. I was definitely over thinking it.  Thanks for the tip.
