Anyone know where the hex location is for number of players ingame? It sucks that direct connecters arent shown. Bad for business.

Thanks

No point. It's in cGameData (engine_game.h), access it like this:

int current_players = The_Game()->CurrentPlayers;

No, you cannot cheat the xwis sorting system to put your server at the top of the list of games with your fake player count Razz

Doesn't WOL/XWIS just track the number of players connected through WOL/XWIS, therefore there would be nothing you can change on the server to alter that since I don't think it even queries that information from the server in the first place.

Not sure though...

Pretty sure you're right. I think it just counts the players in the channel.

Ding!

But why do people direct connect in the first place?
and I have a way around that once I finish rene-buddy 2. I will basically replace the xwis login/joining server process.

Its faster to use a separate program to get gsa server list then it is to start renegade then find and join the server. Renlist had wol connect but its broke n latest version.

renlist is broken for the same reason Renebuddy 1 is broken, they changed the wol protocol (a little bit).
I actually have been working on RB 2 lately and I will try to add this to it.

(Btw.. one of these days they are going to fuck up the actual renegade clients by changing the wol protocol.)
