Title: GameRanger support?
Post by: Ninjitsu on May 05, 2014, 06:56:38 am

Hi everyone!

Long time lurker, finally made an account.

Was wondering about multiplayer, are there any plans to request GameRanger (http://www.gameranger.com/about/) support?

Currently using it for games like Rise of Nations, Halo and Age of Empires. I saw some old requests on the GameRanger forums for implementing FS2 support, but I think devs can contact the GameRanger developer as well (see link).

Cheers!

If it works by scraping the game's native matchmaking service, GameRanger could just watch the game list on fs2netd.game-warden.com.  If we could make an api to make getting that data from the website easier, we could look into that.  I don't think the game needs to bother with contacting the GameRanger service directly though, at least I doubt most games are working that way.
