Project Description:
I took the opensource [login to view URL] , changed minor things to my client and server name, it uses [login to view URL] by same creators [login to view URL] to launch old directplay games and direcplay 8 games
All works perfect but, there is another gaming client out there called GameRanger [login to view URL] that is above perfect, It can launch people into the games without them having to open ports in their routers
Gameranger and the like instead just grab the packets sent by directplay and pass them on to the other clients tunneling them through the server. For the clients it looks like they play locally as gameranger will emit packages locally again and so bypass firewall and router, the way they do it the games don't lag at all
Basically I need you guys to modify the [login to view URL] program source to be able to launch games bypassing firewalls like gameranger does, I have the server running and the client in beta, just waiting for the perfect launcher to be done so I can move my friends from the gameranger client to use mine, only for the game Total Annihilation Kingdoms for now, maybe in the future I add more games, which is very easy
My website: [login to view URL] game full download from [login to view URL] the client is not public yet, but if you need to test eighter use coopnet client or ask me for mine and access to the server if you need, which is slow since I am for now running it all at home till I get it all ready and sorted out to move to a faster server
