Adding lobby servers on user end
« on: May 09, 2007, 11:40:04 pm »
I could of swore I read a bit back that you can add more lobby sites in your  lobby_servers file to see more servers but cant recall if this is what im thinking of. In the lobby_servers file there's currently only rr.soldat.pl. Isnt there a selfkill one you can add as well? Any others?

The lobby system has changed a lot with the new version; that lobby is the current only lobby. (well, actually, it's not just one lobby, it's a round-robin DNS.)

and that wasn't true even with the old lobby.  The separate lobby "servers" each synchronized with eachother a few times per hour, so they theoretically had the same data.

 I believe that up until 1.4, Soldat used the data from one server anyway, the first one to respond.  The lobby server architecture in 1.4 has changed completely and you should see all of the servers running, all of the time (once one or two bugs are worked out in the 1.4 patch)
