[glob2-devel] unify lan and yog

[Leo Wandersleb]

hi *

just a thought:
wouldn't it make sense to unify yog and lan technically?

the yog-button connects to the one predefined IP of globuilation2.org while 
LAN->connect asks for an IP. LAN->host launches exactly what we have running at 
our server including a ladder with some options (speedladder, registered users, 
serverpassword, allow client maps, ...)

I'm thinking of what we had in the good old days: lan-parties with 5..2500 guys 
carrying their PCs to one location and play there for some days. Having stats 
was important there ;)

But I'm also thinking of being really open. The proposed way it would be no work 
at all for people to launch alternative servers. If we shift the hard-coded main 
ip to a config file you could even permanently use a different server without 
needing to recompile.

Opinions?
