What do you have to do in order to fix a master server anyway. I know it must be really complicated, but im just curious.

It's all quite simple really.

I just have to wiggle the flux magnatron until it reaches maximum capacity, then I turn the crank giganator till it is at an optimum angle. Then I sit around and ponder what may be up with it until I eventually have the time to sit down and have a look at it on top of college and trying to sort out things with my ex-girlfriend who I should never have broke up with in the first place.

It's all relatively simple stuff, y'know?
 
I have a suggestion about the MS.
How about if you add one more server entitled "PRIVATE"?
So the Server is prompted to put in a password and anyone who wants to join must put in the password...?
So someone could spread the password or setting up a netgame only with friends.
I think that would be great. Well that's just MY suggestion..

If you want to setup a friends only netgame, then you just don't advertise it and instead dish out the IP address...?
 
Frankly, if you want to restrict entry to only a few individuals, a "passkey" wad would work; just have a wad that contains some dummy data that doesn't do anything, pass it out to the people you want joining, and load it in your server with downloading turned off.
 
Can you host by ip, withouth port foward? Also this so called wad could be a blank wad or something?

Yea.... maybe that.
But If the server reaches wadlimit because of that wad and you still need one more wad..? (Playerlimit is not an option btw.)

If you reach the wad limit you shouldn't be hosting anyways, because that means you're a really irritating host who probably adds about 5 different recolours.
 
Of course there is! If people added all of the wads they wanted there would be major lag. Well that was my experience with too many wads on my server so I only add them on rare occasions. (torturedplanet server)

You need to port forward to host at all, except with Hamachi. The master server simply shows your server in an active list of servers; you're always hosting by IP. The MS simply makes it easier for people to join.

Just make a single lump in the WAD, I think he's saying, that contains nothing in it, making that lump a dummy. Then you provide a link to that WAD to only the people you want in your server, and disallow downloading.

yeah. I know what you mean! so now I only use my favorite WAD's if that when ever I play it wich is rarely ever since obviously its not as much fun when you can't host a game..
