I know that it won't change stats or server locations, but it does change a lot of things if your server can't accept incoming connections from other non-local computers... If users can't be verified because they only wanted to play localy without other people party crashing, they simply can't except if they use no -nomauth option. That's why it should be easyer that the program zqds can decide if it can use mauth or not. Just like the "active servers and player" page "decides" that servers can be shown or not... Hopefully this makes sense.

Mauth simply verifies a user name, and doesn't change the stats system that AQ has always used, or the site location. So in order to change the stats site itself, you'd need to enter a different site address in the server.cfg file and then have the appropriate code running on that site to deal with the info that it is sent by the particular session of AQ. Mauth just makes sure that each player is a valid one and that they are the only instance of that particular player on a server at any given time. Hopefully this clears this up, and if I, myself, am missing something, then hopefully someone will chime in as well?… Have an awesome day!… Smiles, Cara :) On Jul 20, 2008, at 1:57 AM, Roland Engelsma wrote: > Hi Sabahattin, > > You know that the "active servers" page only displays servers who > reply to > certain packets or whatever.
