-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
I think there's some confusion about mauth (the Master Authentication scheme) here. Let me explain how it works, briefly: 1. User registers at the stats page. The database of usernames/passwords is updated and is used by a master server running at the same site. To register with the primary AGRIP Stats system, you use the forms at http://stats.agrip.org.uk/reg/ 2. HTTP can be used by the launcher, if desired, to verify the status of player registrations. 3. Servers are configured with the master server. The server and master support mauth. Every server that wants advertising is accumulated by Stats for display. 4. Zquake, which is built with mauth support, starts a game to a chosen server. The server checks the user against the master with mauth. 5. If the master likes the credentials, the server accepts the player. 6. Server frags are sent to the master. 7. Fraglogs are analysed by the Stats 'n' Servers infrastructure. Only when a registered username is both the source and target of a frag does it count towards the stats against a target user. In this picture, every component is freely available: the client, the game server, the master server - and yes, even the Stats 'n' Servers infrastructure. To do your own stats on your own network, you can use all of these components locally and set off the same process by using an internal master server, configured on internal servers. I think the only AGRIP-specific bit is in the launcher, and you could easily change that. I hope this makes things clearer!
